Appraisal of Excellent Works●Black and White

Singer Chen Hong once sang a widely circulated song "Little Peach Red", a very beautiful and Jiangnan song: Another year of spring has come Early in the morning, catkins are flying all over the sky, the warm breeze is blowing, the peach blossoms are red, and the elm money is strung on the tips——

Chen Hong is most suitable for singing Jiangnan folk songs, she herself is the little peach red style of southern folk songs A beautiful woman, pretty, charming, petite and exquisite. The beauties in Jiangnan are all little taohongs. Su Xiaoxiao or Dong Xiaowan in ancient times, and Zhou Xun or Dong Jie in modern times, are so beautiful that people feel heartbroken. In Ming and Qing embroidery novels, many infatuated women were often named Xiao Taohong. I think Xiao Taohong may have been used to describe the gentleness and softness of girls at first. Xiao Taohong - a small peach blossom by the water. Red, this looks so cute and beautiful. These three most Jiangnan and most classical words should belong to southern melodies such as Huangmeixi Opera, the willow bank of West Lake or the awning boat on Jianhu Lake. It makes you have to remember some Guan Zinan. Old anecdotes, such as red sleeves adding fragrance, or beauties having a bad fate.

Many ancient romantic literati used "Little Peach Red" as lyrics to sing about the love of men and women in the boudoir, with the Yuan Dynasty songs being the most popular: After the apricot blossoms bloomed, it never cleared up, which ruined the interest of tourists, and the red snow Flying over the path, I asked the spring orioles, who were speechless and the wind was unsteady. In my memory, peach red is the color of weddings. The colors of spring couplets and window grilles are closer to the countryside and folk. Some old-style country girls, With eyebrows as crooked as the moon and eyes as bright as water, she started making dowries under the bamboo fence at the age of fifteen or sixteen - knitting aprons, sewing insoles, and embroidering purses. The colors were green and peach, and the sun was just right when the peach blossoms were in full bloom. Between vulgarity and elegance, the flower season was covered. The pink color stands out beautifully. "Little Taohong" lyrics are most common in Yue Diao and Cantonese opera, and they mostly sing about female workers picking tea, lotus and mulberry. I have seen many songs named after "Little Taohong": Lotus Pickers and Lotus Pickers. Orchid boats pass by outside the willows, no matter what the dreams of the mandarin ducks are shattered, or what the night is like - the land of Wuyue is full of dynamic landscapes, beauties, talented people and poems. The Yue tune "Little Peach Red" is most suitable for this place. As for the Cantonese opera in the South of the South, "Little Taohong" is the most representative one. It is similar to the Guangdong music we are usually familiar with, "Autumn Water Beauty", "Butterfly Among the Flowers", "Colorful Clouds Chasing the Moon", "Rain Beats the Plantains" It's the same category. Cantonese opera has a lively and bright side, which is actually consistent with the style of peach blossoms. A branch of peach blossom may be a bit deserted, but thousands of branches form a sea of ??flowers, which is what we usually call splendor - there is actually a lively and lively part in the little peach blossom. youth and life.
