Poet Wang Guiyan's cross-border work "Taihu Lake is a Lotus"
Text/Birth
This song is the second song in collaboration with Jiangnan music producer Yang Hong, it is his heavy experience of writing lyrics from the poet's cross-border, written with his own poetry inspiration, I have read a lot of his poems, especially the feeling of writing Jiangnan's poems, is a word, beauty. Whether it is the intention of the text or the description of the artistic conception, it is all permeated with the agility of jiangnan smoke and rain, the softness of the water village nong language, the crooked stone bridge, the swaying boat, the oily water and grass, and the wet Jiangnan. Many poets say that his poetic style is beautiful and simple, the words are ethereal and elegant, and the glance printed on the Taihu Stone is all between his writings. Reading his poems is easy to bring people's emotional thoughts into this wet Jiangnan, especially those gray brick daiwa rain alleys, the charm under those oil-paper umbrellas, making people think of it... "Taihu Lake is a lotus / Open in the hazy Jiangnan of smoke and rain / Open into a purple jade ink rhyme of the incense / Open into a qipao Delicate Golden Lotus ..." The opening layout is a soft picture, this is the unique scenery of Jiangnan, smoke and rain, qipao, oil paper umbrella, incense, three inch golden lotus This series of symbols, followed by: ... "Wu Nong's soft language wets your dreams / The small bridge flows tenderly between the cities / / That smiley face / Polyester in Jiangnan Hanwa Qin brick / That tragic and joyful strange fate / Hanging on the cape and wearing rain on the tip of the sail / / ..." This context and rhythm, coupled with the singer's affectionate interpretation, suppressed and frustrated, like a melodious, refreshing, making the lyrics appear more thick, let people listen to the swinging intestines.
If the lyrics of "Jiangnan Water Town" are about Jiangnan women facing the distance of space in a different place, missing their hometown and missing their relatives in the middle of the night, they are helpless and tearful. Singing the passage of time, the nostalgia and youthful memories of a lifetime are loaded into the heart that is no longer young. Then this song "Taihu Lake is a Lotus" is the unique feeling of foreigners stationed in Jiangnan to work and live, and to read the smoke and rain of Taihu Lake and the humanistic feelings of Jiangnan. Look again at "... The love of singing and harmonizing flows between the hairs waiting for you / The entanglement of that lifetime / The face full of happiness in this life / / Ah Taihu Ah Jiangnan / Ah Taihu Ah Jiangnan / / ... ..." This paragraph is even more heavily described the characteristics of the new era, love, life, and the happiness index of the rich land of Jiangnan, these moods are between the songs and words. In the end, Mr. Guiyan used the poetic finishing touch to deepen the lyrics even more "... Taihu Lake is a lotus / Open in the hazy Jiangnan of smoke and rain / The oil-paper umbrella that folds the heart / The broken steps are smoked / The flowers are like a lotus / The opening of the wet Jiangnan... Make the whole song lyrics more beautiful, the picture is clean and neat, the sound is undulating, from "Taihu Beauty" to the present, the poet Mr. Guiyan's word is undoubtedly a good song in the current era, using the image of Taihu Lake to express the unique charm of Jiangnan.

"Taihu Lake is a Lotus"
Text/Nishimura
From a cross-border work by the poet Wang Guiyan, he wrote about Taihu Lake with Jiangnan as the background, and sang the praises of Jiangnan with Taihu Lake as the artistic conception. With a unique perspective and a distinct personality, Taihu Lake is regarded as a lotus flower, which blooms in the hazy Jiangnan of smoke and rain, and opens into the thick culture of Jiangnan. Many years ago, a "Taihu Lake Beauty" was popular all over the motherland, so that the author has been lingering in the heart, many years later he went to Wuxi to live and work, wrote a lot of popular Jiangnan poetry, widely recited in the folk. Therefore, the poetry and passion hidden in the depths of the years were suddenly awakened by wonderful associations and metaphors, which undoubtedly opened the latest path of creation and made the song "Taihu Lake is a Lotus", a song with the width of the mood and the thickness of the thought, stand out. Therefore, is it possible to say that the breadth of the artistic conception and the thickness of the thought can often directly reflect the pattern and height of a person? Writing smoke and rain, writing nature, writing all the way pear blossom with rain, in essence, or the lyricism of people, is the two-way search and interaction between people and nature, and finally presents the writing of all the way pear blossom with rain, in essence, or the lyricism of people, is the two-way search and interaction between man and nature, and the final presentation is the humanization or humanization of nature. I hope that "Taihu Lake is a Lotus" can bring a beautiful enjoyment to the audience.

