China has a long history and colorful culture. Since the Spring and Autumn Period, The Book of Songs has been leading the way, followed by Tang poetry, Song ci, Yuan Qu and Ma Pingchuan, creating three eras. Since then, we have added a lot of catchy poems and songs. For example, Li Bai's Thoughts on a Quiet Night: so bright a gleam on the foot of my bed, could there have been a frost already?. I raise my head to gaze at the moon, Lowering my head, my nostalgia comes around. It can be said that it is sung through the ages; There is also Su Dongpo's "Niannujiao Red Cliff Nostalgia": river of no return, a romantic figure through the ages. Only this sentence, eternal heroism, jumped out.
As we all know, there are many kinds of Hong Kong movies, among which the martial arts movies in ancient costume are the most characteristic of China. Sword and shadow, be immersed in love, picturesque, how many heroes at one time. Jianghu, what is Jianghu? Everyone has his own answer. Since the background of costume films is in ancient times, it is natural to have poems set off. Now, I will talk about the poems that appeared in Hong Kong movies.
1. The first thing I talked about was Ghost Story. It is said that Ning Caichen returned to Lanruo Temple the next night and wanted to drive away the wild wolves in the forest with three lanterns. In order to be brave, he read a poem aloud: "I don't see you, how the Yellow River's waters move out of heaven, entering the ocean, never to return. Have you noticed, how lovely locks in bright mirrors in high chambers, though silken-black at morning, have changed by night to snow. Oh, let a man of spirit venture where he pleases ... "Good poem, which ends with Li Taibai's" Coming into Wine ",is like a rainbow, with a wave of thousands of miles. A song is not finished, next to Xiaoqian a captivating smile. There is another poem. It is in a wild shop that Ning Caichen and Xiaoqian are trying to escape from their clutches. It is late at night. He unfolds her picture scroll and writes a poem beside it: Ten miles of Pinghu is covered with frost, and every inch of moss is sad about the Chinese New Year. Look at the moon and protect each other, only envy the mandarin duck and not the fairy. Poetry is a good poem, and affection is affectionate. This poem has no original source, and the general idea is to refer to the poem "Thoughts on Poems of Qing Xiang in White", but it is more in line with the artistic conception of this film after the reform. The author of this poem should be the screenwriter: Jizhi Ruan or the producer: Tsui Hark.
two: Then came Gambler II: The Gambler on the Beach. You may wonder, why is it a modern film? Will there be poems here? The answer is: yes. Well, every gang has its own organization and its own secret code, also called incision, to distinguish one's own from others. For example, the "Heavenly King Covers the Earth Tiger, Baota Town River Demon" in "Taking Tiger Mountain Outward" is a well-known example. In this movie, the situation is the same. It is said that one day, there was a scuffle in the streets of Shanghai beach, and dozens of people hacked. The situation was critical. At this time, our handsome brother Xing and his extremely petty uncle appeared on the scene, and suddenly one of them wanted to sign the code with brother Xing: so bright a gleam on the foot of my bed, could there have been a frost already?. Lifting myself to look, I found that it was moonlight, what's the next sentence? Brother Xing answered without thinking: sinking back again, I thought suddenly of home. He proudly thought: it's too simple, but I got more than 6 points in my primary school Chinese exam! Ha ha! Theoretically speaking, from the academic point of view, Brother Xing is right. Unfortunately, this is a triad society, not to mention theory and academics. The man announced the answer: it should be-the bridge breaks water and flows backwards! Shit, I blurted out the word with Brother Xing, and it was like this! From this point of view, it can also explain a truth, that is, the cultural level of the underworld in Shanghai is much higher than that of the bandits in Northeast China, and even the code words are so cultural. This is Li Bai's "Silent Night Thinking" which has been told for thousands of years, ladies and gentlemen!
