Songs from The Legend of White Snake

A Thousand Years of Waiting: As a theme song, the melody is beautiful and impeccable. I think it, together with Du Qing and Umbrella as Matchmaker, are the main theme of the love between a lady and an official.

Mask of Sadness: It is actually a variant of the tune "A Thousand Years of Waiting", with a slower tempo than the former, which can create a sad atmosphere.

Previous and present life: Although it is only two lines of tune, one high and one low, it is very beautiful and gives people a feeling of heavenly music. The melody of the first sentence is floating, and then the melody of the second sentence goes down. The best thing is in the sliding tone of the second word. I wonder if everyone feels the same? This tune really gives people a feeling of "past and present life". "Qingcheng Mountain Bai Suzhen" uses this blend, which makes people feel like a fairy descending to earth.

Duqing: This tune is actually the main theme of the love between a lady and an official, or so I think. No matter how good the name is, the most wonderful thing is the word "cross". The scene on TV is also very wonderful. The lady and the official meet by the West Lake, and the boatman and Xiaoqing sing duet. Crossing gives people the impression that it is like a river. One side of the river is the fairy world, and the other side is the world of mortals. Guanyin pointed out that the lady who came to the mortal world to repay her kindness must cross to the other side of the river. It can be said that it took thousands of years of cultivation to cross in the same boat. It also echoes Fa Hai’s words, “In order to be born into the world, you must first join the world.”

Entanglement: lingering and pathos, poignant and moving. It's sad, but also beautiful. It should be the saddest tune among all the songs, but it is not the saddest. The reason is that it is still somewhat touching despite its sadness. In other words, there is also a glimmer of hope, and Reunion after a Broken Bridge uses this tone. Reunion on a broken bridge is a very sad scene, but we are reunited after all, and the ending is good.

Umbrellas are matchmakers: names are like poems, more beautiful than poems. The wife and the official, with the umbrella as matchmaker, have created a story that has lasted for thousands of years. Therefore, this song is also the main theme of the love between the lady and the official. The difference between it and "Duqing" is: the feeling of "Duqing" gives people It expresses this relationship from a large scale of time and space, time: thousands of years; space: the fairy world and the mortal world. The umbrella is a matchmaker, which is said from a relatively small time and space scope. It is more specific, pays more attention to details, and its own tone is more beautiful. Heart Lake Rain and Wind should be a variation of Umbrella is Match Red.

Let’s talk about what I think is the saddest tune: love, hatred, love and hate. I think it is the saddest. It is so sad that it reaches despair. This tune should be used for farewell to death and separation from life. So it is more tragic than entanglement. This tune was used when the lady was imprisoned in Leifeng Pagoda and her relationship with the officials was over. Do you still remember what the official sang when he decided to go to Jinshan Temple to become a monk and practice for his wife, and when he left the infant official in tears, he sang: A bunch of blue silk is tied around the body, and the hair is like a human being's hair day and night, the joys and sorrows on the road to growth Things, bit by bit, the soul of the Taoist mother... Your mother's pain is endless under the tower, and your father wants to be a loving monk in Jinshan. If there is no day when the couple reunites, they will visit two graves during the Qingming Festival... This is the tune. I think this song is the most popular song in the world. It is the saddest in the play because it is so sad that it reaches despair...

Song of Immortals: As the name suggests, the song sounds like it is sung by an outsider.

Wanting to Fly: I think it is also like the melody of love, but more like the melody of Shilin and Mei Niang’s love, because it only appears in the second half of the play, and its lyrics are also It seems to be writing about Mei Niang.

Heaven doesn’t understand love: it’s a little desolate, a little helpless. Just as it is sung: "It is easy to wake up from a good dream, it is a good dream, but it will turn into smoke in a blink of an eye." It should be sung for the love between the lady and the official.

Love and Law: First of all, the drums and gongs used in the background of the song are very distinctive, so I think this is the most distinctive song. I think this piece of music seems to be the general outline of the whole story. It seems to explain a lot of things, a bit like the judgments in the fifth chapter of Dream of Red Mansions. Why the love between the lady and the officer cannot last forever, why Mei Niang’s ending is so tragic, and why Fahai keeps trying to break up the lady and the officer, you can all be inspired by this song. "Love, resentment, and hatred are all sins, and I can be freed by a thunder." The screenwriter regards love as a sin, doesn't it? From this perspective, many problems can be solved.

Yes, it seems that the love between the lady and the official is the purpose of the lady to earn tears, so what is the beauty of this love? Where is our new white, the lady is just to repay the favor.

In fact, in the opera White Snake, there is no such thing as repaying a favor. However, precisely because the screenwriter added the antecedent of repaying a favor, the love between the lady and the official is so beautiful and touching. It enriches the story of the White Snake, and , you read it, your soul will be purified, right?

As for the circumstances under which I wrote it, ahem, maybe it was after meeting Zhao Yazhi, haha~
