Who is the original singer of the farewell song? Which year's song?

Li Shutong is Master Hongyi who became a monk in Hupao Spring, Hangzhou in 1918. This "Farewell" song was unknown to almost everyone in the intellectual circles before liberation, and it was even more widely known among the Jiangnan generation. Over the past few decades, thousands of college, secondary and junior college students have sung this song to bid farewell to their alma mater. , teachers, going to society. Because of this, it has been cited by many Chinese and foreign films, and some have also been used as the theme songs of films, such as "Early Spring in February" and the Japanese film "Ah, Wild Wheat Ridge!" "; "Old Things in the South of the City", which won the International Golden Eagle Award in the 1980s, used Li Shutong's "Farewell" as the theme song. It added infinite poetic charm to the film "Old Things in the South of the City". Why does such a simple short song have such great charm, almost no time limit, and infecting generations of people? This is a question worth studying. First of all, when the author created this lyric, he drew on, learned from, and inherited the essence of our country's traditional culture, and learned from it to reach a higher level. If you pay attention, you will find that Li Shutong was influenced by "The Romance of the West Chamber" and "Farewell at the Long Pavilion" in the creation of this song, both in terms of words and sentences, and in terms of artistic conception. We might as well quote the relevant passages from "The Romance of the West Chamber" as follows: [Main Palace] [Upright and Right] The sky is blue, the ground is yellow, and the west wind is strong. Northern geese fly south. Who will be drunk in the forest at dawn? Always left in tears. [Rolling the Hydrangea Ball] Hateful meeting is too late, resentment returns quickly. The willow silk is so long that it is difficult to tie it to the jade, and I wish it could catch the slanting light in the sparse forest. The horses walked along gracefully and the carriages followed quickly, but they said they were missing each other to avoid them, and they left early again. Hearing the sound of the Tao, he went away and loosened his golden bracelet. Looking at the long pavilion ten miles away, he lost his jade skin: Who knows this hatred? [Quiet on all sides] In an instant, the cups and plates are in a mess, the car is turning east, the horse is heading west, the two minds are wandering, and the setting sun is green. Do you know where he will stay tonight? It’s hard to find even in dreams. Si Sha] To whom should I complain of this sorrow? I only know myself when I love you, but God doesn’t care if I am haggard. Tears add to the nine bends of the Yellow River and overflow, and hatred overwhelms the three peaks of Huayue. In the evening, I leaned against the west tower and saw some sunsets on the ancient road and the long embankment of declining willow trees. [Three evil spirits] come to one place smiling and moaning, and return alone crying. If you go home and go to Luohu, last night the embroidered quilt was fragrant and warm to stay in spring, but tonight the green quilt is cold and you will know it in your dreams. Don't miss you unintentionally. When I see you, I can't help but shed tears and frown. [Yisha] The green mountains separated us, the sparse forest was not beautiful, and the light smoke and dusk covered each other. There is no one talking on the ancient road at sunset, and the autumn wind listens to the neighing of horses. Why am I too lazy to get into the car? I was in a hurry when I arrived, but how late will it be when I leave? [Ending] Amidst the surrounding mountains, the remaining light of a whip shines. The troubles in the world are filling my mind. How can these big and small cars afford it? As long as you make a little comparison, you can find many similarities between the two. It’s just that Li’s lyrics elevate and expand the content of lovers’ separation in “The West Chamber” to the farewell emotions of students bidding farewell to their friends, teachers, and alma mater, and then extend it to thoughts on life, nature, the universe, and time. Didn’t we say that we should inherit traditional culture? This is a typical inheritance! The second point, and the most important point, is that the author abandons political preaching in his creation, and instead firmly grasps human nature to make a fuss. Politics is limited by time and class, and cannot be as eternal as human nature. "The one who is in ecstasy can only say goodbye." The ancients made a fuss about this "farewell" and even wrote a special "Farewell". This is not surprising at all, because this "farewell" is something that humans often encounter. Something that touches the most sensitive emotions of human beings and stirs the most sensitive nerves of human nature. Through this "farewell", people tend to think about many important issues between life and time, time and space, man and nature, man and man, the eternity of the universe and the transience of life, the changes of the times and the changes of human emotions. The sense of human vicissitudes evoked by scars is unforgettable. If literary and artistic works can accurately reflect the characteristics and requirements of human nature at this time, they will become immortal works. This is the main reason for the success of Li Shutong's "Farewell". From this, I thought of some poems I usually see on the Internet. One of their fundamental flaws is that they "forcibly express sorrow in order to compose new lyrics." In order to make their poems have a strong political nature, it appears that the author is "concerned about the country and the people. ", often forcibly adding political color to his poems, thus turning his poems into "slogans" in another situation, dry and without any vitality. Literature is not politics, and generally speaking, writers are not politicians. If you don’t understand politics and insist on talking about politics, you will inevitably end up with nondescript works.

Another situation is that the author is deeply influenced by modern critics and wants to be a "bold" poet like Xin Qiji, but he does not have the life practice of blood and fire like other great poets, so he relies on wine. Meng, use this to talk big, they think that this way, they will be "bold" and different from ordinary literati, but they do not know that they have just violated a taboo in creation. The most common feature of these works is that there is no image, no plot, and no artistic conception. I thought it was good when I first read it, but I have no impression after reading it. Apart from "big" and "crazy", you can't get anything else from such works. , are all the same, as if they were "machine poems" written by computer programs. In such works, the essential attribute of human beings, human nature, is almost completely eliminated. How can it move people? The letter said that the more hidden the author's political motivations are, the better. The writer's position is expressed through true representation of life. It can be seen that Marxism has always opposed "slogan"-style literature. If it is false, the life of literature will be over. Even the propaganda of revolutionaries cannot be false. Once the propaganda becomes "propaganda", the propaganda will lose its practical meaning. All can move people's hearts, because at that time it must tell the truth and people will understand it as soon as they hear it; when propaganda becomes "official language" that people don't understand and is getting further and further away from the requirements of human nature, at this time, whether it is literature or Propaganda is nothing more than "talking to oneself". My friend gave me Li Shutong's "Farewell" and I was very moved. I wrote the above words as a small reference for myself and my friends.
