Appreciation of Poetry in Hong Kong TV Movies

First of all, this is a repost, the source is unknown, repost from the big talk movie forum.

China has a long history and colorful culture. Since the Spring and Autumn Period, The Book of Songs has been the first to shine brilliantly, followed by Tang poetry, Song ci, Yuanqu and Ma Pingchuan, thus creating three eras. Since then, we have added many catchy poems and songs. For example, Li Bai's "Thinking about a Quiet Night": There is such bright light at the foot of my bed. Is there frost already? . I looked up at the moon and looked down, feeling nostalgic. It can be said that it is sung through the ages; There is also Su Dongpo's "Niannujiao Red Cliff Nostalgia": the river of no return, a romantic figure through the ages. Only this sentence, eternal heroism, jumped out.

As we all know, there are many kinds of Hong Kong films, among which the most China-style martial arts film is the costume film. Sword shadow, be immersed in love with children, picturesque, how many heroes at one time. Jianghu, what is Jianghu? Everyone has his own answer. Since the costume film is set in ancient times, it is naturally set off by poetry. Now, let me talk about the poems that have appeared in Hong Kong movies.

One: First, I told a ghost story. It is said that Ning returned to Lanruo Temple the next night and wanted to drive away the wild wolves in the forest with three lanterns. In order to be brave, he read a poem aloud: "Did you see me? How did the water of the Yellow River move out of heaven and into the ocean, never to return?" Have you noticed that the lovely hair in the bright mirror in the high room, although it is silky black in the morning, has turned into snow at night. Oh, let a brave man take risks in his favorite place ... "Good poem, ending with Li Taibai's" Into the Wine ",is like a rainbow, with a wave of thousands of miles. Before the song was finished, Xiao Gan smiled next to him. There is also a poem. Ning He tried to escape from them in a wild shop. It is late at night. He unfolded her picture scroll and wrote a poem beside it: ten miles of frost on a flat lake, every inch of grass does not worry about the New Year. Looking at the full moon and protecting each other, I only admire Yuanyang but not the fairy. Poetry is a good poem, and affection is affectionate. This poem has no source, but it refers to the poem Qing Xiang in White, but it is more in line with the artistic conception of the film after the reform. The author of this poem should be a screenwriter: Jizhi Ruan or a producer: Tsui Hark.

Two: Then came Gambler Two: A gambler on the beach. You may wonder, why modern movies? Are there any poems here? The answer is: yes. Well, each gang has its own organization and its own secret code, also called incision, to distinguish its own from others'. For example, the "Heavenly King Covers the Earth Tiger, Baota Town River Demon" in "Outward-looking Tiger Mountain" is a well-known example. In this movie, the situation is the same. It is said that one day, there was a scuffle on the streets of Shanghai beach, and dozens of people hacked. The situation is critical. At this time, our handsome brother Xing and his extremely petty uncle appeared. Suddenly, one of them wanted to sign a signal with brother Xing: Will there be frost on the bright line at the foot of my bed? . Looking up, I found it was moonlight. What's the next sentence? Brother Xing replied without thinking: I sank back again, and I suddenly remembered home. He proudly thought: it's too simple, but I got more than 60 points in the primary school Chinese exam! Ha ha! Theoretically, academically, Brother Xing is right. Unfortunately, this is a triad society, not to mention theory and academics. The man announced the answer: it should be-the bridge breaks water and flows backwards! Mama of, the word that Brother Xing and I blurted out turned out to be like this! From this perspective, it can also explain a truth, that is, the cultural level of the underworld in Shanghai is much higher than that of the bandits in Northeast China, and even the argot is so literate. This is Li Bai's "Silent Night Thinking" which has been told for thousands of years, everyone!

