The lyrics are included in the textbook? ?

The chorus, which everyone was anticipating, finally arrived.

At this moment, Nan Ye happened to walk next to North Dust, and the two appeared in the same frame.

"I have searched for you a thousand times"

"From sunrise to dusk"

"In a ladle of jianghu, I drift and float"

"I have searched for you a thousand times"

"Another year of flourishing and withering"

"But you are never there, where the lights are dim"

If the previous eight lines were a buildup for the mood, then the chorus is the moment of explosion!

From daytime until night falls.

From youth to old age.

Spending a lifetime searching for you, rising and falling in the jianghu of life.

This cleverly uses Xin Qiji's "Qing Yu An": "I searched for him a thousand times among the crowd, and suddenly looking back, that person was there where the lights are dim."

However, Xin Qiji used this line to describe the realm of life, writing about finding a way out of despair and seeing light at the end of the tunnel.

Here, it takes the opposite approach.

There is no such good fortune; he spent his entire life searching for his beloved, year after year, but his beloved never appeared.

Just changing a few words results in a different life experience.

Anyone, no matter who, can appreciate the beauty of these lyrics.

This shows that Xu Sangao's talent is rarely seen in the world.

Saying he is exceptionally talented and full of knowledge is no exaggeration.

The latter half of the song is a repeated chanting of stanzas and lines.

The central theme of the entire lyric is also concentrated and reflected in this repetition.

After the song finished!

The people in the live stream were all blown away!

[Holy crap, holy crap, holy crap... I'm uncultured, not as talented as Nan Ye, so I can only rely on "holy crap" to get by.]

[Awesome, awesome, these lyrics, I feel like I'm seeing the "Dragon among Lyricists" reborn!]

[Awesome, with this song, Nan Ye's reputation as a talented scholar should be confirmed, right?]

[This old man is uncultured, I keep hearing you say awesome, awesome, how awesome exactly? Can someone give an example??]

[Let's just say, if the lyrics of any song could be included in student textbooks, this song would definitely be one of them!]

[Awesome, this is very vivid!]

[Quick, quick, at this moment, does someone need to come out and explain??]

Just when everyone wanted to @Lou Zhihe, someone else stepped forward.

This person's status was much higher than Lou Zhihe's.

Lou Zhihe is at most a relatively famous music critic and self-media personality.

But this Dong Bing is different.

He is the Chairman of the Great Xia Poetry Association.

Even Nan Ye himself didn't expect that this song would attract someone of this caliber.

"Today, I'm seeing something that delights me, so I'll play the old man card just this once!

The first couple of lines are relatively easy to understand, so I won't say much more.

The third line, "three or four watches of snow," has a source.

There is a line in Nalan Xingde's "Chang Xiang Si: A Mountain Journey":

Wind a watch, snow a watch, shattering homesick hearts, dreams unfulfilled, no such sound in the old garden.

Looking at the three or four watches of snow written by Nan Ye, it doesn't actually mean it snowed during the third or fourth watch.

Instead, it means a lot of snow is being blown by the wind, watch after watch, and the cold wind of the deep night shows no sign of receding; the wind and snow battered throughout the night.

Besides paying attention to symmetry and rhyme, poetry also uses allusions...

This three or four watches of snow is certainly not fabricated out of thin air.

From this point, it can be seen that Nan Ye's understanding of poetry is already very profound.

Next is this line: Entering a dream with melancholy, dreaming for a few months, awake for a few years.

Entering a dream with a melancholic mood, perhaps it's truly entering a dream, or perhaps it's closing one's eyes in sober contemplation.

Isn't a person's life just switching back and forth between dreaming and waking?

Whether it's dreaming for a few months or being awake for a few years is no longer important.

Just as Li Yu's lyric "Lang Tao Sha Ling: The Rain Outside the Curtain" says: In dreams, one knows not one is a guest, momentarily indulging in pleasure.

The two have similarities."

Dong Bing took a sip of water before continuing:

"Let's talk about the partridge's clear lament."

Many people know that in poetry, the partridge represents melancholy, longing, and separation between men and women.

It sounds very much like 'Cannot go, older brother.'

Therefore, ancient literati and poets often entrusted their personal emotions to it.

In fact, the Han Dynasty scholar Yang Fu's "Record of Strange Things" states: The partridge's will is to yearn for the south, not thinking of the north; its call and flight are only south, not north.

Thus, the partridge also carries the meaning of 'only south, not north.'

Implying that things go against one's wishes and the return date is uncertain.

Regarding the partridge's clear lament here, I personally lean more towards the meaning of 'only south, not north.'

That's why there's the inability to fly back to the hall in front, unable to return to the original home.

And that's why there's the later line, even searching a thousand times, but you are never there, where the lights are dim."

Dong Bing paused for a moment before finishing the last part:

"I have searched for you a thousand times; this is an allusion to Xin Qiji's poem, so I won't elaborate."

What's brilliant is the later part, 'a ladle of jianghu.'

We often use 'Three thousand weak waters, only take one ladle to drink' to express fidelity in love.

There's also the meaning of 'Three thousand great paths, only take one,' and so on.

Here, 'a ladle of jianghu' also achieves the same effect by different means.

The jianghu is vast, but for me, what belongs to me is very small, just a tiny corner.

But that one ladle containing you is my jianghu.

Even a tiny corner will become magnificent.

...

All in all, I personally lean towards considering the lyrics of this song as poetry.

In terms of lyrics, it is absolutely no weaker than Nan Ye's other classic song, blue and white porcelain.

It's just that the composition and arrangement of blue and white porcelain are much stronger than this song.

It lost on the composition, not on the lyrics.

Just as the Netizens said, it is indeed qualified to be included in textbooks.

If there's a chance, I will help apply to have the lyrics of this song included in textbooks..."

Dong Bing was right; in the eyes of many, Xu Song is a talented scholar no less than Jay Chou.

It's just that Jay Chou focused more on composition and handed the lyrics to Vincent Fang.

While Xu Song was the only one from beginning to end.

Therefore, finding someone who can assist and be relied upon is such an important matter.

And Dong Bing's last sentence made the Netizens completely unable to sit still...
