The lake is sparkling, and the moonlight permeates the lake from the sky, like a layer of frost on the lake. It is not time to dye this inch of moss white, but my inner sadness. I hope one day I can look at the moon and you alone. If I can be a pair of mandarin ducks in this world, I will be a fairy, and I don't envy it.
This poem has no source, but it refers to the poem "Poems of Qing Xiang in White-Forget It". The writer should be Jizhi Ruan, the screenwriter of Ghost Story, or Tsui Hark, the producer, because this poem is the first painting in Ghost Story, directed by Tsui Hark. The original text should be: "Shiliping Lake is full of frost, and every grass and tree is sad. Looking at the moon, I only envy the mandarin duck but not the fairy. "

Appreciation of works:
As the theme song of the movie Ghost Story, this song, written by James J.S.Wong, gives full play to the characteristics of the classical style. The streams in the forest are gurgling, and the piano flute sounds one after another upstairs, and Leslie Cheung's singing is just right, which can be said to have achieved the artistic conception of melodious melody and distant meaning.
The reason why Ghost Story is so popular in Chinese music is not only Leslie Cheung's affectionate interpretation, but also David Henry Hwang's lyrics and songs. This song is very popular because of the combination of Leslie Cheung and David Henry Hwang?
The Cantonese version of ghost stories has an ethereal feeling. At first, the music will remind people of Joey Wong's white dress, wandering in the dark, and her frustrations and misfortunes, all of which are shown in Leslie Cheung's songs. The long interlude is very picturesque. When everything returned to the main theme, we seemed to see Xiao Gan's look back and her tearful eyes.
The author of Ghost Story is James Wong Kar-wai, and his works show the deep foundation of James Wong Kar-wai's classical poetry. He integrated the fatalism theme of oriental classical into the melody atmosphere with a slight Yin Qi, which made a commercial ghost film have a deeper connotation because of such an enduring song.
And Leslie Cheung's magnetic alto also fully presents the historical accumulation in this work. In fact, the greatest success of this work lies in its unique insight beyond the theme of talking ghosts. To this day, this song should be a classic example of "Chinese style" mode.