Three: Since we are talking about Brother Xing, let's have another one, "Tang Bohu Lights Chou-heung". Tang Bohu was born in Chenghua, Ming Xianzong for six years, and Yin Shi, silver moon, so he was named Tang Yin, and Tang Bohu was named because he was a tiger. Tang Yin was extremely clever, and he painted Shuang Jie in poetry, ranking first among the four gifted scholars in the south of the Yangtze River. He was an idol worshipped by men, women and children at that time. This is what the movie said; Tang Yin's word "Bohu", even more "fear", is the owner of the Peach Blossom Temple, the first romantic talent in Jiangnan, etc. This is recorded in history. Tang Yin's personality is wild and uninhibited, but he is unique in painting. The first half of this sentence coincides with Brother Xing. Look at the words "Brother Xing" on the bridge, spread out and swing forward, wild and uninhibited. Nothing wrong at all, ha! Let's start with his poems, saying that the four talented people in Jiangnan on the bridge are poetic and picturesque, and each said, "A flock of geese at the foot of the mountain booed them into the river. I fell into the river to catch a goose and was hungry. After eating, I went home to play with my wife. " Great, I admire you. After I praised it, I turned around and threw up all over the floor. Of course, it was just a joke, and then it was true. In the evening, at Chou-heung's house, Tang Bohu faced her censure and spit out a sentence: The fallen petal intentionally follows the flowing water, and the flowing water has no love for it. This is really a blend of scenes, and I am very sad. The origin of this poem is unknown, but this sentence once appeared in the passage of Liang Zhu's play Visiting Friends (Legend of Ming Dynasty). Then Chou-heung remembered the elegance of Tang Bohu and sang a song: Taohuawu Taohuaan, Peach Blossom Fairy under Taohuaan. Peach Fairy cultivates peach trees, picks them and drinks them. This poem is Tang Bohu's original, which is from his Peach Blossom Garden. There is a leisurely air in the poem, which floats out. It is not a hollow reputation to think that he is the owner of the Peach Blossom Temple. After Chou-heung left, Bohu went out and sang a song for himself: others laughed at me too crazy, and I laughed at others and couldn't stand it. There is no tomb of Wuling heroes, no flowers, no wine and no hoe. Good poetry, good poetry, make Chou-heung intoxicated. This poem is sharp and wild, worthy of Tang's bold personality. It is also a song from the Peach Blossom Temple, which is the last four sentences.

Fourth: Go back to the martial arts costume and say "Fang Shiyu". The film has a fresh style and gorgeous martial arts. With Jet Li and Xiao Fangfang in the hands of Yuan Kui, their career has reached a new height. Of course, there are poems, beautiful poems. When a poem comes out, no one can stop it: "how beautiful she is, open the pearl window and sit with a frown." You can see the bright tears on her cheeks now, but isn't it the man she loves so painfully? " Master Fang used it to coax Miao Cuihua, Fang Dayu used it to coax Mrs. Lei, and used it to coax Lei Tingting. Who wrote it? It turned out to be Li Taibai's "Complaints", which is really well written and deserves to be the first quatrain of MM in one thousand. There is also a song, which is also very famous. One day, Xiaoyu was in the study, pretending to read, reading "I woke up in this spring morning with a relaxed mood and flowers." But now I think of that night, that storm, I don't know how many flowers I folded. "This song is very familiar, and it is a compulsory course for primary schools-Meng Haoran's" Spring Dawn ",which is catchy and memorable.

Five: So, the first film is a sequel to Fang Shiyu II, who is fighting in the front. At the beginning, Shiyu worked hard. Before the cover version of "Only Mom is Good in the World", it was a cover version of another poem. "Friend, I have been watching you go down the mountain, and I didn't close my thatched door until now. The grass turns green again in spring. Is Shiyu back? " The meaning of missing, the deep affection between mother and son, overflowed and acted out. The original source of this poem is Wang Wei's "Farewell", and the last sentence is "But my friend Prince, what about you? ? "It is more in line with the artistic conception to change it to" Shiyu returns ". In fact, it can also be changed to something else, such as "no trace, no return", and so on. Anyway, whoever you want can write it. Here, I've been thinking that this little boy still owes me a meal, so I miss him very much. No other meaning, hehe! And when Miao Cuihua was at home, apart from the last sentence, "There is a bright moonlight in the sky, will there already be frost?" Miao said to the next sentence, "Looking up, I found it was moonlight, and then sinking, and I suddenly remembered home. "It's still Li Bai's poem" Thinking about a Quiet Night ". Although a word is missing, it still shows that this poem is very popular and no poem can stop it. Later, when Chen Jialuo asked Fang Shiyu to go to Hanako for a brocade box, he wrote a love letter saying, "The pigeons in Guanguan are in Hezhou." . A beautiful and virtuous woman is a good spouse of a gentleman. I can't wait to toss and turn. Signature: Fang Shiyu, the prodigal son in love. It's really a first-class classic love letter. This poem has a long history, and it comes from The Book of Songs, National Style and Guan Ju written by Confucius. I really can't accept it! Shit, next time I write a love letter with this song!

