The last time Daolang held a concert was the "Thank You" world tour in 2012. After the tour ended in 2013, he gradually faded out of the public eye and stayed away for more than ten years. Last year, Daolang's new song "Rakshasa Haishi" triggered a frenzy of interpretation and was regarded by netizens as the "divine song" of the year. The song is still lingering today. In August this year, he "returned" to the music circle with an online concert, and hot topics continued to dominate social platforms.

Comparable to a popular idol.
At the same time, hot discussions surrounding Daolang himself continue: his "mentor-disciple relationship" with singer Yun Duo, his work being involved in "unconventional" controversy, the concert video being faked and edited... they are all disturbing and difficult to calm down. In fact, since Daolang became popular all over the country with his album "The First Snow in 2002" 20 years ago, people have not only talked about his music.
"The First Snow in 2002" also includes highly popular works such as "Lover" and "Punishment of Impulse". In the era when ringtones were popular, the original sales of this album reached 2.7 million, and there were countless pirated copies. number.
"It's your red lips that stick to everything about me" "Use your fiery lips to make me endlessly ecstasy in the middle of the night". The rough, naked and straightforward style makes Daolang his own school, but he does not It was not recognized by the mainstream music circle at the time. In the era of high-quality records at the beginning of the millennium, Daolang's vernacular love songs were labeled as "rustic" and "internet songs". Some musicians sharply criticized Daolang for his lack of aesthetics and artistry, which was a sad manifestation of pop music.
After that, Daolang, who was regarded as a grassroots man, left a brilliant and profound mark in the music world, and then left indifferently. After more than ten years of "reclusion", he returned with "Rakshasa Sea" and once again caused a storm. The ups and downs satisfy the public's imagination of "grassroots counterattacks" and "revenge novels".
Those early grievances that were "grave-raked" by netizens became the most watched content in the "Rakshasa Sea" interpretation carnival. Public opinion rose from the interpretation of one song to a huge crusade against other singers. Na Ying's social platform A video comment section flooded with 11.32 million comments, almost all of which were ridiculing. Later, whether it was the hot sales of Daolang's new album or the success of his concerts, fans regarded him as a "victory for the common people."
As a result, Daolang was imagined as an outsider who had been dormant for many years, a "god" who criticized the elite on behalf of the common people.
Especially after the concert tour started, many people took the attention to Daolang to the extreme. On the short video platform, there were "Daolang appeared in the New York Times", "Ten Mile Street welcomes Daolang", "Taylor Swift, Adele and Celine Dion cover Dao Lang’s songs,” “One million people cheer for Dao Lang’s concert,” “Tian Zhen Han Hong is a special guest at Dao Lang’s concert,” and many other fake videos that are deliberately “deified” or overly entertaining. consumption method.
In fact, many of the shots in these fake videos come from the concerts of other well-known singers. Fueled by exaggerated editing by self-media, although they look quite outrageous, they are believed by many middle-aged and elderly fans who lack Internet sense and discernment skills, and they gain high-traffic communication. In the fake video, Daolang is hailed as a "world-class swordsman" whose influence "radiates around the world" and can even "lead the spirit of human civilization."
In addition to the concert, the master-disciple relationship between Daolang and Yun Duo has also continued to arouse heated discussions.Previously, Yunduo confessed at a solo concert: "I, Yunduo, will always be Daolang's apprentice." This move caused dissatisfaction among some Daolang fans, accusing him of "taking advantage of the popularity", and immediately involved a lot of "betrayal of the master" Strange gossip about "betrayal" and "leaving his mentor when he was at his lowest point".
html On October 29, singer Yun Duo's agency issued a statement stating that some Internet users had fabricated and spread false information about Yun Duo (real name: Xie Chunfang). It mentioned that in 2014, Daolang's copyright company proactively proposed that Yunduo develop independently, and both parties terminated the contract amicably. There was no "betrayal of the teacher"; all the songs in Yunduo's commercial performances have signed relevant agreements and have obtained the authorization from the copyright owner. , has never been involved in any copyright disputes, and has refuted the rumors of "Yunduo occupying song copyrights" to lawsuits.Regarding this "mentor-disciple relationship", Daolang's copyright company and tour organizer once issued a statement in response to the controversy, which also mentioned the "amicable termination of the contract by both parties" and the authorization period of copyrighted songs. But under the filter of fans, these responses became a manifestation of the "Sword God"'s dignity, righteousness, and soft-heartedness.
In this "god-making" farce, fans who didn't know the truth cheered, and passers-by's attitude towards Daolang gradually changed from "really fragrant" when he returned last year to questioning "excessive marketing". "Creating gods" is a trap, and often the next step is to "destroy gods."
Beyond the hustle and bustle, what did Daolang himself do? At the end of last year, he announced that he would stop updating social platforms, saying that he still had two or three albums planned and that he would need a lot of time to do field work. Since the concert started this year, in addition to singing on stage, almost all of Daolang's expressions were about music and creation. In the face of ardent fans, they just issued a "proposal" to guide fans to follow order.
If you look back at Daolanghe's works, you will find that he is actually the same down-to-earth musician who is passionate about collecting styles and creating music as he was more than 20 years ago. In the early stage of creation, in addition to those love "divine songs", Daolang has been absorbing the nutrients of national music in the northwest region, sampling many local folk songs, such as "Love Song of the West Sea", "Kashgar Populus euphratica", "Scent of Elaeagnus Flowers" and other songs. There are the rhythms of national musical instruments and the imprint of folk stories.
It can be said that collecting styles has always been Daolang's creative rule, and folk songs have always been Daolang's source of inspiration. This creative habit also lasted until the days when he faded from the public eye. "Tanci Huaben" is based on the traditional folk art of Suzhou, "Tanci", including "Laksha Haishi", "Folk Songs" uses 11 kinds of folk songs from all over the country. tune.
Whether it is his early works or his latest album, we can actually see Daolang's ambition - coming from the land, going to the people, and singing folk songs to new tunes.
For a Daolang like this, people's attention should not only be fixed on those scandals and anecdotes. For fans, they should love the real Dao Lang rather than "believe" in the imaginary "Sword God". After all, there are very few singers who can keep their personality unchanged for more than 20 years and make music steadily.
