Why is the song about Ru Kiln called "Blue and White Porcelain"?

Shangguan Chongchi, the production director of the number one ranked Royal Entertainment, was also completely bewildered.

That Shangguan Chongchi could sit in this position shows his strength.

In fact, he was also a top-tier Senior Producer, but his sensitivity to the music market surpassed that of ordinary people.

He later switched to being a director, managing the entire Royal Entertainment's music market department.

When Nan Ye first became famous, he had also extended an invitation.

He just didn't expect that even with Royal Entertainment's huge name, Nan Ye would refuse.

Shangguan Chongchi once thought that Nan Ye was a rather arrogant person and would be difficult to get along with even if he joined Royal Entertainment, so he didn't make any further moves.

Who knew that in just three months, Nan Ye had grown to this extent.

This made Shangguan Chongchi feel, for the first time, that he had missed a piece of unpolished jade.

When he wanted to recruit Nan Ye again...

What the heck was this?

I was even planning to offer an 80-20 split to recruit this little pervert, Nan Ye.

This is a higher-level contract than even the Little Heavenly Queen!

But then Yu Dad tells me he can't write a song like this?

Good grief, you're pushing Nan Ye even higher!

Do I need to prepare a 90-10 split contract to make you happy?

Or do we need the company to pay him?

You can't do things like this!

Shangguan Chongchi's heart, which wanted to recruit Nan Ye, instantly chilled by half.

He didn't know where to start...

...

Amidst the shock, Netizens began to discuss:

【Why did Yu Dad say he couldn't write a song like this? So what's so amazing about this song?】

【The painting is amazing, you can tell at a glance, but what about the song? Can someone come out and give an evaluation?】

Soon someone @Lou Zhihe, asking why he wasn't coming out to say a few words this time?

Of course, Lou Zhihe couldn't miss this opportunity. The moment someone @ him, he immediately connected with Nan Ye.

"Great Nan Ye, long time no see!"

That's right, this time Lou Zhihe directly called him 'Great'.

There was no other way, this guy's rise was simply too fast.

Nan Ye gestured for him to continue. Since he was a friendly force, there was no need to be polite.

"Everyone knows this song is good, but they can't articulate exactly why it's good. I'll talk to everyone about it.

The opening is 'plain base', which is a long shot. Then it moves to 'outlining the blue and white porcelain', the scene is gradually pulled closer, and finally, it's the peony on the bottle.

At this point, you can no longer focus, you can only jump away.

Jumping away to memories of the past, the peony is like how you looked back then.

If life were only like the first meeting, your initial makeup was the most beautiful!

Then to 'slowly rising sandalwood scent through the window', it might be the lingering incense smoke I see.

It might also be the faint, elusive, and indistinct sandalwood scent I smell.

When this wisp of scent passes through the window, I finally understand why my heart was troubled.

What kind of writing is this?

It's the combination of the real and the virtual!

Li Yu's 'Yu Meiren', I presume everyone knows it, so let's talk about it together.

【When will the spring flowers and autumn moon end】→【The peony painted on the bottle】

【How many past events are known】→【Just like your initial makeup.】

【Last night, the east wind blew again on the small building】→【Slowly rising sandalwood scent through the window】

【The old country is unbearable to look back upon under the bright moon】→【My worries are clear to me】

Both use one real scene before the eyes and one virtual past event.

Comparing them like this, aren't they seamless?

As soon as the first few lines came out, that ancient charm immediately pierced my heart.

Rather than lyrics, it should be called a poem!"

After Lou Zhihe's interpretation, everyone suddenly understood.

No wonder the lyrics were unbelievably beautiful, the reason was actually here.

Lou Zhihe continued:

"Another amazing aspect is how the lyrics form riddles + answers.

Riddle: Slowly rising sandalwood scent through the window, my worries are clear to me ---- What are my worries?

