Chapter 470 The Rhythmic Beauty Unique to Ancient Chinese Poetry
This world's dragon kingdom is not without Chinese songs.
However, due to the strong influence of Western culture, the musical style of Chinese songs is entirely the same as that of English songs.
As for the lyrics... they are naturally heavily influenced by Western songs, lacking any of the unique beauty of the Chinese language.
But what truly showcases the beauty of the Chinese language is ancient poetry.
Some ancient poems, even if you don't understand their meaning, can still amaze you just by reciting them in your heart.
This is the unique rhythmic beauty of classical poetry.
Why do many people say that Japanese is the most beautiful language in the world?
Aside from being influenced by Sakura's anime culture, the vowels and consonants in Japanese pronunciation are in a 1:1 ratio, which makes it sound very pleasant.
The tonal patterns (平仄) emphasized in classical Chinese poetry are actually doing just that.
For example, Li Bai's poem "Song of the Moon over Mount Emei".
The moon over Mount Emei in autumn is half-full, its reflection flowing in the Pingqiang River.
[Setting off from Qingxi at night towards the Three Gorges, longing for you but unable to see you, I descend to Yuzhou.]
Even setting aside the poem's imagery, its catchy and highly rhyming rhythm alone evokes a sense of refined beauty.
Unfortunately, the mainstream music in this world is Western music style.
English does not have the concept of "level and oblique tones".
Its only requirement is that it rhymes.
Therefore, musicians around the world focus all their attention on the music and ignore the lyrics.
Let's not even talk about foreigners.
Even the 840 musicians of China have completely forgotten...
The ancient poems of the Dragon Kingdom are beautiful to read, beautiful to appreciate, beautiful to recite, beautiful to write, and even more beautiful to sing.
As mentioned earlier.
Some ancient poems, even setting aside their imagery, are simply stunning in their rhythm.
The lyrics of "Blue and White Porcelain" have this kind of rhythm.
And then there was the beautifully beautiful Chinese folk song that made its debut, serving as a perfect backdrop...
Therefore, even if foreigners cannot understand the lyrics, they can still appreciate the subtle and elegant beauty of the song.
And for the people of China, it goes without saying.
The song "Blue and White Porcelain" elevated the entire concert to a new level.
If what happened before was just a celebration for anime fans and Honkai Impact 3rd players...
And now... this is a grand gala that appeals to both refined and popular tastes.
Parents who had initially come with the intention of simply accompanying their children to see the sights were now deeply moved.
Even some people who were unaware of the situation and accidentally stumbled upon CCTV-6 subconsciously thought it was some kind of holiday today...
After the song ended, all the listeners felt a sense of lingering enjoyment.
I can't get enough of it, I can't get enough of it at all.
Therefore, when Eden said that the next song would still be a song with a Chinese style, countless viewers became extremely excited.
(cgdf)
Even Eden's somewhat ambiguous words were subconsciously ignored by the audience.
……
At this moment, behind the stage.
Kafka, who had finally come to her senses, looked at Mo Li with a complicated expression.
"You used to study classical music from China?"
Mo Li shook his head: "Graduated from an ordinary university"
"I've never heard such a beautiful song before..." After a pause, Jingliu added, "The lyrics and music are both beautiful~"
Despite the two people's praise, Mo Li remained extremely calm.
He was already tired of hearing flattery from Alicia and Eden.
"She's also very beautiful."
Jingliu: "..."
Kafka: “…”
Upon seeing this, Kagami and Kafka exchanged a glance instinctively.
This man, apart from being a bit of a womanizer, is practically a perfect man without any flaws.
The more they learned about Mo Li, the stronger their admiration for her became.
Thinking about it this way, being a little fickle doesn't seem so unacceptable.
After all, there can never be another "Alice" in the world.
……
And on stage.
After Eden finished speaking, the accompaniment of "Hair Like Snow," which should have started immediately, did not begin for a long time.
The audience was quite patient; they could wait for several tens of seconds.
Eden was a little worried; could something have gone wrong?
Just as she was feeling a little uneasy, the accompaniment finally started.
The melodious music, with a touch of antiquity yet full of pop song elements, drifted in.
Before the guzheng accompaniment had even finished, a burst of enthusiastic cheers erupted from the audience.
……
As expected, it was still a beautiful Chinese folk song.
It's not just that it sounds good, it also gives listeners in China a sense of belonging that is both strange and familiar.
This is a subtle melancholy that has accumulated from being immersed in Western songs for a long time, and has gone unnoticed by others.
Now that they have finally seen a musical style unique to the Dragon Kingdom, how could they not feel excited and surprised?
Finally, the prelude ended.
……
The crescent moon hangs low, and she looks haggard.
I raised my glass and drank in the wind and snow.
Who overturned the cabinet of past lives, stirring up dust and trouble?
The power of fate, through countless cycles of reincarnation~
Your furrowed brows and weeping cannot bring back your beauty.
Even though history has turned to ashes, my love will never die.
……
The melody is beautiful, the lyrics are beautiful, the singer is beautiful, and Eden's song is equally beautiful.
From the very beginning, everyone was instantly captivated.
Appreciate the lyrics, appreciate the music.
Jay Chou's song "Hair Like Snow" left a deep impression on Mo Li.
Logically speaking, when you're used to the original singer, listening to a cover version will always give you the feeling that it's "not as good as the original".
But Eden's voice when singing Chinese songs is just so beautiful.
Before he knew it, he had become completely engrossed in listening.
Even though Kiana and Mei had already changed their clothes and walked up to him, he didn't notice them.
However, the two girls were instantly captivated by Eden on stage and the beautiful, poetic melody.
……
Your hair is as white as snow, making our parting all the more poignant.
Whom did my burning of incense move?
Invite the bright moon~ Let memories shine~
