I often feel ashamed. I started listening to ice paper from inner peace. But if you think about it carefully, you don't have to feel inferior. After all, the songs made by independent singers are almost impossible to be compromised by the company and put into the album, but the songs you really like. Since he is willing to deliver it himself, what's the shame of my listening? Is a good song no longer a good song after it has been played in Tik Tok for more than a certain number of times? So this "shame" is my own vanity in the final analysis.
When the 20-year-old Hanmu layman first came out, he listened to it once, which can only be described as sobering. I feel that this all-encompassing work is almost equal to the album of the same name he gave to Ice Paper. Later, I saw someone asking how to evaluate Nine Songs of Jinling in Zhihu last year. Then I found that Douban and other platforms had almost no objective evaluation of this album, and there was no corresponding analysis of this album and Nine Songs of Chu, so I wrote this answer in Zhihu. The main reason I want to write is to read some Baidu Encyclopedia and find that the concept of this album is still very reasonable. ...
Note in advance: I am not a music critic, nor a professional Chinese major (most of the content comes from encyclopedia). If there is anything wrong, please tell me. The lyrics quoted are all from Netease Cloud.
According to Baidu Encyclopedia, "Nine Songs" is the title of Chu Ci, which was originally the name of an ancient song in China myths and legends, and was recreated by Qu Yuan, a Chu man in the Warring States Period. "There are 1 1 songs in Nine Songs of Chu Ci, so it just corresponds to 1 1 songs of this album. Jinling is Nanjing, the base camp for free travel. Therefore, this album can also be understood as Weasion Wei quoting Nine Songs of the South to record what happened in Nanjing during this period, especially in the Free-Out brand.
The song 1 1 in Nine Songs of Jinling is basically related to the song 1 1 in Nine Songs of Chu. But at present, I haven't carefully checked the deeper connection between the lyrics and the corresponding words in Chu Ci, so there may be omissions. I also hope that I can add more to what I know.
1. "Orpheus" vs. "Nine Songs, East Emperor Taiyi"
Flying to Macao is also an introduction, and "Emperor Taiyi" in "Nine Songs" is also a relatively short poem describing the sacrificial scene. The last sentence of Fei Ao Men, "worship without existence", may also be related to the sacrificial theme of the Eastern Emperor Taiyi.
2. "Moire" to "Nine Songs in the Cloud"
The two capitals are about clouds.
3. Mochou Lake to Nine Songs to the King
Two capitals describe the thoughts of relatives on the water (or on the lake).
4. "Slip" to "Nine Songs, Mrs. Xiang"
Mrs. Xiang is a companion piece to Xiang Jun, written in the tone of Mrs. Xiang, while Mrs. Xiang was written in the tone of Xiang Jun. At present, I haven't found that there is too much overlap in the theme between "Slip" and "Mrs. Xiang", but "Slip" is obviously more like a male voice than Mochou Lake, and there are some "water" or "water" in "Slip"
5. "7391"vs. "Jiuge Priestess of Death"
739 1 should be the reciprocal of 1937. According to the history of 1937, this song should be more corresponding to Nine Songs of National Mourning. But the content of this song seems to have nothing to do with the history of that year, so I need to know more about it. According to Baidu Encyclopedia, "Priestess of Death" is an image of a god who is "majestic, mysterious, loyal to his duties, supervises people's good and evil, and holds the power of life and death".
6. From "Wasted Capital" to "Nine Songs and Less Life"
Shao Siming is a companion piece of Priestess of Death. Baidu Jiu Ge Encyclopedia says that Shao Siming is the god of children. Besides, "Shao Siming" and "The Wasted Capital" are both light-toned, and they are all said in the tone of characters' confession.
7. "Sunset Warrior" vs "Nine Songs Dong Jun"
Dong Jun is a song that worships the sun, so it corresponds to Sunset. Baidu Encyclopedia said that Dong Jun "not only embodies the beauty of the sun's natural attributes, but also embodies the greatness of human nature." The "samurai" part of this song should be able to correspond to "the greatness of human essential strength"
8. From "Lost Love in the Yangtze River" to "Nine Songs Hebo"
Hebo is the God of the Yellow River (so it corresponds to the Yangtze River), and the nine-song "Hebo" is also interpreted as love, so this song "Lost Love in the Yangtze River" also corresponds well to the nine-song Hebo.
9. "The Top of Zijin" vs. "Nine Songs Shan Gui"
The Purple Mountain in Nanjing corresponds to the "mountain" ghost. As far as the theme is concerned, The Top of Purple Gold also mainly mentions many rapper in Free-Out (such as the trouble of hairless curly hair, which is no stranger to everyone) and some controversial things that happened to them in the past. I have no comment on the rapper's personal life.
10. "Song Zhengqi" versus "Nine Songs of National Mourning"
The two capitals are noble and upright songs or poems. Song Zhengqi's name should come from a poem written by Wen Tianxiang in prison to express his loyalty to the Southern Song Dynasty, and "National Mourning" is just a story about patriotic soldiers, so it corresponds well.
1 1. The influence of Shenpu on Jiuge and ritual soul
At the end of the last outro, the "Ritual Soul" in the corresponding nine songs is a song to send to God. I don't know if I think too much. Wasn't Kanye sampled because he stayed in Nanjing? So this album really tells the story of "Jinling" from beginning to end. (Of course, even if there is no Nanjing factor, for ice paper that also likes to rap in "singing mode", the sample Kanye is normal ...)
In view of so many correspondences, and Bing himself said that this album is a "concept album", I think the connection between "Nine Songs of Jinling" and "Nine Songs of Chu" should not be a coincidence, but should be teacher Bing's own idea. Of course, some of the details may be different from Mr. He's original idea. ...
I believe many workers have also seen that "Cold Wood Layman" is more like the "album of the same name" of ice paper (because ice is cold and paper comes from wood), so it is an all-encompassing album, including all kinds of styles of ice teacher. Personally, I prefer the exquisite Jinling Nine Songs, and I can also find a lot of fun from the correspondence with China's ancient literary works. Personally, I think "Nine Songs of Jinling" is just like "Yeezus" to Kanye's position on ice paper, and it is the one following the "big album". At this time, the author's ideological burden should be a little lighter, so both albums have many interesting arrangement ideas (especially Sunset Warrior and Bundle 2, which are very interesting samples).
Finally, people on Douban are getting harder and harder to set up. It seems that every picture has to be a Kid A and ok computer to satisfy their appetite (dog head).
