The Beijing Winter Olympics is over, and there is a memorial service at the closing ceremony, which we will never forget for a long time, because that is the romance we in China understand.
At the beginning of this link, the beautiful girl walked leisurely to the ground screen, dragged out wicker branches under her feet, and a weeping willow picture appeared on the screen. The breeze blew and catkins danced on the screen. More actors holding glowing wicker walked slowly to the middle in farewell music, and countless green lights rose like monuments.
It is said that the keynote is poetic expression of memory, and the director group finally found the expression of "folding willow". They first prepared to let their children read the lyrics of Farewell, but later revised them, hoping to find a poem about willow feelings from the Book of Songs and poems of past dynasties, forming an emotional expression that spans the times.
But in the end, because I was worried that foreign audiences would find it difficult to understand, I decided to go back to the basics and let the audience think for themselves.
However, it would be a pity if we China people were just moved by a visual feast. If you have ever read some poems about folding willows, at that moment, you will certainly feel the poetry of thousands of years, such as the spring breeze blowing through willow branches, nourishing people's pen tips and condensing into the cultural heritage of China.
The farewell poem of broken willow first appeared in the Song of Broken Willow in Han Yuefu, but it was not until the Tang Dynasty that the custom of farewell of broken willow reached its peak. The Tang Dynasty was the heyday of poetry.
Farewell is originally one of the four themes of "there are otaku in the countryside, cynicism in the frontier, and sadness in the past, and basic feelings in farewell". Coupled with the serious participation of poets in the Tang Dynasty, no one wants to write flatly, so that the matter of breaking willows appears in many ways in Tang poetry.
What is the bridge of feelings except for feelings that have never happened before? From then on, it was renamed "Folding Willow", which made him hate every article.
Willow branches, willow branches, "let him hate every one", you are bound to "a gust of wind, bring willow cotton, make the shop more fragrant", you travel through the spring of thousands of years, you can be seen in Tang poetry, and you witness the world in a poem.
