The Creative Background of A Hundred Birds Facing the Phoenix
The original song "A Hundred Birds at the Phoenix" has a loose structure and many running boards, and the whole song has almost no climax. It improvised canaries, cuckoos, golden roosters and other sounds, and added the sounds of hens laying eggs and children crying, vividly showing the life of nature.
Composers such as Chen Jiaqi and Guo Yazhi have repeatedly adapted and processed Birds of the Phoenix, but people have never liked it. After that, Mr. Ren Tongxiang borrowed from Mr. Chen Jiaqi's adaptation and incorporated other elements, which made it widely circulated now. Mr. Ren Tongxiang added a proper amount of birdsong to the song, and used the technique of circular ventilation to make the song more vivid and expressive.
