Introduction: "The Song of Crouching Dragon", also known as "Youwei Song", is a very touching episode in the episode "Three Visits to the Thatched Cottage" in the 27th episode of "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms" in 1994 when Zhuge Liang went out to the mountain. The following is the guqin score I brought, I hope it will be helpful to you.
The use of carefully crafted interludes in the climax of normal narratives to further exaggerate the atmosphere, impress the audience, and lead the plot is an important part of the 1994 version of the TV series "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms" 》One of the highlights. Personally, I think that the interlude "Wolong Yin" used in the episode Zhuge Liang came out of the mountain is the most successful in terms of the composition of the music itself and the role it plays in the play. The lyrics and music that combine tragic heroic temperament with Chinese classical style, as well as the use of cameras when the interlude appears, give the TV series "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms" a tragic historical spirit that surpasses the original work.
The late Han Dynasty and the Three Kingdoms were an era of heroic temperament. Previously, the Han Dynasty, which lasted for nearly 400 years, became an era of Confucianism and Confucianism due to its choice of external Confucianism and internal law, as well as the ideology of prophecy and wei studies. The academic atmosphere of being a master of the classics and adhering to the legal system has always been shrouded. The strong heroic atmosphere that emerged during the Warring States Period in China has been suppressed by strict cultural control in the Han Dynasty. Until the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, with the Yellow Turban Uprising and Dong Zhuo's entry into Beijing, the world was in chaos, and the unified Confucianism collapsed. As the saying goes, "When the world is in conflict, heroes are recreated." The heroic temperament full of heroic ambitions and achievements has been reborn. And among them, the tragic awareness of the short life and the impermanence of the world, which is unique in troubled times, is added. Reflected in the field of literature, it became the "Jian'an style" that led the trend. The 1994 version of the TV series "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" episode "Wolong Yin" has a tune style that is very Jian'an and can be called a successful reproduction of the historical spirit.
The lyrics of "Wolong Yin" are roughly divided into three sections. The first paragraph, from "reading poems and books with hair tied up" to "meditating for a long time in times of crisis", describes Zhuge Liang's life and thoughts before he came out of the mountains. "Looking up and observing down, keeping a strategy in mind" outlines the image of a diligent, studious and intelligent young man. "I never forget to care about my country while working hard, but my blood is in the mountains and forests" captures the image of Zhuge Liang in the original work of "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms": he is self-sufficient, does not seek to be famous, and is full of lofty ambitions to make contributions. The seemingly contradictory sentiment is actually the true connotation of Zhuge Liang's elegant nickname "Wolong".
