The original scenery of my hometown< /p>
Author: Soujiro, Japanese ocarina master
Desolate Tanye. By the long river. Only a pile of ashes from last night's bonfire and a few traces of smoke curling up...
Under the moonlight outside the window, I am waiting for my return. I am so narcissistic that I don't know when I will return. I will wait until the sea withers away!

The Dawn of Heroes, also known as the Dawn of the Three Kingdoms.
Author: Yokoyama Seiji, Japan
One of my favorite songs. It is majestic, soul-stirring, poignant and melancholy.
The opening song of "Three Kingdoms" written by the famous Japanese musician Yokoyama Seiji! It is the opening song of the 7-hour cartoon movie "Romance of the Three Kingdoms"... It is also a combination of Japan's own sophisticated synthesizers and Chinese folk instruments! The opening music of the first movie "Dawn of the Heroes" is a masterpiece of guzheng and synthesizer collaboration. In fact, this song "Dawn of the Three Kingdoms" has been used as plot soundtrack by "The Legend of the Condor Heroes", "Sword Slave", etc...

——Used many times in the ancient version of "The Legend of the Condor Heroes".
Compared with music, the text is really pale and barren. "Farewell on a rainy night" - just 4 words, too narrow, too small, how many so-called "sadness", "melancholy" and "sentiment" All the music can be named like this! Happiness is always similar, but misfortune is different. However, in front of this song, no matter what it is called, even if I know nothing about its author, origin, or background, it still makes me cry. This is the magic of music. Mountains and rivers, the woodcutter and the piano player know each other, so why do they know each other before?

.....Think of the heroic scene between Liu Zhengfeng and Qu Yang when they played together. Humans are not human, Tao is not Tao, and demons are not demons... True love never dies! Linghu Chong and Ren Yingying, one playing the harp and the other playing the flute, have the same mind, they enjoy each other harmoniously, and they work together seamlessly. At the end of the song, the two of them looked at each other and smiled, and a flock of white pigeons flew from Linghu Chong's shoulders... What a pair of divine companions! I just feel that this ensemble of harp and flute is more tender and graceful. It has a deeper meaning than the harmonious harp and harp that the ancients praised! It is a reflection of the catastrophe in Japan's history and the relief after the prosperity has faded and the vicissitudes of life have passed!

This song is included in the video "Shooting the Condor" directed and performed by Judge Dee. Sad, pathos, vicissitudes of life, ethereal.
8. Warm Moments
There are many martial arts music that are sad and poignant. But there are few that are cheerful, beautiful and classic.
Generally, it appears more often at critical moments of love between lovers. Subtle changes occur in the relationship, and when you embrace each other silently without saying even the most touching love words, it can be regarded as the warmest moment in love.

Sourced from the TV original soundtrack of "Love in Shaolin Temple", with obvious Shaolin background. Obviously the bamboo flute is the main instrument, which runs through the beginning and end of the music. There are also sounds of wooden fish interspersed with it, and there is another sound, which is a bit like the sound of drum heads. I think computer sound effects can also be made, but I don’t know. Real drum sounds or computer sound effects.

