Meet sb. leave
Li Shutong
Outside the pavilion, beside the ancient road, the grass is blue. The evening breeze blows the flute, and the sunset is beyond the mountain. ? The horizon, the horizon, intimate friends are half scattered; A ladle of turbid wine makes me happy. Say goodbye to Meng Han tonight. ? Outside the pavilion, beside the ancient road, the grass is blue. The evening breeze blows the flute, and the sunset is beyond the mountain.
Creative background:
19 15, Li Shutong, a teacher of Hangzhou No.1 Normal University, wrote this famous song "Farewell". It belongs to "School Music Songs" written by Li Shutong in his early years. The so-called "school music songs" refer to a group of ambitious intellectuals in the late Qing Dynasty and early Ming Dynasty, who preached the great role of music in ideological enlightenment and actively advocated setting up music classes in schools. At the same time, some young students studying in Japan filled in new words and created new songs with tunes popular in Japan and Europe and America at that time. In addition, "School Music Songs" often fill new lyrics with China's classical poems.
Appreciate:
Li Shutong's "Farewell" has these distinctive characteristics of "school songs": one is to write lyrics in the style of classical poetry, and the other is to choose American pop tunes for music. If you don't understand these backgrounds, you will inevitably feel confused and puzzled about some characteristics of Farewell that are different from modern songs. ? Writing poems to bid farewell to friends is a basic motif of China's classical poems. Farewell poems are an important part of Tang poetry and Song poetry.
Farewell is divided into three paragraphs. The first paragraph is "writing scenery", describing the specific scenes of farewell outside the pavilion and by the ancient road; The second paragraph is lyric, expressing the sadness of knowing yourself and yourself and falling into the end of the world; The third paragraph is a repetition of the first paragraph, but it is not. It is the repetition of words and the sublimation of meaning: I experienced "seeing my friends off" and realized that life is short, like the sunset, full of biting cold. The whole lyrics are filled with a strong sense of emptiness in life and a deep hint of epiphany.
In a word, "Farewell" actually conveys Li Shutong's consciousness of seeing friends off, understanding life and seeing through the world of mortals with a symbol with no clear meaning. Therefore, "Farewell" is not just a farewell eulogy among friends; But a "prelude" for Li Shutong to become a monk.
