"Where the sun rises, there are Chinese, and where there are Chinese, there is Liang Zhu."
This is a love story that has been filmed and televisioned the most
The film "Liang Shanbo and Zhu Yingtai" (1964).
Film "Liang Zhu" 1994
TV series "Young Liang Zhu" 2000
Animated film Butterfly Dream, Liang Shanbo and Zhu Yingtai, 2004
The legend of Liang Zhu can be traced back to the Ningbo region of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, and the earliest written material is found in the Song Dynasty Zhang Jin's "Qiandao Siming Tujing" quoted in the "Ten Paths and Four Hundred Records" of the early Tang Dynasty Liang. The story of "Liang Zhu" has basically taken shape, but it has not yet ended with a butterfly.
After the Tang Dynasty, after the continuous processing and enrichment of folk artists, such a classic legend that has been passed down through the ages has been deduced. Until the emergence of operas, songbooks and folk songs in the Ming and Qing dynasties, it eventually became a complete story of the "butterfly version".
Today, our memories of Liang Zhu are figuratively linked to a tune that appears whenever any art form tells this poignant story:
58 years ago, China's first violin concerto, Liang Zhu, premiered in Shanghai and has since become the most famous violin piece ever made in China.
On May 27, 1959, Shanghai Lyceum Theater, "Liang Zhu" premiered, Yu Lina violin solo
This is a highly dramatic creation, fully restoring this well-known story and the lingering emotions in the story.
From acquaintance, acquaintance, love, to the long pavilion separation, yin and yang separated, and finally into a dream, this scene is accompanied by the ups and downs of the melody in the brain.

The arranger compares the cello to Liang Shanbo and the violin to Zhu Yingtai, and the harmony of the two melodies tells this story of a thousand turns and a thousand times, touching and profound.
Many people may not know the composers of this violin concerto: Chen Gang and He Zhanhao.
58 years ago, Chen Gang and He Zhanhao, who were still music students, one 24 years old and one 26 years old, submitted the "counting" work, but it resounded throughout China.
It can be said that the success of "Liang Zhu" is due to the melody of He Zhanhao and the harmony of Chen Gang, which are indispensable.

In the late 1970s, Nishizaki Takako's "Liang Zhu" performance recording interpreted another kind of beauty, and her control of the sound melody can be said to make "Liang Zhu" take a step towards the world stage.

Since then, whether it is a weak-crowned piano child or an eighty-year-old woman, whether it is a folk music adaptation or an opera performance, it has been interpreted again and again.....
Classics are not afraid of the years, and they are not afraid to compare with the "cultural fast food" of the moment!
