Some netizens asked: Which Northern Song Dynasty lyricist's words depict city scenery and Geji's life, and the representative work has "Youth Tour"?
It's a fun, professional, and challenging question.
Talk about the views on this issue, because the question defines the background of the Northern Song Dynasty and the identity of the lyricist, so the scope of the investigation can be condensed from the entire Song Dynasty to the specific era background of the Northern Song Dynasty.
Song Ci is known as "a generation of literature", which is a bright pearl in the treasure house of mainland classical literature that stands side by side with Tang poetry, and the Northern Song Dynasty is a prosperous period of famous and famous words.
First of all, according to the keyword "cityscape" in the question, it is roughly possible to list some of the words: such as Zhang Xian, Liu Yong, Yan Shu, Ouyang Xiu, Mei Yaochen, Yan Jidao, Su Shi, Qin Guan, Huang Tingjian, He Zhu, Chao Shouzhi and other lyricists.
Because the Song Ci exists in the cultural entertainment of the city, all kinds of cultural entertainment in the city can be reflected in the word. The relatively stable atmosphere of the Northern Song Dynasty created an extremely suitable soil for the prevalence of entertainment. Kaifeng, the capital of the Northern Song Dynasty, was a bustling metropolis and the cultural center of the Northern Song Dynasty.
The city of Kaifeng is just like Zhang Zeduan's "Map of the Upper River of the Qingming Dynasty", where the streets are spacious, the streets are bustling with people, and the buildings on both sides of the streets are lined with tea houses, fence tiles, embroidery bead curtains, and willow flowers.
At that time, it was also advocated that scholars and doctors should "accumulate more money, leave their children and grandchildren in the city and the house, and sing and dance girls to live all day long", so under such a cultural atmosphere and environment, the activities of sending love and entertainment, indulging in song and dance, and feasting and traveling were more and more favored and loved by the scholars. This "tall" atmosphere spread rapidly from Kaifeng to other large cities, so the words describing the prosperity of the city also came into being.
Secondly, according to the keyword "Ge Ji life" in the question, the names of the above lyricists can be further selected, so as to lock on the bodies of these lyricists: Liu Yong, Yan Shu, Ouyang Xiu, Yan Jidao, and Qin Guan.
It was a very popular thing for the literati to fill in the lyrics for Ge Ji from the fifth generation to the beginning of the Song Dynasty, such as the five generations of "Huajian Lyricist" Ouyang Jiong wrote in the "Flower Collection And Preface": "There are Qi Yan Gongzi, Rural Princesses, Flower Notes of Leaf Leaves, Wen Shu Li Jin; Lift the Jade Hand of Fiber, And Clap the Champagne." ”
Why is Yan Shu listed in the scope of the investigation? Because Yan Shu did write a lot of "song and prostitute life", according to the lyricist Ye Mengde's "Summer Retreat Record" at the turn of the two Song Dynasties, "Although Yan Yuanxian was rich in his early years, he was extremely simple. But the guests are happy, they do not taste a day without feasting and drinking, and the dishes are not prepared, and the guests are in the whirlpool camp. ”
This record roughly says: Yan Shu likes to drink with friends in his spare time, and there are often singers and guests in the banquet, the host and guest fill in the poems, hand them to the singer to sing, the host and guest drink as much as they want, and the atmosphere of the banquet will be very hi in the song and dance. In addition, Yan Jidao and Qin Guan also wrote many lyrics describing Ge Ji's life, which is related to their life experience.
Finally, according to the representative work "Youth Tour" mentioned in the question, the scope of selection can be further narrowed, and the exclusion method can be used to determine the names of the following three words: Liu Yong, Yan Shu and Yan Jidao.
According to the above three selection criteria, especially the three keywords of "city scenery", "singer and prostitute life", and the representative work "Youth Tour", it can be finally determined that this lyricist is Liu Yong. Because although Yan Shu and Yan Jidao both have works describing "Ge Ji Life" and "Youth Tour", their "Youth Tour" cannot represent their highest level of lyrics, and Yan Shu and Yan Ji Dao have relatively few words describing "city scenery".
After locking down who the lyricist in question is, let's talk about his lyrics describing "cityscapes" and "the life of a singer and a prostitute", as well as his masterpiece "Youth Tour".
Liu Yong left his hometown in his youth until his twilight years before he passed the entrance examination, and in the past twenty years, he has been making various preparations for the scientific examination. His footprints have also traveled to many cities, especially several major cities such as Kaifeng, Ezhou, Yangzhou, and Hangzhou, becoming the city with the longest living time.
And these twenty years is also Liu Yong's prosperous age, the bustling urban life ignited Liu Yong's pursuit of life, the city's lively wealth makes Liu Yong nostalgic, describing the city scenery naturally became a theme in his lyrics.
Liu Yong is an authentic urban lyricist, and his life experiences and literary creations are closely related to the city. Liu Yong's personality is frank and romantic and affectionate, before Dengke, he lingered in the land of song and dance for many years, and during the eunuch period, Liu Yong successively served as the training officer of the Muzhou regiment, the order of Yuhang County, the judge of Sizhou, and finally the tuntian member Wailang Zhishi.
He has been serving at the grassroots level for a long time, and his career path is not smooth, so he drifts around, which greatly broadens the horizons of the lyricists, allows him to have a certain understanding of the folk customs and customs of various places, and provides many fresh themes for filling in the words.
Among Liu Yong's lyrics describing the cityscape, the most well-known and most praised is the song "Looking at the Sea Tide" that describes the cityscape of Hangzhou.
