It is said that before writing the lyrics of Blue and White Porcelain, vincent fang chatted with several friends who like to appreciate antiques. It was this seemingly unrelated conversation that inspired his creation. They talked about bronzes, Song porcelain, Ming and Qing furniture and so on, and this conversation "triggered my motivation to use those works of art handed down from China as song titles" (Vincent Fang). Fang Gang initially wanted to use Bronze Ware as the title of the song, but it was inappropriate to savor this song written by Jay Chou, "so that my mind was full of misty rain in the south of the Yangtze River". Later, I wanted to take "Ru Kiln" as the topic. Besides its characteristics, I felt that the name was not beautiful enough. After many twists and turns, I finally decided to use the beautiful and implicit Blue and White Porcelain as the title.
A song "Blue and White Porcelain" inadvertently provoked many China people's Jiangnan complex. Jiangnan is not a geographical term, but the habitat of China literati's reclusive spirit. Throughout history, the Chinese nation has long been invaded by neighboring ethnic minorities, and the war has never stopped. In the late Western Jin Dynasty, due to the invasion of northern nationalities, Si Marui moved to the east of Zhenjiang. At the same time, a large number of northern refugees migrated to the south of the Yangtze River, forming a southward migration frenzy. After the demise of the Western Jin Dynasty, Si Marui proclaimed himself emperor in Jianye (now Nanjing) and established the Eastern Jin Dynasty. In addition, before Zhuge Liang pacified the southwest and Sun Quan developed Lingnan, the Jiangnan generation was relatively peaceful. Since then, several dynasties have been partial to the south of the Yangtze River. Although they experienced the chaos beyond the Great Wall, they all experienced unprecedented prosperity in cultural history. No matter calligraphy, poetry, Buddhism and painting, there has been an unprecedented situation, and a number of pioneering masters have appeared in many fields such as Ci, Song and Fu, which have become a certain source of China culture. Since the Eastern Jin Dynasty, Jiangnan, with its light smoke and fresh water, has become a haunting place for countless China literati because it is far away from the war-torn north, winding mountains and rivers, pleasant climate, abundant products, peaceful families and graceful Jiangnan women, and has become a spiritual dream that can never be pursued.
Here, this Jiangnan complex is once again materialized into a fresh and distant musical image-blue and white porcelain, with lingering lyrics and three sighs. Blue and white porcelain itself is the precipitation of history. Only beauty and fragility coexist, which makes people feel pity; Because of its peerless craftsmanship, in its azure glaze, Jiangnan misty rain is blurred; Because it is expensive in the emperor's house, there is a dream of prosperity that has long since disappeared. If only these, it is still not enough to constitute the dream of Jiangnan of modern people. So in the misty and rainy field of vision, a Jiangnan woman, delicate and graceful, graceful and graceful, came leisurely, looming, wanting to say goodbye, only smiling can arouse people's infinite reverie. At this time, blue-and-white porcelain and the picture of a lady echo each other, forming a perfect artistic conception, quiet, hazy, near and far, emitting a disturbing beauty. Time goes by and youth is gone. How many charms, charms, charms have gone east with the flowing water, dusty in a smoky dream, like a rainbow looming on the horizon at dusk, looming, as close as far away. In the face of the fading beauty of this industry, how can we not make people feel sad and sigh when we pursue the prosperity of the past and relive those warm moments that have long since disappeared?
"The sky is blue, I am waiting for you", which is an amazing stroke by Vincent Fang. In the process of collecting writing materials, Fang Wensen happened to see a sentence "The sky is blue, the clouds are broken, so this color will achieve the future", which aroused his writing inspiration, so he wrote the first sentence of the chorus "The sky is blue, it's misty and rainy" flatly, blending the two images of "the sky is blue" and "it's misty and rainy" into one, quietly blending blue and white porcelain with misty and rainy. It is said that only when blue and white porcelain comes out of the kiln and meets the weather of four clouds can it show peerless blue. So it can be seen how precious misty rain is to Blue. This peerless blue has no choice but to wait patiently in the porcelain kiln for a foggy weather. This is like a heart-pounding love that can be met but not sought. As a result, the theme of "waiting" was once again rendered to the fullest.
Naturally, Vincent Fang quickly wrote the second sentence of the chorus "I am waiting for you". From then on, accompanied by this graceful Jiangnan woman, Fang Wenqing wrote a beautiful love song, following the misty rain. Blue and white porcelain is a play, a painting and a story. This is a sentimental love drama, a sad story about waiting. So there was a girl's "initial makeup", "worry" and "a captivating smile"; "The sky is blue, I am waiting for you". In the long years, "I" silently and persistently waited for the girl in my dream; Smoke from kitchen chimneys rose thousands of miles across the river. In the beautiful south of the Yangtze River, "I" finally met unexpectedly. "I passed by a small town in the south of the Yangtze River and provoked you". The word "provoke" is clear, but how many twists and turns and graceful stories have been told. It's both relaxing and interesting. Since ancient times, all sad love stories have only one ending-"You are hidden in the depths of ink". In the lover's heart, there is always only a dim shadow, "such as blue and white porcelain handed down from generation to generation, beautiful itself" and "your eyes are smiling"
Grass-roots music Huang commented, "On artistic conception, blue-and-white porcelain is like a misty rain landscape in the south of the Yangtze River, and the white skirt and nepotism of Iraqis can be faintly seen between water and clouds;" In terms of words and expressions, blue and white porcelain is a simple note written at the end of the pen, which twists and turns only because the heart is like a double screen with a Qian Qian knot in it; In tune, blue and white porcelain is like a mountain spring flowing quietly on the stone in the breeze, clear and bright, winding. These three things are superimposed in one place, and the song "Blue and White Porcelain" is just like its name, just like the best celadon in "Beauty of Self-Care", washed away with lead, simple and elegant, fresh and smooth. "
This is an elegant and refined pop music, adhering to the musical characteristics of "Chinese style", with typical China national musical instruments such as dulcimer, guzheng and bamboo flute. The lyrics are permeated with the beauty of Song poetry, with a long artistic conception, integrating poetry, painting and music, elegant and simple, moist as water, reflecting classical feelings and pushing its charm to a climax.
With the rich and appropriate meaning of "blue and white porcelain", this song renders parting more tactfully and delicately. Listening to this song is like walking around the West Lake with an oiled paper umbrella on a foggy rainy day, overlooking the continuous green hills around, with tenderness and ancient meaning one after another. ...
