Chapter 542 "Half a City of Smoke and Sand"》
I have listened to too many Chinese-style songs by Wai Gua Pi Zao, and suddenly hearing Jiang Siming’s Chinese style becomes extremely precious..
《"Luzhou Moon" and "Enemy" fully make Jiang Siming qualified to compete with Jay Chou's Chinese style. Although it is not said to be surpassed, he can definitely become the mainstay..
Now Jiang Siming is singing Chinese style again, and everyone's expectations have been raised to a higher level..
And after Hejiu went down, the first person to come on stage was a beautiful woman holding a guzheng..
She was sitting in a corner of the stage holding her guzheng. She didn't look out of place, but it was like there was an extra waterfall in the mountains and fields, making the whole stage come alive..
Jiang Siming, on the other hand, is wearing a long gown, which gives the Chinese style that has not yet started singing the most perfect background and style..
Behind the huge LED screen, a picture of the ancient Huangsha City and the desolate plank road suddenly appeared..
Like a dusty ancient sword full of desolation and history.
Many viewers recognized that this seemed to be the northern border area, where the ancient Han people expelled the Tartars, and Huo Qubing once came here..
But now it has become a tourist attraction, and people have never noticed it before..
But now that it is being exaggerated like this, it always feels like going back to the past era of border wars..
Suddenly, the sound of a guzheng was heard. It turned out to be played by the girl next to the stage..
Just when she played like this, the audience's hearts trembled, that's how it felt！
Jiang Siming’s Chinese flavor！
Immediately, the song information appeared on the screen
Song: "Half City of Smoke and Sand"》
Lyricist: Jiang Siming
Composer: Shimei Jiang
Vocals: Jiang Siming
Half a City of Smoke and Sand, the name just sounds like it completely fits the scenery shown on the screen..
The melodious sound of the piano and the ethereal sound of silk and bamboo echoed on the stage. Just this prelude raised the audience's expectations to the extreme..
“Some love is like a broken paper kite
The sad ending is in my hands
Some hate is like a circle
There is no end to vengeance.”
Love, paper kite, sadness and hate are just a few words, between two sentences.
Jiang Siming painted a picture of relationship failure and entanglement of love and hate..
The ancient style is fully displayed in one move.
“Just to fulfill a long-cherished wish
How much blood will be paid?
words of loyalty
self-deceiving lies”
From the title of the song to these few lyrics, the audience can hear the smell of war and smoke. The general's reputation is ruined after hundreds of battles, and he laments that he has no mercy to save the world..
This is a different kind of war-torn love song. A man and a woman fall in love. When foreign enemies attack, the man is forced to go to the battlefield and part with the woman. This sad wind is also what this song depicts..
“Some feelings come back after suffering
The moon is shining brightly between the windows
Some hatred is hidden but speechless
Turn the wind and snow into a sword
Just to fulfill a long-cherished wish
How to distinguish between evil and good in chaos
Flying sand and wolf smoke will disturb me
Nothing but sorrow”
Between the lines, every sentence, every paragraph, is full of the charm of Chinese style..
Every lyric is so exquisite and breathtaking..
Many audiences with high literary standards also recognized that there is a wonderful quotation from the classics in Jiang Siming's lyrics..
The moon is shining brightly outside the window, here Jiang Siming used Nalan's poem "Die Lian Hua"》！
Hard work is the most pity for the moon in the sky, one night is like a ring, each night is as long as a jue! But like the moon, it will always be bright and clear, and the ice and snow will keep you warm！
Helpless love is easy to die, the swallow is still there, softly stepping on the curtain hook. After singing the autumn grave, the sorrow has not stopped, the spring bush recognizes the two-dwelling butterfly.
Except for Fang Wenshan and Lin Xi, there are very few lyricists who can turn ancient lyrics into songs..
At this time, the rhythm of Jiang Lan's guzheng suddenly accelerated, and the chorus of the song also followed.
“Half the city is filled with smoke and sand, soldiers are approaching the pond
For whom do we fight for the world?
One will turn into ten thousand bones and wither
How many white hair take away black hair”
The soldiers came to the bottom of the pool. The pool refers to the moat..
When the war spreads to the last land of the motherland, the desolation is self-evident.
Who are you fighting for in the world? It seems to be a self-deprecating irony..
The last sentence, the finishing touch, Jiang Siming dismantled "One general's success will make thousands of bones dry".
The phrase "How many white hair take away the black hair" almost made the audience burst into tears. It was so sad that they couldn't breathe, and they were so sad that they burst into tears..
“Half of the city is filled with smoke and sand blowing down with the wind
There is still a trace of concern in my hand
I just want to return to the fields and take off my armor
I can also take back the tea you brewed”
This paragraph seems to be Jiang Siming singing his heartfelt voice instead of the general in the song..
Standing on the city wall guarding the territory, holding a weapon in his hand, but still holding a feeling of concern like blue hair.
I just hope that the war can stop, I can return to the fields and take off my armor, and return to the place where I originally knew you. What I hold in my hand is no longer a weapon, but the tea you personally brewed for me..
Many literary and artistic audiences have shed tears. Jiang Siming's Chinese-style lyrics are always sad and cantabile, and they can hit the hearts of these literary and artistic people as quickly as possible..
Second paragraph expands
“Some feelings come back after suffering, the moon is shining in the window, some hate.”
The lyrics of the second verse start the same as the first verse, which also gives the audience more time to understand these witty lyrics..
《The song "Half a City of Smoke and Sand" puts the theme on 'war' and 'love', which has a unique Zen feel..
Jiang Siming’s musical skills, dreamy lyrics and his unique Chinese singing style have become a classic that cannot be imitated or surpassed by others, and it is also Jiang Siming’s signature.
The song has a tepid rhythm and is calm, even with a lazy spectator attitude waiting for an imminent battlefield fight, highlighting the cold cruelty of war..
“Half the city is filled with smoke and sand, and blood and tears are falling. The broken cavalry has cracked armor and the pavement is red. At the end of the world, Yan reincarnated and returned to his old bed to bring you the flowers of February..”
The singing ended, and the lingering sound lingered for three days.！
The three thousand audience members in the audience were still silent in Jiang Siming's singing, and it was unforgettable..
I thought it was over, but who would have thought that a piece of text appeared on the screen behind Jiang Siming again. To be precise, it was a paragraph.
“The general's reputation has been ruined after hundreds of battles. He heads towards the river and looks back thousands of miles. His old friends are gone. The water is rustling and the west wind is cold. The clothes in the house are like snow. A strong man, the sad song has not stopped, but the birds still know how much hatred they have. They don't cry clear tears and cry for blood. Who shares me? Drunk on the bright moon？”
——Selected from Xin Qiji's "Congratulations to the Bridegroom: Farewell to Maojia's Twelfth Brother"》
The addition of this ancient phrase is really a wonderful touch！
When everyone saw this ancient poem and recalled Jiang Siming's singing just now, they felt even heavier..
It feels like you are still in the northern part of the border, and what you hear in your ears is the ruthless sound of swords and swords from thousands of years ago..
There is an indescribable feeling.
Jiang Siming's "Luzhou Moon" is written for the love between men and women, and "Old Enemy" is written for the characters in martial arts novels.
But this song "Half a City in Smoke and Sand" is about all the soldiers who fought for the country in ancient times. The artistic conception and territory have risen by N levels..
It’s enough for people of all ages to feel and resonate with..
