Let us accompany his song,
Get on the time train,
Let's reminisce about the creative career of this old naughty boy in music.
01
In 1930, Zuo Hongyuan was born in Wuhu, Anhui.
In those war-torn times, people were panicked and could not read at all.
Zuo Hongyuan was very naughty when he was a child, and liked fresh things.
One day, there was a drama team in the village, and the children in it could sing Peking Opera and somersaults.
This aroused Great Interest from Zuo Hongyuan.
He slipped away to learn to sing with the children,
So in the future creative career,
Peking opera singing has become one of the important elements of his composition.
In 1949, Zuo Hongyuan came to Taiwan and began his musical life.
By chance,
He met Zhang Yue'e, a teacher who teaches music.
Teacher Zhang treated him like a younger brother,
Give him some taiwanese local style music,
He was also taught to play an instrument.
In a foreign land, Zuo Hongyuan saw that other people's children were favored,
So his first job was to write more than a hundred nursery rhymes.
"Outing" and "Snails and Yellow Orioles" have been sung to this day.
After arriving in Taiwan, Mr. Zuo Hongyuan also lived in the village of the Ami ethnic group in the high mountains for nearly two years.

Therefore, he created songs with aboriginal flavors such as "Nanova Love Song", "I want to tell you", "Where does the wind come from", etc.
He made a great contribution to the folk song movement.
With a wealth of life experience, Zuo Hongyuan's song styles are also diverse.
He gave himself a stage name called "Gu Yue",
Together, it's a "Hu" character.
He once laughed at himself, "I like to make music."
Zuo Hongyuan graduated from the Orthodox Music Department in 1956.
He has created more than 2,000 songs,
With his love of music and bold innovation,
Formed their own creative characteristics.
He is good at adding Elements of Taiwanese Folk Songs when composing music,
Like to use the traditional Chinese five-tone scale,
It is full of special minor charms.
In the large number of works, but the first fine,
What a master!

Taiwanese music scene in the 1960s,
The creation of music lags far behind the development of singers,
Most of the local singers have gone overseas to develop.
At that time, Japanese music was popular,
Most of the singers cover Japanese songs and imitate old Shanghai songs.
Most young people in Taiwan listen to Western hit songs as their main form of entertainment.
In order to fill the gap of local creation,
Zuo Hongyuan and Zhuang Nu work together,
Together, they created songs and singers that belong to Taiwan.

"Don't Go Home Today" is zuo Hongyuan tailor-made for Yao Surong.
Zuo Hongyuan boldly added Henan Zizi to this song full of modernity,
Unexpectedly, Yao Surong not only successfully transformed,
It also successfully entered the Hong Kong market in one fell swoop and became popular.
Zuo Hongyuan is Teresa Teng's mentor,
Zuo Hongyuan and Teresa Teng's father both liked to sing and comment on dramas, or worship their brothers.
The first time Zuo Hongyuan saw Teresa Teng, he took her as an apprentice.
He also wrote "Jingjing" for her, a song that caused a sensation in Taiwan.
Classic works such as "Sea Rhyme", "Ripples of Water", "Wine and Coffee", "How Can I Leave You", "Where does the wind come from" and other classic works are all from Zuo Hongyuan's hand.
The first sell-out can be said to have pushed Teresa Teng's singing career to the top.
As Teresa Teng opened up overseas markets and began to develop in Japan,
Zuo Hongyuan began to dig up PuYu again, and Feng Feifei became his student.
In the 1970s, Feng Feifei established herself in the song world by singing "I Am a Cloud" written for her by Zuo Hongyuan.
"Moon Hazy Bird Hazy", "A Red Bean", "Marigold", "Running to the Rainbow", each capital is enduring, the movie is red, the song is red, and the phoenix is also red.
In those years, the songs of Qiong Yao's film series were composed by Zuo Hongyuan and sung by Feng Feifei.
The three people have achieved mutual achievements and formed the "iron triangle" that dominates Taiwan's Chinese music scene.
Zuo Hongyuan is not only very accomplished in composition, but also has a vision in understanding people.
He will make the singer into a different style according to the different characteristics of each person.
Qi Qin, Xu Ruyun, and Meng Tingwei were also red in his hand.

In 1998, the TV series "Huan Zhu GeGe" produced by Qiong Yao became a miracle in the history of TV dramas.
For a while, thousands of empty alleys swept through Asia,
The casting of Xiaoyanzi also has the participation of Zuo Hongyuan.
At that time, Li Jiaxin and Li Tingyi were also candidates for Xiaoyanzi.
But after Zuo Hongyuan met Zhao Wei, he praised her as "very talented, and her eyes can speak".
And pushed Zhao Wei to play Xiaoyanzi.
Among them, the song "There is a girl", at that time, the lyrics were too few, and the interlude of music was very long,
Zuo Hongyuan proposed to add "It's okay, quarrel, anyway, awake is awake." It's okay, tell a little lie, anyway idle is idle. ”
According to the folk saying at that time, this confession was called lotus winding and counting noble, which is now popular RAP.
This is also an innovation for Qiong Yao's songs, and Qiong Yao's words are more elegant,
Unexpectedly, after adding it, it played Zhao Wei's strengths,
It has become Zhao Wei's masterpiece.
