1. Jiang Lei’s song "On the Water Side"

The lyrics of this song are adapted from "The Book of Songs·Jianjia", and "On the Water Side" was written by Qiong Yao , composed by Lin Jiaqing. It is also the theme song of the same name written by Qiong Yao for her movie "On the Water Side".

Teresa Teng once sang a cover of a song that was very popular in the 1970s, and it became very popular all over the country. Therefore, people mistakenly thought that Teresa Teng was the original singer. In the late 1980s, the TV series "On the Water Side" was broadcast, and it was sung by Li Bihua. Since then, many singers have also covered the song, including Fei Yuqing, Li Jian, etc.

2. Teresa Teng’s song "When Will the Bright Moon Come?"

"When Will the Bright Moon Come?" This song has been sung all over the country. It is very familiar and very popular. This song was adapted from Su Shi's poem "Shui Tiao Ge Tou".

It is included in the album "A Touch of Love". This album is the work of Teresa Teng at the peak of her acting career. It is also the first album in history to soundtrack ancient poems. "May I Live Longer" is also included in this album. in the album. Teresa Teng's elegant, solemn, gentle and passionate temperament brought this song to the extreme. "When Will the Bright Moon Come" was later covered by Faye Wong, which was also very influential.

3. Yu Quan’s song "Xin Qiji"

The song "Xin Qiji" is a very typical song about ancient poetry. This song is the first song in Yu Quan's album to return to the music scene after their disbandment, which shows the attitude of the two. Yu Quan adapted many of Xin Qiji's poems into lyrics, which is a crazy adaptation method. The lyrics are about reading a sword while drunk and dreaming of blowing the trumpet. This sentence comes from Xin Qiji's poem "Broken Array: Compose a heroic poem for Chen Tongfu".

The sound of bows like thunder and startling strings comes from Xin Qiji's "Broken Arrangement"; the romance is always blown away by the rain and wind, from Xin Qiji's "Yong Yu Le·Eternal Country", and also quoted from "Congratulations to the Bridegroom", "Moon over the Xijiang River·Qing Xing", "Yong Yu Le·Jingkou Beigu Pavilion Nostalgia for the Past", etc. are not listed here one by one. This song gave me a new appreciation for poetry adaptation.

Let’s talk about the rock music used to sing ancient poems:

1. The song "Beacon Fire Yangzhou Road" by the Samsara Band

The Samsara Band is a band composed of five people in the 1990s A band formed by top music students, "Yangzhou Road" is a classic work. The lyrics are adapted from Xin Qiji's "Yong Yu Le·Jingkou Beigu Pavilion Nostalgic". This kind of rock arrangement is eye-catching.

2. The song "The River is Red" by Samsara Band

"The River is Red" is a poem by Yue Fei. Let me share with you the famous verses in the poem:

Thirty Fame and fame are like dust and earth, and eight thousand miles of clouds and moon.

Don’t wait and see, your young head will turn gray and you will be filled with sorrow.

Zhuangzhi eats the meat of Huns when they are hungry, and drinks the blood of Huns when they are thirsty.

Ancient songs and ancient poems and songs:

In the traditional sense, ancient songs refer to those that have been handed down from ancient China and have a high reputation. Music; the ancient music advocated and popularized in the current sense mainly refers to ancient poetry and songs, referred to as ancient music.

1. Ancient music based on traditional concepts.

Ai Jun believes that ancient music in the traditional sense refers to music that has been handed down from ancient China and has a high reputation. Representative repertoire includes: "Orchid", "Qin Wang Breaking Formation Music", "Yangchun", "White Snow", "Changsha Nu Yin", "Qinglian Yuefu", "Qinglian Yuefu", "Song on the Fortress", "General" Order", "Drunken Madness".

"Three Layers of Yangguan", "Song of Colorful Feathers", "Haiqing Nahe", "Li Sao", "Remembering Old Friends", "Drunken Fishermen Singing Evening", "Bo Ya mourns his son" , "Scratching the Head to Ask the Sky", "Xiaoxiang Water Clouds", "Fishermen's Song", etc. Most of these ancient songs are instrumental music, and most of them were created by poets.

Of course, some ancient songs not only have music but also lyrics.

For example, "The Music of King Qin Breaking the Formation". "The Music of the King of Qin Breaking the Formation" was originally a military song in the early Tang Dynasty. In 620 AD, King Qin Li Shimin defeated the rebel Liu Wuzhou and consolidated the newly established Tang regime. Therefore, his soldiers filled in the old songs with new words and sang a hymn in praise of Li Shimin: "The head of state accepted the law and the prime minister punished the rebellious ministers. The Xian song "The Music of Breaking the Formation" was used to reward the Taiping people."

"The royal winds of the four seas, the virtues and waters of the millennium have been pure; the military uniforms have not been put on, and today the success is achieved." ". It mainly praises Tang Taizong's heroic achievements.

Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty personally designed the music and dance of the King of Qin to break the formation for this song. It was a famous song and dance song in the Tang Dynasty. This song was also spread abroad.

For example, "Li Sao". "Li Sao" is a qin music composed by Chen Kangshi in the late Tang Dynasty based on Qu Yuan's poem of the same name. The music is simple, vigorous, deep and implicit, expressing the melancholy and anguish of the great patriotic poet Qu Yuan after he was raped and slandered, as well as his noble feelings of homesickness and patriotism.

Another example is "Fishermen's Song". "Fishermen's Song" is said to be a guqin piece composed by Liu Zongyuan, which is based on the poem "The Fisherman" written by Liu Zongyuan when he was exiled to Yongzhou: The fisherman stays with Xiyan at night, and at dawn he draws clear Xiangxiang and burns Chuzhu. When the smoke disappears and no one is seen at sunrise, there is a sound of green mountains and rivers. Looking back at the stream below the horizon, the unintentional clouds are chasing each other on the rocks.

"Yangchun", "Yangchun" is a guqin song evolved from the ancient song "Yangchun Baixue", which expresses the rejuvenation of all things and the gentle breeze. Judging from the records of Song Yu's "Asking the King of Chu Xiang", "Yangchun Baixue" was originally a song with lyrics. However, due to its high artistic quality and difficulty in singing, there were very few people who could sing along with it, making it a "high-quality and low-key" song.

"Qiao Qiao Qiao Qiao", this song has been handed down through the ages, and there are more than 30 versions, some with lyrics. The existing genealogy first appeared in the Ming Dynasty. The music expresses disdain for those who pursue fame and fortune through the fishermen and woodcutters enjoying themselves among the green mountains and green waters.

"Eighteen Beats of Hujia" is a piece of music composed based on the ancient poem of the same name. The lyrics were first published in "Chu Ci Houyu" by Zhu Xi of the Southern Song Dynasty. There are two genealogies: "Da Hu Jia" and "Xiao Hu Jia". The poet Li Xin once wrote the following poem: "The sound of the Hujia made by Lady Cai is eighty-eighth in one beat. The Hu people shed tears on the grass, and the Han envoys sigh heartbrokenly at the returning guests."
