A good friend shared a link two days ago.
She said that she had just fallen in love with a program.
That link promoted a new CCTV program called "Classic chanting".
Several poems are introduced in the link. Or professional or amateur musicians, composing and writing lyrics for ancient poetry.
Ancient poetry seems to shake off the dust of history and become catchy pop music.
Actually, it sounds good.
Two songs touched me deeply.
One is "Mo Mei" sung by Sitar tan, which is based on a poem written by Wang Mian, a poet in the Yuan Dynasty.
The other is called "Moss", which is selected from the poem of Yuan Mei, a poet in Qing Dynasty. The main creators of this song are teacher Liang Jun and his students.
The previous song "Mo Mei" was magnificent.
Sing hope after a song "Moss".
The first is calm, and the second is self-confidence.
Whether elegant or ordinary, they are all in full bloom.

About 20 years ago, Faye Wong covered Teresa Teng's Water Tune.
In the music MV, Faye Wong is dressed in ancient costume, just like a fairy on earth, and the picture is very beautiful.
When I was in middle school, whenever there was a classical Chinese exam, whenever I got the word Su Shi, I would be secretly glad because I was too familiar with it. While writing down the answers on the test paper, I silently hummed the melody of Faye Wong's Mink Head.
This sentence has long been printed in my mind, and the melody of the song is deeply engraved in my voice.

Whether it is Mo Mei or Moss, the combination of poetry and music deeply touched me.
It's late at night, the child is asleep, and the dim bedside lamp sets off the immature face.
I leaned back in bed, plugged in headphones, and chose the single loop mode to make the melody of the song linger in my ears.
I couldn't help crying when I heard the climax of the music.
Mr. Wang silently handed the tissue and stopped bothering me.
The next morning, I just woke up and couldn't help turning on Mo Mei. The melody of that song echoed in the room.
My daughter woke up and chewed my face.
When Sang Song "don't praise its good color, leaving only the dry Kun in the air", her daughter sang along: "... clear sky ... dry Kun".

The poetry conference of CCTV once set off a poetry craze. I admire those people who have folk poems beyond memory.
In addition to extraordinary memory, poets' keen interest in poetry is also the internal driving force that drives them to remember more ancient poems.
When reciting ancient poems, I incorporated my own emotions, which must have "opened" the sensory channels of my body.
Look, listen, taste, touch and smell. The sensory channels of the five senses are linked with the memory organization of the brain, thus deepening memory. We should not only "remember" with our brains, but also mobilize our body's feelings to "remember".
I admire the master of poetry in the "Poetry Conference" program, but I can't mobilize the memory of my brain and deliberately remember too many ancient poems.
Interest = familiarity+liking.
Classical Chant opened my sensory channel-hearing. Music awakened my ears, made me familiar with melody, liked poetry and was more interested in classics.
I am interested because I am full of emotions.
I remember that I was a primary school student when I first heard the song "Water Tune". When I learned the word Su Shi in middle school, I could recite it easily before the teacher arranged the recitation requirements. Because I am familiar with it, because I like it, because I used to hum when I was a child.
Songs adapted from ancient poems are very suitable for "grinding ears". By "grinding ears", not only the memory of poetry is enhanced, but also the auditory channel is mobilized and the appreciation level of ancient Chinese is improved.
I wrote an article a year ago. I took part in an adult painting class. Before that, I haven't picked up a brush for a long time. I felt happy at that moment when I opened my visual channel. Eyes that have been silent for a long time are nourished by graphics and colors.
I once put a profound label on myself: "I can't draw". Unexpectedly, in that painting class, I was able to paint casually and enjoy myself.
Vision, like hearing, once it is really turned on, the brain will spontaneously feel the beauty of artistic conception in poetry, as if it had synaesthesia and vaguely felt the poet's emotion.
When this emotion accumulated to the peak, it naturally shed tears.
Combining ancient poetry with modern pop music is catchy, and I can easily remember melodies and poems, which is an unexpected gain after "opening" the auditory channel.
By hearing and emphasizing the color of memory, the impression left in the mind will be deeper and longer.

In the next 20 years, my children will still like these sung classics.
Even if the words change and the language changes, the friendship conveyed in poetry will never change.
May the classic chant spread.