The flute music of Snow Flower Divine Sword, a ten-year classic, is like the music of nature, which can often evoke a little sadness in people's hearts, thinking of Jiangxue , a beautiful woman who has never been able to get love. Watching her slowly playing this piece of music makes my heart break.
12. The journey to the West is a long way
Author: Lu Guanting, Zhao Jiping
The resentful music brings out the yellow sand everywhere, and just listening to the song has already made me feel a lot. I was deeply moved, and just looking at the scenery made me feel a little desolate. However, the music and scenery work so well together. From the very beginning of Journey to the West, it foreshadows the ending of this movie - it will not end happily according to the rules. In addition to being moved, it is also sad. It is very sad.
13, Song Dynasty
Author: Kitaro
Author introduction: Kitaro was born in 1953 in a farming family in Toyohashi, Aichi Prefecture, Japan. In his early years, Influenced by the famous R&B singer Otis Redding, he taught himself guitar in high school and formed the band "Albatross" with his friends.
In the 1970s, he joined a band called "Far East Family" and toured the world with them. When he was performing in Europe, he had the opportunity to meet Klaus Schulze, the founder of Tangerine Dream, who taught him more about the secrets of using reverb.
In 1976, he left the "Far East Family" band and traveled to Asian countries, such as China, Laos, Thailand, India, etc.
Kitaro returned to Japan in 1977. In 1978, Kitaro started his activities as an independent musician and released his first album "Tianjie". Listening to this disc from the perspective of music history, it kicked off the New Age in the East and opened another door to music. "Earth" and "Oasis" were released in 1979. In 1980, Kitaro served as the music producer for the NHK program "Silk Road". The program was well received. The theme song written by Kitaro was loved by everyone and became one of Kitaro's masterpieces. And attracted many fans who supported the New Age movement. In the same year, he released the collections "Silk Road 1" and "Silk Road 2". The live recordings during the performance also received favorable reviews, and Kitaro suddenly became popular. His first concert was held in Shinjuku, Tokyo. In this concert, Kitaro was the first composer in the world to use a reverberator to simulate more than 40 musical instruments. However, his international popularity continues to grow when NHK, Japan's most influential public media organization, uses the soundtrack of his song as the theme song for the documentary series "Silk Road." In 1981, he released the albums "Dunhuang" and "Qi". The following year, he toured 30 cities across Japan and conducted an Asian tour, becoming the first Japanese musician to perform in Taiwan and mainland China.
The launch of the "Silk Road" series and the release of the masterpiece "Dunhuang" have made Chinese audiences feel cordial. He is so fond of Chinese-themed music because Kitaro has always insisted that "Chinese culture is the root of Japanese culture."
In 1980, Kitaro signed a contract with Geffen Records in the United States (his current record company is Domo Records), and Kitaro's album officially entered the United States. In 1986, Kitaro broke Geffen Records' global album distribution record; in 1987, he collaborated with other bands (such as: Grateful Dead, Yes) to record sales of up to 10 million copies.
After that, he was nominated for the Grammy Award twice and won the Golden Globe Award for Best Original Score in 1993 for the album of the film "Heaven and Earth" of the same name.

After "Heaven and Earth", he created the album "Song Dynasty", which also won the Taiwan Golden Horse Award and the Hong Kong Film Award. Kitaro has been nominated for many Grammy Awards during his music career. His greatest musical achievement is that he won the Grammy Award in 2001 for his solo album "Thinking of You". Kitaro, who has never received any music education and cannot even read music notation, used to record music in his own way (somewhat similar to drawings), but he is indeed a versatile musician. In addition to playing guitar, bass, keyboard, flute and He composes, arranges, and produces in addition to many other instruments. Many Hong Kong and Taiwan TV series or movies have used its music as the soundtrack. Such as: TVB The Legend of the Condor Heroes 1995, TVB Scimitar 1996, TVB Tian Long Ba Bu 1996, TVB The Deer and the Cauldron 1998, etc.
——If "Heaven and Earth" is Kitaro's first attempt to combine Western orchestral music and Chinese folk music styles and achieved good results, then the soundtrack of "Song Dynasty" is Kitaro's work in these styles. It is a masterpiece that perfectly integrates aspects. The music of this film has become a classic. The modes of Chinese folk music are very different from those of Western orchestral music. It is difficult to combine these two different styles of music seamlessly, but Kitaro did it.