Six: Jianghu. Finally, talk about Jianghu. The legendary swordsman, Tsui Hark's martial arts world, is the world I am most addicted to. "Ask all heroes, who doesn't want the legendary swordsman?" There is an air of hunting at the beginning of the first sentence. This is not an ancient poem, but it is more poetic. In the Lins' dyehouse, Ling Huchong flashed his sword and floated out of Huashan Jianfa all the way. "I will be the peak of Ling, and I will see the mountains alone. The wind swept away the fallen leaves and I don't know how many flowers were folded. The sword counts the sky, and the dead tree is old. Come to the poor place, turn around and move again. Raise your hand and ask for heaven. " Even the sword moves have a strong ancient meaning. The first of these sentences comes from Du Fu's poem "Looking at Yue" and a poem praising Dongyue (Mount Tai). The original sentence is "once you climb to the top of the mountain and peek, you will see that other mountains look short under the sky ..." The second sentence is Meng Haoran's "Spring Dawn". "But now I think of that night, that storm, I don't know how many flowers I have folded." Other estimates are made up by Tsui Hark himself. Several poems together show the elegance and agility of Huashan swordsmanship, which is very appropriate. "The sea laughs, and the surging tide on both sides of the strait, with the ups and downs of the waves, only remembers today. Laugh, there is tide in the world. Who wins and who loses, who knows. Jiangshan laughs, misty rain is far away. The waves are exhausted, and the world of mortals is so charming! Laughter in the breeze causes loneliness, leaving pride in the evening. Laugh, no longer lonely, lofty sentiments still exist, and laugh silly. " Although this is a lyric, it is a poem, written by David Henry Hwang, which echoes the atmosphere of Jianghu.

Seven: Jianghu remains the same, but there is another Dong Fangbubai competing for the world. Dong Fangbubai showed her magic by the river, and the storm was coming. She showed her baby. "Sunflower in hand, Jiangshan I have!" Full of heroism, she is full of ambition in the rivers and lakes. Ling Huchong and Young wanted to leave the Jianghu, and they lived in the wilderness. Yue Lingshan reflected the swaying bonfire, drew his sword and plunged into the earth grave opposite the white horse. "Riding a sword and dancing in the rain, white bones fly like tits, and the world is like a hipster, only sighing for a few people in the rivers and lakes." A few people answered and could only sigh. Ling Huchong broke into the Chamber of Secrets at night and took an unknown woman across the mountains. At the top of the mountain with a cold wind, she tilted her neck, took a sip of Jianghu wine, and sang a song with a faint flute, "I am born in the world, and I will die when I enter the rivers and lakes." In the laughter of the emperor, it is impossible to lead a drunken life. "Maybe no one can quit the Jianghu in this heart. The above three poems have no source, but they have a kind of Jianghu charm, which must have been written by Tsui Hark. Later, Dong Fangbubai made great achievements and prepared to unify the whole country. In her secret room, she hugged her concubine and thought, "There are so many beauties in Jiangshan, and there are countless heroes! "Ambition, irresistible, but a cavity ambition, finally can't escape a" love word ". This poem is also very famous, from Mao Zedong's "Spring and Snow in Qinyuan".

Eight: How many ambitions have gone with the wind, and Dong Can still can't let go of "A Storm"? ! Many years later, at the seaside, in front of Changfeng Gu, she took off her mask and her hair floated freely. "The world is full of love for white hair, and the world has no intention of vicissitudes." Love or not, no one can escape time. Returning to the Jianghu is actually just an excuse, and the lingering loneliness is the real nightmare. At the Miao people's sacrificial ceremony, they sang: "The heavens and the earth are endless, the stars shine, and the sun rises in the east, but I am unbeaten." However, I would like to ask the heroes in the world, who can really be unbeaten! ? These two poems have no source, and it is estimated that Tsui Hark has them.

Nine: desert sandstorm, "New Longmen Inn", swords and shadows, love and hate, not rivers and lakes! Jin Xiangyu, a woman who has experienced the ups and downs of Jianghu. She is affectionate and righteous, and dares to say and do. The name may come from an old saying: eyes don't know gold and jade. A connotative name, a complicated woman, whose real origin is unknown. When Jin Xiangyu sang "Song of Candles" on the roof, Zhou Huai 'an appeared. When he heard her name, the evaluation was "resplendent in gold and jade, exquisite in jade". Looking to the future, he once again claimed that "it rains in Longmen Mountain, and the full moon tiger goes down the mountain." People are in rivers and lakes, only the fate of rivers and lakes. There is no source for these two sentences. It is estimated that Tsui Hark wrote them himself. Awesome, I admire Tsui Hark for so long. His understanding of rivers and lakes really won my heart, and even his poems were drunk with rivers and lakes.

However, in my opinion, this classic in the costume new martial arts film, if accompanied by a song, is really seamless and unparalleled. This is Ma Zhiyuan's "Tianjingsha Qiu Si", one of the four outstanding figures in Yuan Dynasty: a dead vine and a dark crow, a small bridge and a flowing family, and a thin horse on an ancient road. When the sun sets, heartbroken people are at the end of the world.
