In the history of literature, poetry and music are not separated. Especially in the long age, some poems can almost be sung as lyrics. For example, many of Liu Yong's lyrics are given more vitality because of the tune.
Where there is a spring, there are seven poems!
Time came to the end of the Qing Dynasty, when a musician and Buddhist master turned out to be born. He has many labels, such as studying in Japan, such as educator, such as calligrapher, such as musician, etc. But what he is most well-known is his dharma name, Master Hongyi. There is also one of his farewell words, which is full of the pain of farewell and the taste of life.
Li Shutong
His name is Li Shutong. His farewell poem is called "Farewell".
Outside the long pavilion, along the old road, there are green grass and sky. The evening breeze blows the willow flute, and the setting sun goes beyond the mountains.
The ends of the sky, the corners of the earth, and close friends are half scattered. A pot of muddy wine will make you happy, don't dream of cold tonight.
Outside the long pavilion, along the old road, there are green grasses and sky. Ask you when you will come here, and don't linger when you come.
The ends of the sky, the corners of the earth, and close friends are half scattered. Life is rare to be together, only parting. The lyrics of
Li Shutong·Farewell
are quite different from traditional poems, so much so that they are not included on many poetry websites. Because this is not a poem with rhyming, it is not a poem; there is no so-called poem, it is not a poem. However, the connotation of the lyrics of this song is in the same line as that of Chinese classical poetry.
Li Shutong·Farewell
Li Shutong’s life is very complicated, and there are many controversies in his life experience. But its contributions to music, calligraphy and drama are self-evident. And this song "Farewell" was widely circulated in later generations, and many famous movies and TV series adopted this song as an interlude. From the lyrics alone,
has a beautiful farewell mood. It is not much different from traditional ancient poems. In particular, " evening breeze blowing willow flute, sunset mountain outside mountain " in a few words pointed out the farewell environment at that time, and the artistic conception and taste in it clearly showed the shadow of classical poetry.
The evening breeze blows the willow flute, and the sunset beyond the mountain
As a pioneer of modern poetry, Li Shutong accepted European music culture at that time and wrote lyrics according to the tunes of these lyrics. Relying on his profound Chinese studies, his love for traditional culture, and his recognition of Western culture, he perfectly blended the two. It is not easy for him to create a creation that can be recognized by most Chinese.
Outside the long pavilion, along the old road, there are green grass and sky
This is the most beautiful farewell song. Due to the development of various communication tools, although we are still separated from each other today, we have seldom tasted the kind of difference that made the ancients sore. If you want to taste these, I am afraid you can only find it in the poetry.
And Li Shutong’s lyrics can give you this opportunity.
