Do Sun Yanzi's "Green Light" coincide with Verne's adventure novel? 丨 Night asked

Answer: A/D.

On 1 January 1892, two scientists, Martin Blunder and Otto Báchin, arrived in northern Norway. The next day, Brundell began photographing the Aurora Borealis, and his first surviving photograph of the Aurora Borealis (the first ever) was taken on January 5, 1892. Modern physics has a detailed description of the principle of aurora production, the aurora on Earth is due to the phenomenon of charged high-energy particles from the magnetosphere and solar wind being guided into the Earth's atmosphere by the geomagnetic field and colliding with atoms in the upper atmosphere (thermosphere). High in the sky near the north and south poles of the earth, the brilliant and beautiful light that appears at night is the aurora.

Humans have been observing the aurora since thousands of years ago, and in 1619, Galileo coined the term "aurora borealis" after Aurora, the goddess of dawn in Roman mythology. Therefore, Zhang Shaohan's "Aurora" is about Aurora from the title. Coupled with the description of the lyrics "Mysterious Arctic Circle, Mountain Peaks of Alaska", "Magic Northern Lights, Fantastic Prophecy", "Red, Orange, Yellow, Green, Blue, Colorful Aurora", it is even more certain that this song describes the beauty of the Northern Lights.

Karen Mok's Cantonese song "Northern Lights" is also about the Aurora, and its Chinese version is more familiar to everyone, that is, the song "Fruit of Midsummer". The location of the song can be determined from the lyrics of "Northern Lights" lyrics "There is a shore where I lean at the end of the polar land", and the lyrics tell the process of constantly pursuing the aurora, which is as elusive as love.

Many people say that Sun Yanzi's song "Green Light" is about the aurora, but it is more likely to talk about another astronomical phenomenon - green light often occurs at sunset, which requires many conditions, including high visibility and no clouds near the sea surface. The protagonist of the novelist Jules Verne's novel "Green Light" is obsessed with the "legend of green light" - the magic of this green light is that all people who see green light will not do anything wrong emotionally, because it will destroy all lies and fantasies, and those who are fortunate enough to see it will see not only their own hearts, but also the hearts of others. The form of green light is described in the book as follows:

Have you ever observed the sun setting over sea level? Yes, it is possible to see it. So, have you ever watched it until the sun wheel is about to disappear completely? No doubt, you may have observed it this way. So, when the sky clears up, do you notice what happens just as this glowing object radiates its last rays? Definitely not, no. Well, when you have the opportunity to make this observation later—certainly not a lot—you will find that what catches you in the eye is not the red light that people often call it, but the "green light", which is an incredible green, a color that the painter cannot tune out; in nature, neither plants nor any water quality is the same color! Maybe it's a green in heaven, no doubt, a true green that represents hope.

This legend makes the protagonist of the novel, Miss Campbell, want to see the green light, otherwise she will never get married. The lyrics of Sun Yanzi's "Green Light" "True love will not end" and "Love will always be by your side" coincide with the plot of the novel. At the end of the novel, when the green light really appears, Miss Campbell's eyes are not fixed on the spectacle, her eyes are full of the man who has gone through the adventure with her and has taken her to heart, and so has the other person.

"But, in fact, my dear," said Oliver, "we don't see the green light we so desperately want to see!" "That's because we see better." The young wife (Miss Campbell) whispered, "We even see happiness itself—doesn't the legend say that happiness and green light are linked?" ...... Dear Oliver, we have found happiness, and that is enough, leave the green light to those who have not yet tasted happiness and are looking forward to happiness to pursue! ”

Sun Yanzi's other song " Backlight " song, as its name suggests, describes feelings like walking against the light.