Answer: Your beauty drifts away like a wisp ---- Oh, it turns out he's thinking of his beloved. At this point, a new riddle appears: Since he misses her, why doesn't he go find her?

Continuing the answer: Cooking smoke curls up, separated by thousands of miles across the river ---- Oh, it turns out his beloved is in a distant place thousands of miles across the river, and ancient transportation was inconvenient...

There are many other places, you can ponder them yourselves, I won't say too much.

However, this is also the brilliance of the lyrics. The entire piece doesn't talk about love, but in the end, every line is about love.

This level of cultural depth is completely crushing compared to the 'I love you, you love me' popular online nowadays.

So Yu Dad saying this is the peak of Chinese style music is indeed not an exaggeration!"

Netizens were all amazed.

If Lou Zhihe hadn't come out to explain, they really wouldn't have seen so much!

"Finally, the line everyone thinks is the most wonderful: The sky-blue color waits for the misty rain, and I am waiting for you.

This line is written exceptionally well.

But I want to tell everyone, this line is very illogical."

When this sentence came out, many people didn't understand:

【How is this lyric illogical? I think it's written very well!】

【Is something wrong? Please forgive me, I can't see anything.】

【Nan Ye didn't even refute it, which means he agrees with Lou Zhihe's statement. Let's listen to what Lou Zhihe says!】

The audience listened patiently.

"From Nan Ye's monologue, we can learn that the sky-blue color refers to a type of porcelain.

But have you noticed, blue and white porcelain is not sky-blue, this is the first illogical point!"

At this moment, everyone suddenly remembered that the song's title was 《qing hua ci》.

White body with blue patterns is blue and white porcelain, which is clearly not associated with sky-blue.

"After a stormy and rainy day, the sky is washed clean, and only then does the sky-blue color appear.

So the sky-blue color should be waiting for a stormy day, not a misty rain day.

Misty rain drifts up from the ground, this logic is incorrect.

However, 'the sky-blue color waits for the stormy rain' doesn't sound as good either.

But from another perspective:

Firing sky-blue porcelain requires a lower temperature, which is achieved on misty rain days.

Looking at it from this angle, it makes sense.

Thus, not only does it read smoothly, but it also matches the line that follows.

It can also create a sense of 'illogical yet wonderful'.

This is a writing style found only in poetry.

So, strictly speaking, this line is also a poem!

Moreover, I think this song isn't about blue and white porcelain, but another type of porcelain. I'm not knowledgeable about porcelain, so I won't make a fool of myself!"

The audience couldn't have imagined that such a wonderful lyric contained two errors.

But they were errors that were so beautiful.

It was truly incredible!

【So, what kind of porcelain is this song about?】

At this time, Liu Xuechi stepped forward without hesitation.

"I will answer this music critic's question.

This song is indeed not about blue and white porcelain, but Ru ware!

Ru ware is sky-blue.

Actually, Nan Ye already pointed this out to everyone, but many people didn't notice.

Nan Ye started singing only after the video finished introducing Ru ware.

This is one of the hints.

The second hint is in the inscription on the painting at the end.

'After the rain, the sky breaks through the clouds, this color shall be the future.'

This line has a history.

According to one version, Emperor Huizong of Song had a dream. After waking, he recited this line of poetry and instructed artisans to fire Ru ware porcelain in the color of the sky after rain.

Unfortunately, it's just a legend.

It actually first appeared in 'Wu Za Zu' by Xie Zhaozhe from the Ming Dynasty.

Since it was written by someone from the Ming Dynasty, how could it have appeared in the Song Dynasty?

Therefore, this poem was not written by Emperor Huizong of Song, but everyone is more willing to say it was written by Huizong.

Because that way, it's perfect!

So much so that later, whenever this poem appeared, those who understood porcelain knew it was referring to Ru ware."

After hearing Liu Xuechi's explanation, everyone understood that this song was actually about Ru ware, not blue and white porcelain.

【So the question is, why is a song about Ru ware called 《qing hua ci》?】
