The song "Fishing Song" was finally completed, and after many years of cooperation with Yang Yuying, her interpretation still gave me too many surprises.
She was chosen because of her innate classical temperament, and I believe this song is none other than hers.
The four young singers of Qidao Music, Chen Tongen, Xu Jiaying, Xie Jiaqi and Zhang Ziqi, participated in the singing of the children's voice part of the song, and it is their pride and a lifetime honor to have the opportunity to cooperate with the goddess in their hearts.
Thanks to Gao Xiang's arrangement and recording, the guqin, guitar and strings render a light and elegant landscape with endless charm. He is from Huzhou, which is a coincidence.
The word "Fishing Songzi" was composed by Zhang Zhihe in Huzhou, Zhejiang Province, the word is known as "the last song of the ages", and is recognized as the ancestor of the "Fisherman Father" theme poetry, and the Japanese cultural circles obsessed with Zen culture list it as the "first word of the Tang Dynasty" (the "first poem of the Tang Dynasty" in their minds is Zhang Ji's "Fengqiao Night Berth", and the song with this poem as the theme, I have written "The Sound of the Waves").
There are five original works, which is the first of them, and it is also the one with the greatest spread and influence, the most beautiful and the most light-hearted.
"Egrets fly in front of Mount Cissé, peach blossoms flowing water mandarin fish fat. Green straw, green coat, oblique wind and drizzle do not have to return. ”
General comments have suggested that the song expresses the lyricist's love for nature and his yearning for a secluded life.
The fisherman in the word is essentially a projection of the heart and spirit of the lyricist, and on the surface it is written about the fisherman, but in fact it is a metaphor for himself.
So, what is the significance of expanding this word and writing it into a song today?
Returning to nature is an eternal topic. But if we are still just indulging in the beauty of nature and the leisure of the fisherman in the words, it is not enough.
I added two paragraphs.
"The old man on the river, sitting firmly at the stern of the boat. Day after day, fishing for mountains and water. Do you have any troubles? Have you ever been tired? A pot of ordinary heart, brewing a lifetime of drunkenness! ”
This is a question and concern for the fisherman's father, and I try to explore his seemingly unfazed inner world and real living environment, and use the "ordinary mind" to make the answer of contemporary people.
"This mountain and river, a smoke and rain go and go back." This thousand-heavy mountain, thousand-heavy water, thousand-year-old fishing song will sing you so beautifully. ”
This is the sublimation of the artistic conception of this song, and the excellent beauty and humanistic picture are passing through a thousand mountains and rivers and historical clouds from this "thousand-year-old fishing song", which makes people intoxicated to this day.
Songs must always be related to the present to be meaningful, otherwise, they will become ancient and modern translations.
Times are always changing, especially in today's world economy with drastic changes and the epidemic is still raging, people in anxiety and impetuosity, will undoubtedly pursue a kind of peace of mind, will pay more attention to how to get rid of troubles and fatigue with a positive attitude towards life.
Maybe we won't be a transcendent fisherman, but that doesn't mean we can't go to nature in search of a brief or even momentary spiritual comfort and tranquility.
This is not an escape from the world, nor is it a retreat, but just a search for a new way of life, a new value of life.
We will not go back to the past, nor will we be able to live in the beautiful illusions of the past.
The fisherman father in "Fishing Song" has become a kind of spiritual sustenance for us at present, a kind of poetry and yearning that has been unchanged in our national blood for thousands of years.
I think that's the logic that this song still celebrates to this day.
That's why I wrote this song. (For more news, please pay attention to Yangcheng Pie pai.ycwb.com)
