Turning boredom into fun seems to be the only way to get rid of boredom in this era, and slogans and shouts have also been transformed into an inclusive material foundation with the spiritual poverty of Chinese rock. Taste is still hidden in the pockets of a few people, while most people are still blindly following the limits of entertainment, leading to a gradual mental breakdown. It's hard to say whether the world is crazy or we are crazy; The story of beans and beanstalks continues; And it's getting worse ... if there is still emotion, if there is still strength, after the real transformation of spirit and flesh, maybe we should know how to continue on this road ... even if it is numb! This is the anomaly of Chinese rock after ten years of wind and rain-Zi Yue Band.

A calligraphy with folk wisdom, a freehand brushwork of Chinese painting.

In the course of more than ten years of modern music in China, Zi Yue Band chose life and tried different music with its unique sensitivity. No matter from the name of the band or the form of musical expression, Confucius has a strong China temperament, and the ethnic origin here is no longer a mere formality, but a natural highlight based on life itself. Behind the impetuous noise and shallow utilitarianism, they silently polished and maintained the resources shared by our ancestors. It is a pure "China" band that promotes rock music from primitive anger to humanistic thinking.

The lead singer Akino's insistence has never changed. He believes that nothingness is only the appearance of the status quo, and blind flicker is only a short and irresponsible self-touching behavior. The continuous disintegration of the concept confirms the serious textual research on the variation of every China person, that is, "happiness" and "unhappiness". In this era of mixed structure that is no longer pure, it is particularly important that the advantages and disadvantages directly point to our roots. ...

Confucius is a legend, because the concept of Akino and Lin Wen's piano skills make them absolutely different from all existing forms of rock music. They definitely belong to this world, because their art is abnormal.

Since the establishment of 1995, although only two albums have been released, the first volume of 1996 and the second volume in 2002, the number is small, but once the works came out, they aroused strong repercussions in and outside the circle. They won the title of "Very China, Very Modern, Very Folk, Very Rock" and were elected as pioneers and representatives of "Humanistic Rock". Their unique music style is also called "Zi Yue Rock" in many music types ... However, these praises are just jokes about looking back at interesting things after drinking for 30 days. They just believe and hope that "Confucius" will last forever.

There is no doubt that the ideal needs people to complete, so after nearly two years of pain, a new lineup of "Purple Autumn Moon" has come, and after injecting fresh blood, it is more full and energetic. They have jumped out of the first volume of "hit the nail on the head" and the second volume of "punch out" and sublimated into more intense and humanistic personality music. With the lost faith, it is still broad, open, simple and pure, and it is still a mortal concept that "all emotions are articles and all interests are not preached". Simple and quaint soundtrack, simple and playful lyrics, excellent instrumental interpretation and unique style that Akino and Wen Lin can't match, there will always be some surprises at Confucius' scene.

Introduction:

It can be said that the practice of nationalization of rock music has never stopped since it landed in China. Many China national musical instruments, such as erhu, guzheng, pipa and Xiao, have been tossed in various music types. Looking at the smug expressions of those parties, anyone feels as if he has completed an epoch-making mission of combining Chinese and Western.

Can only say regret! A piece of music that is actually copied from the West, or an original folk music that is around or in the middle, can only be said to be an ornament at best, and it has become a national thing, or it may be caused by long-term national inferiority complex, too confident and blind. Until there was Confucius.

From the original Good Brothers, Zhouyi to Confucius, the name of the band is changing, but Akino's insistence has not changed at all. The blood of the nation is no longer just a form here. Let's look at three complete electroacoustics, but you can still feel the deep national complex in the small gap of the notes.

I have to mention Cui Jian again. If Cui Jian's appreciation of young musicians' bravery and Dou Wei's appreciation is limited to words, this time he used practical actions to make Ziyue become a signing band and a record producer for the first time.

There is no doubt that the identity of the bass player was exposed from the first song. "Dear" begins with a bass voice, half talking and half singing, but after listening to it, the suffocating resonance with drawling tone fully shows the differences between China and the West in pronunciation, followed by the attack of Chinese dialects, and a familiar melody from electric guitar, which only appears here and seems to have many funny elements.

"Relative" should be Akino's old work. Akino recorded this song as the Zhouyi band in the early platter of "Fire in China". You can listen to it as a love song, using a very conventional love song mode. But in the background of erratic guitar chords, the shaking sound is still strange, but more interesting. This kind of song may not attract you at first, but listening to it too much is really addictive. Oh, try it.

Ciqi is also included in the works of Good Brothers of Akino Group. It's still the beginning of practicing bass for a while. The work borrows Seven Steps Poetry as another interpretation of "Ci Qi", which is also bureaucratic and interesting. In terms of music arrangement, this work is also the closest to traditional rock.

Dream is undoubtedly an absolutely excellent work, almost a perfect story arranged by music. Guitar, bass and drums fluctuate with the changes of plot and mood here, almost abandoning the three-stage mode and approaching the mode of folk opera.

The opening of "Deep in the Light" is very psychedelic, with two guitars and two chords, and the two effects are opposite, while Akino is singing with his throat, and all the vocal rules have long been thrown aside. The bass is jumping from beginning to end. In this kind of music, you can't tell whether you want to echo loudly or sit quietly.

