Most singers in China can sing Li Shutong's Farewell.
19 15, Li Shutong, a teacher of Hangzhou No.1 Normal University.
Wrote this famous farewell speech. It belongs to "School Music Songs" written by Li Shutong in his early years. The so-called "school music songs" refer to a group of ambitious intellectuals in the late Qing Dynasty and early Ming Dynasty, who advocate the great role of music in ideological enlightenment.
It is strongly recommended that music classes be offered in schools. At the same time, some young students studying in Japan filled in new words and created new songs with tunes popular in Japan and Europe and America at that time. In addition, China is often used as the "school song".
Classical poetry fills in new lyrics. Li Shutong's "Farewell" has these distinctive characteristics of "school songs": one is to write lyrics in the style of classical poetry, and the other is to choose American pop tunes for music. Without understanding these backgrounds,
It is inevitable that I will be confused and puzzled by some characteristics of Farewell that are different from modern songs. Writing poems to bid farewell to friends is a basic motif of China's classical poems. Farewell poems are an important part of Tang poetry and Song poetry.
Part. In Li Bai's Farewell to Friends, "I will think of you in the clouds, so think of me in the sunset." Wang Wei: "I advise you to drink a glass of wine, and there is no reason to go to Yangguan in the west." ("Send Yuan Er An Xi") Wang Bo's: "Friends in the sea, neighbors in heaven." ("Farewell to Vice Governor Du to Shu" Wang Changling: "Friends and relatives in Luoyang ask each other, and there is a piece of ice in the jade pot." (Farewell to Xin Jian at Furong Inn) are all famous sentences in farewell poems. As for Bai Juyi's
Farewell to Fude Ancient Caoyuan: The boundless grass on the grassland comes and goes with each season. Wildfire can't burn it out, but the spring breeze can revive it. Weeds and wild flowers are all over the ancient road, and the end of the grass in the sun is your journey. Oh, my friend's prince, you left again, and I heard them sigh behind you. "With the" farewell ",xu.
There are many similarities. The image and language of farewell are basically the inheritance of China's classical farewell poems. Drinking wine in the pavilion, sending ancient roads, breaking willows to bid farewell, waving at sunset and leaving fragrant grass are all farewell poems for thousands of years.
Common images. But Farewell condensed all these images with a short lyric, which strongly shocked the "collective unconsciousness" of China people's parting with a "comprehensive" impact. So, so is farewell.
It has become a cultural and psychological symbol of China people's parting.
Ancient farewell poems were generally written to bid farewell to a friend and were real people. But what is intriguing is that according to the current materials,
Material, also don't Li See's "Farewell to Shu Tong" is addressed to which friend. In my opinion, Farewell is not written to a specific friend, but a symbolic farewell poem, which Kubinashi obviously refers to. Farewell is divided into three paragraphs, the first paragraph is
"Write scenery", write specific farewell scenes outside the pavilion and beside the ancient road; The second paragraph is lyric, expressing the sadness of knowing yourself and yourself and falling into the end of the world; Literally, the third paragraph is a repetition of the first paragraph, but in fact it is not a repetition of words and meanings.
Sublimation: After "seeing friends off", I realized that life is short, like sunset, full of biting cold. The whole lyrics are filled with a strong sense of emptiness in life and a deep hint of epiphany. Anyway, farewell.
In fact, it conveys Li Shutong's consciousness of seeing friends off, feeling life and seeing through the world of mortals with a symbol of nothingness. Therefore, "Farewell" is not just a farewell eulogy among friends; But Li Shutong is about to say goodbye to the world,
A "prelude" to becoming a monk.