In the morning, sitting in the clear sunshine, I lit the song "Taihu Lake is a Lotus" created by the famous poet Wang Guiyan, and the eight-year-old sister of Jin Suo stood next to it, calling out good sounds and not leaving for a long time. I knew that this song could transcend time and space.
In fact, this song "Taihu Lake is a Lotus", from the lyrics to the song, Guiyan has been sending me for a long time, and I really did not have the desire to open it. It's not that I don't like songs, but I have a certain prejudice against a poet to write lyrics. I think this is a dimensionality reduction blow, more or less with a sense of play. The word "poetry" has been handed down from the ancients, dancing, dancing, and singing! Since the Book of Poetry, since Tang poetry, Song Ci, and Yuan Xiaoling, poetry and song have been conjoined babies in vocabulary. The poets of the ancients often sang and sang in poetry, and the piano was harmonious. To this day, it is difficult to say the exact definition of poetry and song. And I think that poetry and song, or poetry and lyrics, have a very clear distance. Especially after the May Fourth New Culture Movement, after experiencing the integration of overseas poetry and the prosperity of modern and postmodern Chinese poetry in the past eighty years, poetry has been separated from the term "poetry" and has a deeper connotation and independent communication.
Many good poems no longer need to be expressed in a song way, and it is also very difficult to sing. In a sense, poetry, than lyrics, is more spiritually thick and independently appealing. It can give people an eternal touch in a completely silent reading. The lyrics are different, they are more straightforward, more superficial, and generally do not appear in our lives alone. It is the art of creating a three-dimensional interaction that requires the song and the singer, and it is the art of three-dimensional interaction. If it is expressed in the image of Liantang, the usual song is closer to the spring and summer of Liantang, Ye He Tiantian, Lian He Fei, and LiJing Saimu. Good poetry, on the other hand, is closer to the autumn and winter of Liantang, where all appearances tend to wither, and the world enters the depths of the heart, like silk like a lotus, and thoughts sink to the bottom of the water, intertwined under the soil.
Following the "Beauty of Taihu Lake" that influenced the whole country that year, "Taihu Lake is a Lotus" is undoubtedly another representative work of singing Taihu Lake under the contemporary aesthetic conception. Its success lies in the richer artistic techniques of contemporary "poetry" and its return to "song". This is the poet Guiyan's affectionate return to Taihu Lake. This song writes the beautiful table of Taihu Lake to the bone.

Taihu Lake's a Lotus
Open in the smoke and rain hazy Gangnam
Blooming in the drizzly South
Fragrant stones that bloom into purple jade ink rhymes
Like a purple fragrant ink-slab
A delicate golden lotus blooming into a cheongsam
Like a coy lass wearing a cheongsam
Wu Nong's soft words wet your dreams
Th' Southern dialect, wetting your pining in dream
Small bridges flowing water tenderness between the cities
Little bridges 'n running water link the cities
That smiling face
Her looks of every twinkle and smile
Polyester in Jiangnan Hanwa Qin bricks
Cleansing Han tiles 'n Qin bricks in the South
That tragic and joyful fate
Legends of sorrow and joy
Hang on the tip of the mantle to wear the rain
On the sail against breeze and drizzle
Taihu Lake's s a Lotus
Open into an oil-paper umbrella with Dai Wangshu
Like DAI Wangshu's oil-paper brolly
Kaicheng Liang zhu hua butterfly's thoughts
Like the love story of Liang and Zhu
Maple Bridge Night Berth who can board your boat
Mooring near the Maple bridge, who can board at night
Erquan Yingyue was worried about the shore that came and went
An urheen tune played on the sullen banks
That singing and one harmony
Concern for you sung in chorus
Flowing between the strands of hair waiting for you
Flowing among the hairs waiting for you
That lifetime of entanglement
The lingering love as long as you live
A face filled with happiness in this life
Permeating your smiling face this life
Ah Taihu Oh Gangnam
Ah Taihu Ah the South
Cleansing Han tiles 'n Qin bricks of the South
Flowing among th' hairs waiting for you
Taihu lake's a Lotus
That oil-paper umbrella that folds the heart
The umbrella enfolding worry
Broken steps produce smoke
Her short steps
The flowers are like lotuses
Each's a lotus
Open all over the wet Gangnam
Blooming in the soggy South
