It is said that before composing the lyrics of Blue and White Porcelain, vincent fang had a talk with some friends who like to appreciate antiques. It was this seemingly unrelated conversation that triggered his creative inspiration. They talked about bronze, Song porcelain, Ming and Qing furniture and so on, and this conversation "triggered my motivation to use those Chinese works of art handed down from ancient times as song titles" (vincent fang). At first, vincent fang wanted to use "Bronze Ware" as the title of the song, but when he savored this song composed by Jay Chou, "so much so that my mind was full of pictures of misty rain in the south of the Yangtze River", he felt inappropriate. Later, I wanted to take "Ru Kiln" as the topic, and I felt that the name was not beautiful enough except that its characteristics were not suitable for lingering love. After several twists and turns, the title of the song was finally decided to use the "blue and white porcelain" which is both beautiful and implicit.
A song "Blue and White Porcelain" has inadvertently aroused many China people's Jiangnan complex. Jiangnan-is not a geographical term, but the habitat of China literati's recluse spirit. Throughout history, the Chinese nation has been harassed by neighboring ethnic minorities for a long time, and wars have never stopped. In the late Western Jin Dynasty, due to the invasion of northern nationalities, Si Marui moved to the east of Zhenjiang, and at the same time, a large number of northern refugees migrated to the south of the Yangtze River, forming a southward migration frenzy. After the demise of the Western Jin Dynasty, Si Marui proclaimed himself emperor in Jianye (now Nanjing) and established the Eastern Jin Dynasty. In addition, before Zhuge Liang pacified the southwest and Sun Quan developed Lingnan, the Jiangnan generation was relatively peaceful. Since then, several dynasties have been partial to the south of the Yangtze River, and although they have experienced the chaos of the wall, they have experienced unprecedented prosperity in the cultural history. No matter calligraphy, poetry, Buddhism and painting, there has been an unprecedented situation, so a number of pioneering masters have appeared in many fields, such as Ci, Song and Fu, which has become a certain source of China culture. Since the Eastern Jin Dynasty, Jiangnan, with its light smoke and fresh water, has become a haunting place for countless China literati because it is far away from the war-torn north, its winding mountains and rivers, pleasant climate, abundant products, peaceful families, and lithe and graceful Jiangnan women, and it has become a spiritual dream that can never be pursued.
here, this Jiangnan complex is once again materialized into a fresh and distant musical image-blue and white porcelain, with lingering lyrics and three sighs. Blue and white porcelain itself is the precipitation of history. Only the coexistence of beauty and fragility makes people feel pity; Because of its peerless craftsmanship, in its azure glaze, the misty rain in the south of the Yangtze River is blurred; Because it is expensive in the emperor's house, it has a prosperous dream that has long since disappeared. If only these, it is still not enough to constitute the dream of Jiangnan for modern people. So in the misty and rainy vision, a woman from the south of the Yangtze River, delicate and graceful and Tingting, came leisurely, looming, wanting to say goodbye, and only by smiling can she arouse people's infinite reverie. At this point, blue-and-white porcelain and the picture of a lady echo each other, forming a perfect artistic conception, quiet, hazy, close but far away, emitting a disconcerting beauty. Time has passed, and the youth has gone. How many charms, charms and charms have gone with the flowing water to the east, dusty in a smoke-like dream, like a rainbow looming on the horizon at dusk, looming, as if it were near and far away. Facing the fading beauty of this industry, pursuing the prosperity of the past and revisiting those tender moments that have already disappeared, how can it not make people feel sad and sigh?
"The sky is blue and I'm waiting for you", which is vincent fang's amazing stroke. In the process of collecting writing materials, vincent fang happened to see a phrase "The sky is blue and the clouds are broken, so this color will make the future", which triggered his writing inspiration, so he flatly wrote down the first sentence of the chorus "The sky is blue and misty rain", which blended the two images of "the sky is blue" and "misty rain", and quietly integrated blue and white porcelain with the misty rain. It is said that blue-and-white porcelain can only show a peerless azure when it comes out of the kiln, only when it meets the weather of four clouds. Therefore, it can be seen how precious "misty rain" is to "azure". This peerless azure has no choice but to wait patiently in the porcelain kiln and wait for a misty weather. This is just like the love that makes people shake their hearts, which can be met but not sought. As a result, the theme of "waiting" was once again rendered heartily.
naturally, vincent fang soon wrote the second sentence of the chorus, "And I'm waiting for you". Since then, accompanied by this graceful Jiangnan woman, vincent fang has composed a beautiful love song, following the misty and rainy glaze. Blue and white porcelain is a play, a painting and a story. This is a sentimental love drama, a sad story about waiting. So there is a girl's "initial makeup", "worry" and "a captivating smile"; "The sky is blue and I am waiting for you", and in the long years, "I" silently and persistently waited for the girl in my dream; "Smoke from kitchen chimneys rises thousands of miles across the river". In the beautiful south of the Yangtze River, "I" finally met her unexpectedly. "I passed by the small town in the south of the Yangtze River and provoked you". The word "provoked" was clear and faint, but how many twists and turns and graceful stories were told. It was light and interesting. Since ancient times, all sad love stories have only one ending-"You were hidden from the depths of ink". In the lover's heart, there is only a hazy shadow, "such as the blue and white porcelain handed down from generation to generation, beautiful by itself" and "your eyes are smiling" forever.
Huang Xiaoliang, a grass-roots music, commented, "In terms of artistic conception, Blue and White Porcelain is like a misty and rainy landscape of ink and wash in the south of the Yangtze River, and the white dresses and nepotism of Iraqis are faintly visible between the water clouds; In terms of words and expressions, Blue and White Porcelain is a simple-hearted note written at the end of the pen, which twists and turns only because the heart is like a double screen with a Qian Qian knot in it; On the tune, Blue and White Porcelain is like a mountain spring flowing quietly on a stone in the breeze, which is clear, bright and winding. These three things are superimposed in one place, and the song "Blue and White Porcelain" is just like its name, just like the best celadon of "self-care beauty", which washes away the lead, is simple and elegant, fresh and smooth. "
this is an elegant and refined pop music, adhering to the musical characteristics of "Chinese style", with typical Chinese folk music instruments such as dulcimer, guzheng and bamboo flute. The lyrics are permeated with the beauty of Song poetry, with a long artistic conception, which integrates poetry, painting and music into one, elegant and plain, moist as water, embodying classical feelings and pushing its charm to a climax.
With the help of the rich and appropriate meaning of "blue and white porcelain", this song renders parting more tactfully and delicately. Listening to this song, it seems that on a misty and rainy day, walking along the west lake with an oil-paper umbrella, overlooking the continuous green hills around, tenderness and ancient meaning come one after another ...