Birds are singing in the empty mountains, and people are living among the white clouds.
23, BEAT JP
Author: Liang Bangyan, a Japanese-Korean, not a Chinese!
The reason why I can remember the movie Fist of Fury 12 years ago to this day is that, apart from the heroic plot and Duo Zidan’s gorgeous performance at that time, every song The background sound that appears in every fighting scene is also an important factor. The song is composed of various traditional percussion instruments from beginning to end, and is magnificent.
24, Looking for a Wife
Author: S.E.N.S (Shensi Zhe)
"Looking for a Wife" has a very grand opening. After the harp prelude, A piece of cello is used, and the whole song unfolds in a sad but not sad way. Will the husband who has gone far away one day meet again? People are just pawns of fate. . The tragedy of women is that they often regard their husbands as the most important part and devote their lives to love. The song "Looking at My Husband" is enough to make people feel emotional.
25, Water Lily
Author: Jia Pengfang, she is currently the one scoring the Korean game "Aion".
Erhu performer Jia Pengfang's profile:
Born in April 1958, Erhu performer. Member of Chinese Musicians Association and Japan Oriental Music Society. Influenced by his brother since childhood, he started learning Erhu at the age of 8. In 1978, he joined the China National Traditional Orchestra. In 1979, he began to serve as the erhu soloist of the troupe, and in 1984, he became the deputy principal of the troupe's national orchestra.
Since 1980, he has recorded many Erhu solos for Beijing People's Broadcasting Station, Central People's Broadcasting Station, China Radio International, etc. In 1988, the Central People's Broadcasting Station's music program "China Music Circle" featured his Erhu, Gaohu, Banhu and Jinghu solos. China Radio International introduced the music he played to various countries in English, Japanese and other languages. China's "Talent" magazine conducted an exclusive interview with him and published his journey of success. The overseas edition of "China Pictorial" also featured his artistic activities in China and after his stay in Japan in the art column. In 1990, China Musicians Audio and Video Publishing House and China International Station Audio and Video Publishing House published erhu solo album recordings titled "The Moon A Thousand Miles Away" and "Wedding Farewell" respectively.
——Taken from Jia Pengfang's "Yao" album, "Er Quan Ying Yue", "Henan Xiaoqu" and "Nostalgic Song" are all adapted from traditional Chinese music of the same name. The compositions of other songs are similar to Seiichi Kyoda is still responsible for the arrangement and album production of all songs. "Water Lily" can be said to be a famous piece of modern erhu music, and it can also be said to be Jia Pengfang's pinnacle work.
I thought the erhu was always sad and desolate, but I didn’t expect that it could also be sweet, affectionate, and lingering. The piano background accompaniment also adds to the level of the piece, removing the monotony of the erhu solo and revealing a touch of longing.
26, The Legend of Fengzihua
Author: Shinji Tanimura?
Seami Motoki (1363-1443), a generation Noh master in Japan's Muromachi period, said in his art theory work "Biography of Fengzihua": "If this flower can be transmitted from my heart to your heart, it will be said that "The Legend of Graceful Flowers." In addition, Japanese culture is accustomed to using flowers to praise heroes...
The wind has no gesture, but you can feel it through the flowers blown by it. This is called "Biography of Graceful Flowers",
I don't know who was the wind, who was the flower, and who was the person who looked at the flowers and felt the wind in the previous life.
In life, illusion and reality are unclear, virtuality and purity are difficult to determine, misfortunes and blessings are unknown, the bloody moment of narrow escape, the cold waning moon outside the wall, shameless, rampant, cruel, and unrestrained Can the soul that has experienced humiliation, epiphany, trembling, rejoicing, hesitation, anger and determination be comforted and reborn in singing?
Looking ahead, you can only see the wind and the remaining clouds!
27, Memories
Author: Bandari?
Appeared in the movie "Ashes of Time".
28, THE SOONG SISTER
Author: Kitaro
I just saw a music review, as follows: By chance, Bandari came out of the Cd--Rom "The Soong Sister", I couldn't help but be conquered by her. The song was composed for the movie "Song Dynasty". If you have seen the movie, you will understand that she is the soul of the whole movie and an indispensable highlight of the movie. The original work of this piece is exactly the "Kitaro" who was diluted by my childhood memories. The distant ancient clock and the chirping of birds draw people to the temple in the quiet mountains and fields. Who are they, a pair of lovers? "What you love is winter, what I love is autumn. If you take a step forward and I take a step back, we will come to the burning summer." Every time I hear this melody, I can't help but think of Mr. Zhongshan's love for Qingling. Love words. The pure and beautiful sound of the piano is not too slow, but it faintly reveals the unique pathos of women; the tender chords of the cello, and the calm flute sound that gradually rises, can you tell that this is not a tribute to the three Song sisters? Is it a visual description of dignified manners? The sudden rhythmic and sonorous snare drum is a realistic representation of that war-torn era, but this is not the theme of the entire song. The sound of the flute, or the sound of the flute, brings people back to the memories of the lingering love and the raging revolution in those chaotic years - weak women and great revolutionaries, many separations and helplessness. The autumn wind rustles and the days are bitter. The road is long and life is difficult. --This is the story told in the Bandari version of "The Soong Sister". It changes the heavy writing of the original song "Kitaro", but adds a bit of sadness. Feminine songs express personal emotions, while heavier songs mostly express social emotions. In comparison, the former are more forgettable - this may be the reason why the same song has different feelings.
28, The Wizard of Oz
Author: Galway James, the famous flute master
——The ice and rain beat half of my heart, and it was chilling all night until dawn.
It is an ensemble piece for flute and piano. At the highest emotional point of the song, the clever ending brings the emotion back to its original point.