Things in front of the door-it's too Beijing. Listening to Qiuye's music and old Beijing dialect, old hutongs, old city walls, old teahouses and so on can't help coming to my eyes. The main song part finally has a western harmony, and Lao Cui also played his signature trumpet here, which is simple and clear.

"Wine Road" is also an old work, which was once included in "Rock Beijing 3". Akino made a naked display of China's culture, and a large number of folk proverbs were properly used, many of which were not miscellaneous, much like the stand-up comedy of modern rock version. Xiao Hehua plays here, and the guitar bass drum is not only peaceful, but also harmonious.

Throughout the album, you can hear all kinds of music types, ethnic groups, rock and roll. All the details here have become the seasoning of Qiuye, and finally they are harmoniously integrated into his works. This is a veritable pot of China thick soup. Akino used his invisible palm to erase all the thoughts you might want to trace back to. Just drink, and don't worry too much about the rest.

Introduction:

About seven years ago, I first heard the song "Zi Yue" in a rock platter, which was then called "Ci Qi". This song was written in various ways. At that time, there were not many lyrics that could be written in a decent and interesting way, so I remembered the name "Zi Yue". Later, when I heard Dear, I felt that this band was a little different, with a little bitterness in humor and a little cruelty in laughter and ridicule. Akino's performance style is also very different from other singers. He can make you smile with your mouth open, and his acting talent is rare in the history of rock circles. Many people think that Confucius can definitely make a difference. Later, Confucius signed a contract with the "East-West Culture" company in Cui Jian at that time and published its first record. Cui Jian can take a fancy to Confucius among many rock bands. On the one hand, the music of "Zi Yue" is similar to that of Cui Jian, which makes Cui Jian find many feelings from their music. Later, Cui Jian became a producer, further "Cui Jianhua" the style of "Zi Yue". On the other hand, the lyrics of Confucius made Cui Jian discover that there are others besides him who can analyze the real society by laughing and cursing. Although this criticism is not as sharp as Cui Jian himself, it is enough to impress his old people.

However, the unhappy cooperation and the disappearance of "eastern and western cultures" later turned "Confucius" into "explanation". Obviously, "Zi Yue" took advantage of the law. Many bands sign performing arts contracts in the name of the band, not specific people. Therefore, the simplest way for many bands to cancel their contracts is to dissolve the band and use this golden cicada to evade the law. Then, "Confucius" suddenly became "Yi Shi".

Confucius changed to Yi Shi and changed back to Confucius. Although it has been like this for some time, as long as Akino is around, people can recognize it no matter how it changes. The art created by genius cannot be copied, because no one knows what strange ideas are in Akino's mind.

After four years, "Zi Yue" finally released their second album "Zi Yue Er". It is still a familiar tune of Akino, so when you listen to their records, you won't think of the name "Yi Shi".

Without Cui Jian, Zi Yue Er is more open in many places, which shows that the mastery of music is much more mature than in the past. After all, the basic lineup has not changed, and the cooperation is more tacit. As far as the law of some domestic singers and bands making records is concerned, most of them are often planted on the second album. The second album of Tang Dynasty, Black Panther, Zhang Chu and Zheng Jun is like the gate of hell, and few people can break through it. Confucius seems to face some problems. There are no more dramatic songs such as Dear, Relative and Porcelain in the new album. Obviously, Confucius hopes to make people feel that they are making progress and breakthroughs in the new album, so on the basis of the original characteristics, it is hoped that the lyrics will be deeper and the music will be more diverse and rich.

If there is anything special about the new album Confucius, it is that it is not serious at all. In fact, "Confucius" was not serious from the beginning, but when they first debuted, people around them were seriously rocking, and their rudeness was really out of place. Therefore, in their first album, most of the songs were quite normal and didn't have much color. But Akino is a very independent person and will not change easily because of the changes around him. He knows that only by being so indecent can he be comfortable.

What happened to Confucius? Listen to their music first. Although they are at least a rock band, Akino's mouth reminds you of Jingyun Drum, Hebei Bangzi and Tianjin Tune. In terms of arrangement, they are obviously much more complicated than in the past, and their structures are becoming more and more open, even making people feel a little verbose, with various sound effects, background sounds and chanting, but they sound lively and not boring at all. Many people are "neat" when making music. They don't want too many odds and ends in the music, but Akino is just the opposite. In his opinion, only odds and ends can better express his views and musical personality. In fact, their expression coincides with the inappropriateness of lyrics and singing. Even Plum Blossom Lane, which has written half the lyrics, can't forget the impropriety of singing in an extremely lyrical way in Akino. In the lyrics, except "Will there be stars here at night?" Except honesty, other lyrics are basically not serious. For example, in Tuosuo, Akino "taught" some people in a harsh tone: "Think about what you did, what? Nothing? It's nothing. Why are you here? " In Ballad's Love Song, he sang again: "I walk in front of your house from morning till night, but I always meet your mother when I come out and go in." Your mother said: she went to dinner with someone else. Your mother said, she may not come tonight. Sing another love song for you. You can't hear your mother anyway. In such a cold day, for this bunch of flowers, for such a cold day, I am afraid that I will freeze to death. " However, just looking at the lyrics of Confucius, we don't know much about Ba 'er Love Song. Most of the lyrics are unintelligible to read, but when they come out of Akino's mouth and are accompanied by their indecent music, they sound like they can understand what is going on.

Although it is not serious, Confucius reveals the inferiority of human nature more implicitly than the last album. In fact, they are more serious than anyone else.
