In ancient times, poetry and song were a whole.
Poetry is equivalent to lyrics, and songs are equivalent to music.
Literati write poems for singing.
Tang poetry, Song ci, Yuanqu
It's all singing
The poems in The Book of Songs used to be sung orally.
Someone just arranged what they sang.
Now some lyrics are written like poems.
Just return to the essence of the song.
But unfortunately,
Most of the so-called pop songs in China
Writing in the name of fashion is really vulgar and even obscene.
If the ancients saw that their poems diagnosed as art were so spoiled by people now, I'm afraid they would die unsatisfied.
PS- I haven't listened to China's songs for many years, and I really can't stand those lyrics.
Mice love rice in the Spring Festival Evening, and I knew that China's music was hopeless.