In "Wanghai Tide", "Southeast Shape Victory, Three Wu Metropolis, Qiantang Prosperous since Ancient Times", Liu Yong vividly praised Hangzhou's unique geographical location and economic prosperity with extremely beautiful words; "Smoke Willow Painting Bridge, Wind Curtain Green Curtain, Jagged 100,000 People's Homes", Liu Yong depicted the characteristics and overall layout of Hangzhou's urban architecture from a unique perspective; "City Column Zhujie, Huying Luoqi, Competitive Luxury", is Liu Yong's description of Hangzhou's prosperous commercial activities and the rich life of citizens.
In addition to depicting the cityscape, the lyrics that Yanagi yong focuses on and deliberately describes are his works of "Katsuhime Life". It can be said that describing the city scenery and the life of Ge Ji is the hardcore parameter of Liu Yong's work.
Liu Yong fills in the lyrics for Ge Ji, and it is also his endorsement of Ge Ji's life. Most of these lyrics are taken from a fragment or scene in a woman's life, and are born from this point. Therefore, Liu Yong's words describing Ge Ji's life are free to flow emotionally, and the lyrics are true and natural, which is quite touching to read.
In Liu Yong's song lyrics, a large part of the works vividly depict and portray the beauty of the faces and postures of the singers, and praise and praise their kind and pure qualities, such as "Youth Tour": "Xiang Wei sleeps, hair makeup and wine, red face apricot blossom spring." Jiaoduo loves to fan Qi Qi, and smiles to cover Zhu's lips. The heart is gentle and the taste is elegant. ”
The words describe for us the image of a perfect singer, who has a high-grade feminine beauty and intellectual beauty. She has a light posture, a smiling face, a gentle heart, she is beautiful and noble, and she is clean and self-sufficient.
Liu Yong's Ge Ji is versatile, all have high artistic talent and cultural literacy, some in singing, dancing and some in filling in words, calligraphy each showed superb skills, showing their artistic level and ingenuity.
Willow never hesitated to give affirmation and praise to their talents. He described Ge Ji in "Magnolia": "The heart lady has been able to sing and dance since she was a child. Everything is moving. Xie Jiaotian was ashamed of the slaves, and was not afraid of the jealousy of the flying swallows in his palm. Linglong embroidered fan flower Tibetan language. It is like a cloud lining step. Wang Sunruo planned to give thousands of dollars and only live on the east bank of the painting building. ”
Liu Yong's Ge Ji is pursued, they boldly and persistently pursue love, their hearts are full of melancholy, but they always yearn for beauty. For example, this singer in "Licorice Seed": "There is no companion in the pond with the bar." Nai this, unipolar mood. But the golden cage is parroted. Recite the words of the pink lang".
There is also a song "DingFengbo", which is also written by Liu Yong specifically for the singer. The lyricist gently conveys the love of a lovely singer to her sweetheart, the emotion of the word is really moving, and the protagonist wants to be with the lover all day like a normal couple.
As soon as his lyrics were sung, two distinct reviews were produced: the song became popular among the public and became increasingly popular; but it drew strong condemnation and criticism from scholars, who considered Liu Yong's lyrics vulgar.
"The town follows, Mo throws away, and the needle and thread sit idle with Yi." And me, lest the young people have a waste of time", is a famous sentence in the word, writing out the lyricist and the song ji you nong, I nong, affectionate life picture, but it is because of such words and sentences to the lyricist's career has brought a lot of trouble.
At that time, when Liu Yong was choosing a tune, he once visited the prime minister Yan Shu for this matter, and when Liu Yong was asked if he composed music, Liu Yong said that I, like you, often fill in some lyrics. Who knew that this sentence made Yan Shu extremely unhappy, and he said dismissively: "Although Shu (Yan Shu) composed music, he did not say 'color line lazily sit with Yi'. ”
The lyrics of LiuZi describing the life of Ge Ji, or the love words he wrote for Ge Ji, show the beautiful character, which is the music that can touch the hearts of the masses and reach the hearts of the masses, so this is also the reason why his lyrics can create "where there is well water, that is, the willow words can be sung".
Yanaga's words about Kaohime's life come from the heart of true feelings, he sympathizes with their fate, respects their personality, and treats them equally.
Therefore, he can perceive them from the deepest part of his heart, and can truly describe their beauty, describe their life moments, sincerely sing their talents, delicately portray their inner world, and even boldly and directly express sympathy, understanding, appreciation and admiration for them.
Finally, let's talk about one of Liu Yong's masterpieces, "Youth Tour".
"Youth Tour", Liu Yong filled in two songs, one is "Youth Tour • Jagged Smoke Tree Baling Bridge", which is a poem made by Liu Yong when he roamed Chang'an, and the other is "Young Tour • Chang'an Ancient Road Ma Delay".
And one of Liu Yong's masterpieces is the second one, that is, "Young You Chang'an Ancient Road Ma Delay", the original words are as follows:
The Chang'an Ancient Road is delayed, and the tall willow cicadas are hissing. Outside the sunset birds, on the autumn wind, the eyes are hanging for four days.
Guiyun has gone without a trace, where is the early stage? The fox is strange and the drunkard is Xiao Suo, not like when he was a teenager.
The lyrics describe a picture of a man on a horse slowly marching on the Chang'an Ancient Road, and the autumn cicadas on the willow trees beside the road can't stop hissing. The sunset gradually sinks in the distance, the autumn wind blows strongly on the field, the writer looks far away, the sky is vast, the night falls, the white clouds return, there is no trace in the sky, where to find the expectations of the old days? The interest in the feast has long since faded, and the past drinking friends are also few, and they are no longer the wild and uninhibited teenagers.
This song is a good word that can express Liu Yong's ups and downs in life, and it is also a lyric with high artistic achievements.
