Guest Shanghai Pops Posted February 3, 2021 Report Share Posted February 3, 2021 Chinese New Year is just around the corner, and for me, it is about tradition. Following traditional customs. Eating traditional food. And listening to the nostalgic songs of the bygone years: the Chinese pop songs that originated in Shanghai during the 1930s and 1940s. This period known as the Shanghai Era of Chinese pops has produced a number of legendary singers and many of their songs have become classics. Let’s start with the songs of the most colourful character of this era: Li Xiang Lan. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Idler Posted February 14, 2021 Report Share Posted February 14, 2021 Chinese.Poem.Series: 问世间，情为何物？直教生死相许... Today is Valentine’s Day, a day for celebrating love. So what is this thing called love? This is the question that a 16-year-old Yuan Hao Wen asked when he saw a wild goose ending its life by crashing onto the ground after its partner had been killed. The wild goose’s suicide for love evoked so much sadness in him that he penned this poem in remembrance of its spirit. In Jin Yong’s martial arts novel, “The Return of the Condor Heroes”, this verse is the lovelorn lines of the character Li Mou Chou who morphed into a merciless killer after being jilted by her lover. The following scene is from a TV adaption of the novel featuring her using this verse as her swan song: Poetry Appreciation: https://youtu.be/dqTaFYKWuFs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Idler Posted February 15, 2021 Report Share Posted February 15, 2021 Composer.Series: Mak Chun Hung (麥振鴻) Considered to be the pioneer and master composer of music for the Xian Xia (仙侠) genre dramas which started gaining popularity in the early 2000s. Xian Xia dramas differ from wuxia (武侠) dramas in that the protagonists are cultivators who can attain eternal life as immortals. Here are some of my favourite music of his.

Guest Idler Posted February 16, 2021 Report Share Posted February 16, 2021 Chinese.Poem.Series: 我闻琵琶已叹息，又闻此语重唧唧。 同是天涯沦落人，相逢何必曾相识。 A chance meeting between a demoted court official and a songstress well past her prime. He was once a high-court official but now relegated to a district official. She used to be the most accomplished and beautiful pipa player in the capital but now played the pipa to curb her loneliness. Empathetic of each other’s plight, the pipa player played him a sorrowful tune that left everyone around to tears, and Bai Ju Yi wrote her this Ode to Pipa. The following melody set to this poem in 2017 soon became popular among students as its modern and catchy tune is a big help to memorise this 600-character poem. Traditional music style version: Pipa version: Poetry Appreciation Part I & II: https://youtu.be/7zxAOUgjvb0 Part III & IV: https://youtu.be/QjKNgLVpQ7U A different musical interpretation of this poem: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Idler Posted February 17, 2021 Report Share Posted February 17, 2021 Chinese.Poems.Series: 枯藤老树昏鸦，小桥流水人家，古道西风瘦马。 夕阳西下，断肠人在天涯。 This is a very condensed poem. The first part paints the scene of an autumn sunset: withered vines, old trees, evening crows, little bridge, running stream, inhabited house, ancient road, west wind, and lean horse. Just nine nouns stringed together without any verbs or other parts of speech. The second part conveys the emotional aspect: against the backdrop of the evening sun setting in the west, there is a broken-hearted wanderer on the horizon.
