The birth of this song is a major event destined to enter the annals of history in the Chinese music scene.

"East Wind Breaking" is the pinnacle of Chinese style, there is no one, and there will be no more peak Chinese style songs than it for at least ten years in the next ten years.

Which of Jay Chou's fast songs is the most powerful may be too difficult to evaluate (many people will vote for "In the Name of the Father"), but "East Wind Broken" is the first in Jay Chou's slow songs.

With this song alone, Jay Chou is enough to enter the annals of Chinese music history. Of course, someone who can write such a great work will certainly not only write this song.

Just like Su Dongpo, he can not only sing "the great river goes east, the waves are exhausted, and the characters of the ancient winds and currents", but also can issue the sigh of "wanting to make the West Lake more beautiful than the West, and it is always appropriate to wear thick makeup and light makeup".

A good piece of music must be a good mood, melody, and style, and fused into a well-carved god work. What is extremely rare is that "East Wind Broken" has reached an extremely superb level in terms of artistic conception, melody and style.

"Dongfeng Broken" is originally an ancient pipa song, and this song is an antique minor key style, supplemented by the integration of erhu and pipa, a retro style, which makes it easy for people to enter the world and reverie of Tang poetry and Song poetry.

Fang Wenshan wanted to integrate ancient poetry with modern pop music through the idea of ancient poetry into songs, breaking the current model of separating new poetry and lyrics. Under the special management of Fang Wenshan, the lyrics alternate between ancient and modern, and there is a feeling of interlacing time and space, and "East Wind Breaking" is a new term that represents this song.

Jay Chou's "East Wind Broken"

The East Wind breaks

Lyrics: Fang Wenshan Qu: Jay Chou Editor: Lin Mike

A lonely lamp stands alone in the window

I'm behind the door pretending you haven't left yet

The old land is more lonely like revisiting the full moon

The candle flames that were awake in the middle of the night could not bear to scold me

A pot of wandering is difficult to enter the throat

After you leave the wine warm memories miss thin

How the water flows eastward time how to steal

The blossoms ripen once and I miss it

Who is playing a song with a lute to break the east wind

Years peel off on the walls to see when I was a child

I remember that we were all very young

And now the sound of the piano is quiet, and I have not heard you waiting

Maple Leaf dyes the story to the end and I see through it

I lead you through the ancient road outside the fence

In the years of the smoke and grass, even the breakup was silent