three: since we're talking about Brother Xing, let's have another one, "Tang Bohu Light Chou-heung". Tang Bohu was born in the sixth year of Chenghua, Ming Xianzong, at Yinyue Yinri Yinshi, hence the name Tang Yin, and also named Tang Bohu because he belongs to a tiger. Tang Yin was extremely clever, and he painted Shuang Jie in poetry, ranking first among the four gifted scholars in the south of the Yangtze River, and was an idol worshipped by men, women and children at that time. This is what the movie said; Tang Yin's word "Bohu", even more word "fear", was the owner of the Peach Blossom Temple, the first romantic wit in Jiangnan, etc. This is recorded in history. Tang Yin's personality is wild and uninhibited, but he is unique in painting. The first half of this sentence coincides with Brother Xing. Look at the words Brother Xing on the bridge, arrayed, swinging forward, wild and uninhibited. It is not wrong, ha! Let's talk about his poems, saying that the four talented people in Jiangnan on the bridge were poetic, and each said, "A flock of geese at the foot of the mountain booed them into the river. Falling into the river to catch geese is hungry, and after eating, I will go home to play with my wife. " Awesome, I admire you. After I praised it, I turned around and threw up all over the floor. Of course, this is just a joke, and then it's true. At night, in Chou-heung's house, Tang Bohu faced her censure and spit out a sentence: The fallen petal intentionally follows the flowing water, and the flowing water has no heart to love the fallen petal. It' s really a blend of scenes and feelings, and I' m sad. The origin of this poem is unknown, but this sentence once appeared in the paragraph "Visiting Friends (Legend of Ming Dynasty)" in Liang Zhu's drama. Then Chou-heung remembered Tang Bohu's elegant demeanor and sang a song: Peach Blossom Temple in Taohuawu, Peach Blossom Fairy under Taohuaan. Peach Blossom Fairy breeds peach trees and picks them for drinks. This poem is really Tang Bohu's original, which comes from his Song of the Peach Blossom Temple. There is a leisurely air in the poem, and it floats out. It is not a hollow reputation to think that he is the owner of the Peach Blossom Temple. After Chou-heung, Bohu went out and sang a song to himself: Others laughed at me because I was too crazy, and I laughed at others because I couldn't see it. No Wuling hero's tomb, no flowers, no wine, no hoes. Good poem, good poem, makes Chou-heung drunk. This poem is sharp and wild, worthy of Tang's uninhibited personality. It is also from the Song of the Peach Blossom Temple, which is the last four sentences.
four: Go back to the martial arts costume and say "Fang Shiyu". This film is fresh in style and gorgeous in martial arts. With Jet Li and Xiao Fangfang in Yuan Kui's hands, their careers have reached new heights. Of course, there are poems, beautiful poems. When a poem comes out, no one can stop it: "how beautiful she looks, opening the pearly casement, sit in a frown. You may see the tears now, bright on her cheek, but not the man she so bitterly loves? " Master Fang used it to coax Miao Cuihua, Fang Dayu used it to coax Mrs. Lei, and Fang Shiyu used it to coax Tingting Lei. Who wrote it? It turned out to be Li Taibai's "Complaints", which was really good, and it was worthy of being the first quatrain of MM in one thousand. There is also a song, which is also very famous. One day, the jade is in the study, pretending to read, and reading it is "I awake light-hearted this morning of spring, the source of the bird." But now I remember the night, the storm, and I wonder how many blossoms were broken. " This song is very familiar, and it is a compulsory course for primary schools-Meng Haoran's "Spring Dawn", which is catchy and endless.
five: next, the sequel "Fang Shiyu II: Who and Who?" is on the list. At the beginning, Shiyu galloped, and before the cover version of "Only Mom is Good in the World", it was a cover version of another poem, "friend, I have watched you down the mountain, till now in the dark I close my thatch door. Grasses return again green in the spring, is Shiyu coming back? " The meaning of missing, the affection between mother and son is deep, overflowing and acting out. The original source of this poem is Wang Wei's "Farewell", and the last sentence is "but O my Prince of Friends, do you??" It is more in line with the artistic conception to change it to "Shiyu returns" here. In fact, it can also be changed to something else, such as "no trace, no return", and so on. Anyway, whoever you want can write it up. Here, I have been thinking that this boy without trace still owes me a meal, so I miss him. There is no other meaning, hehe! Also, when Miao Cuihua was at home, except for the last sentence, "There is a bright moonlight in the sky, could there have been a frost already?." Miao said to the next sentence, "lifting myself to look, I found that it was moonlight, sinking back again, I thought suddenly of home." It's still Li Bai's poem "Thinking about a Quiet Night". Although it's missing a word, it still shows that this poem has spread widely and no poem can stop it. Later, when Chen Jialuo asked Fang Shiyu to go to Hanako to ask for the brocade box, he wrote a love letter saying, "Guan Guan's dove is in the river continent.". The beautiful and virtuous woman is a good spouse of a gentleman. I can't wait to toss and turn. Signature: Fang Shiyu, the prodigal son in love. It's really a first-class classic love letter. This poem has a long history and comes from Confucius' The Book of Songs, National Style and Guan Ju. I really can't accept it! Shit, I'll write a love letter with this song next time!
six: Jianghu. Finally, it's time to talk about Jianghu. the legendary swordsman, Tsui Hark's martial arts world, is the world I am most addicted to. "Ask the heroes of the world, who doesn't want the legendary swordsman?" At the beginning of the first sentence, there is a breath of hunting. This is not an ancient poem, but it is more poetic. In the Lins' dyeing room, Ling Huchong displayed his sword and floated out of Huashan Jianfa all the way. "I will be the peak of Ling, and I will see the mountains alone. The wind swept the leaves, and I wonder how many blossoms were broken. The sword counts the sky, and the dead tree is old. Come to the poor place, turn around and make another move. Raise your hand and ask for heaven. "Even the sword moves have a dense ancient meaning. The first sentence of these words comes from Du Fu's poem" Looking at Yue "and a poem praising Dongyue (Mount Tai). The original sentence is" once climbing to the top of the peek, one would see, the other mountains all appear dwarfs under the sky.. " The second sentence is Meng Haoran's "Spring Dawn" "but now I remember the night, the storm, and I wonder how many blossoms were broken." Other estimates are tsui hark's own creation. A few poems together show the elegance and lightness of Huashan swordsmanship, which is very appropriate. "The sea laugh, surging tide on both sides, ups and downs with the waves, only remember today. Heaven laughs, and there are tides in the world. Who wins and who loses, God knows. Jiangshan laughs, misty rain is far away. The waves are exhausted, and the world of mortals is so charming! The breeze laughs, causing loneliness, and there is a piece of pride left in the evening. Laugh, no longer lonely, lofty sentiments are still there, and laugh foolishly. " Although this is a lyric, it is a poem, written by James J.S.Wong, which echoes the atmosphere in the Jianghu.
Seven: It's still the Jianghu, but there's another Dong Fangbubai competing for the world. Dong Fangbubai showed her magic power by the river, and the storm was coming. She showed her treasures. "Sunflower is in hand, I have it in Jiangshan!" Full of heroism, she is full of ambition in the Jianghu. Ling Huchong and Younger, who were bent on quitting the rivers and lakes, lived in the wilderness. Yue Lingshan reflected the swaying bonfire and drew his sword and plunged into the earth grave across the white horse. "With a sword riding and waving a ghost rain, the bones are like mountains and birds flying, and the world is like a tide of people, only sighing for a few people in the rivers and lakes." A few people answered, and they could only sigh. Ling Huchong broke into the Chamber of Secrets at night and took an unknown woman through the mountains. At the top of the mountain with a cold wind, she lifted her neck and drank a mouthful of wine from the rivers and lakes, accompanied by a faint flute, and sang a song, "The world is out of my generation, and when I entered the rivers and lakes, I was destroyed." In the laughter of the emperor, it is impossible to get drunk in life. " Maybe no one can quit the Jianghu in this heart. The above three poems have no source, but they have a kind of Jianghu charm, presumably by Tsui Hark. Later, Dong Fangbubai made great achievements and was ready to unify the whole country. In her secret room, she hugged her concubine and thought, saying, "There are so many beauties in Jiangshan that countless heroes are bent over!" Ambition together, irresistible, but unfortunately a cavity ambition, and finally can not escape a "love word." This poem is also well known, from Mao Zedong's "Spring Snow in Qinyuan".
Eight: How much ambition, or gone with the wind, can Dong Fangbubai still "The Storm Rises"? ! Many years later, at the seaside, in front of Changfeng Gu, she tore off the mask, and her hair floated freely. "The world is full of love and white hair, and the world has no intention of vicissitudes." Love or not, no one can escape the time. Returning to the Jianghu is actually just an excuse, and the lingering loneliness is the real nightmare. At the Miao people's sacrifice ceremony, they sang: "The heavens and the earth are endless, the stars are shining, and the sunrise is in the east, but I am unbeaten." However, ask the heroes in the world, who can really be unbeaten! ? These two poems have no source, and it is expected that they are also in the hands of Tsui Hark.
Nine: Sandstorm in the desert, "Xinlongmen Inn", with swords, feelings and enmity, is not a Jianghu! Jin Xiangyu, a woman, has experienced storms in the rivers and lakes. She is affectionate and righteous, and she dares to say and do. The name may come from an old saying: you don't know gold and jade with eyes. A connotative name, a complicated woman, whose real origin is unknown. When Jin Xiangyu sang "Candle Melody" on the roof, Zhou Huai 'an appeared. He heard her name, and the evaluation was "Jin Bi is brilliant and jade is exquisite". Looking at his future, he once again claimed that "it rains on Longmen Mountain, and the full moon tiger goes down the mountain." People in Jianghu only have the fate of Jianghu. These two sentences also have no source, and it is estimated that Tsui Hark wrote them himself. Awesome, I admire Tsui Hark for so long. His understanding of Jianghu really won my heart, and even his poems are drunk with Jianghu.
However, in my opinion, this classic in the new martial arts film with ancient costume, if accompanied by a song, is really seamless and peerless. This is Ma Zhiyuan's "Tianjingsha Qiu Si", one of the four masters of Yuan Qu: a dead vine and a faint crow, a small bridge and a flowing family, an ancient road and a thin horse. When the sun sets, heartbroken people are at the end of the world.
