Inherit

Text/Mu Ting

There is no testimony, and there is no need to verify such a fact that exists in our daily life: a life is still in the birth, and the "prenatal education" must be poetry and music at first -this is the same choice of the Chinese nation.

On various occasions, I have always insisted on this point of view: The word group of poetry is not two "characters", but a whole that cannot be disassembled and divided. Relationship. Maybe they used to go each other temporarily, but always along a concentric circle, no matter how long it takes to go back to the origin and set off again.

Poetic is human nature, and music is also human nature. These two arts who are free between Ju San have one thing in common -even if they are not good at sending words, phrases, and five -line scores, they do not affect a person's sensitivity to poetry and music. String, always waiting for the hand of poetry and music.

Chinese classical poetry has always had its own way of spreading, such as chanting, chanting, etc., whether it is chanting or singing, the rhythm and rhythm of music are among them. But at the beginning of the new culture movement last century, or earlier, music abandoned poetry and sang. Facing Chinese classical poetry, the new creation of musicians seemed to be unable to start.

More than 20 years ago, there were very few musicians in China, songs, and singing in one. Guo Feng, Li Chunbo, Zhang Heng ... added more than ten together. Liu Zun, who is popular in the north and south of the river with a "Stupid Sister", is one of the people who are very popular and are optimistic about the public.

Liu Zun's dedication to Chinese classical poetry and poetry is inherent: during the student period, he tried to hum the poems in the textbook as a song; when he became popular, it was during the ascendant of domestic pop music. However, Liu Zun "intentionally missed" the opportunity to continue to be popular singers, focusing on creation and record production. With a little free time, I tried to continue the song of Tang Shi Song Ci, but it has not been made public.

I think that a musician, his entire process and the pursuit of the ultimate goal are the artistic achievements of the individual, and can only be regarded as a small musician. And can be called a big musician, the music workers who have sublimated the dream of self -music -to achieve the road of music with their own music. If you achieve the road of other people's music, exhaust your time and energy, and give your personal financial resources at the expense, he devotes himself to turning Chinese excellent classical poetry butterflies into modern music and spreading Chinese culture to the world with modern music ... Then he is he is The leader among the musicians is a big musician and a multi -habitat pioneer of the composition, production, and dissemination of China's outstanding classical poems.

Liu Zun belongs to the latter.

A few years ago, TV media, including CCTV, began to focus on Chinese classical poetry. The heavy strokes launched the "Chinese Poetry Conference" and "Classic Yong Zhuan" that the people participated in the whole people ... followed by, poetry activities around the country were surging. Among them, only "Classic Yong Zhuan" has made innovations, and took the lead in combining with music, and practiced "harmonious poetry to songs" and used popular music to interpret classic poems. At this time, Liu Zun has completed the song creation of more than 600 Tang poetry and Song poetry.

The songs of Chinese classical poetry created by Liu Zun are very different from the style of Chinese classical poetry shown in "Classic Yong". Pay attention to grounding, pay attention to spoken language and easy learning, take into account the popularity of spreading, and "" high mountains and rivers "that do not obey art. To be precise, Liu Zun's creation is easy to popularize, and the audience is more suitable for children at school age. Singing. Liu Zun is focusing on this. He is the best age group that thinks of learning Chinese classical poetry in one person's childhood and teenager.

I can't imagine that the songs of more than 600 Tang poetry and Song poetry must be different, and they can't even hear it. It is necessary to require the tunes of each poem to have unique recognition. What kind of music endowment, wisdom and wisdom and wisdom are needed. The ability to control notes? Intersection

In order to prevent many ancient poems and songs, Liu Zun chose to create the next day to avoid the shadow of composition during the creation. Strive for the new perspective, new melody, and new rhythm of each creation at each creation. Liu Zun hopes that the songs of Tang poetry and Song poetry they have created will be taught to the children. Children are the future of China. They teach them to inherit Chinese classical poetry to the future. When he said this idea to Beijing TV Station, he received a rapid response from the Youth Channel of Beijing TV Station, and agreed to open a 60 -minute column "Fenghua Youth" at the golden time of the weekend.

The "song with poetry" for children undoubtedly increased the difficulty of the transformation of Chinese classical poetry into modern songs. Music is no longer a direct interpretation of the original poetry. Some works need to re -interpret the original poetry. For example, Wang Anshi wrote "Plum Blossom" when he was stunned for the second time. At that time, Wang An was lime and chose to retreat to Jiangning, stay away from rivers and lakes, and do not come to the world. In such a mood, when it is presented with music, the melody must be slow, sad, and melancholy.

Liu Zun realized that if you understand the song in a simple understanding of the poems of "Plum Blossom", the children will inevitably be infected by the original and grievances when they sing, which is not conducive to the child's physical and mental health.

Liu Zun boldly gave the new music language of "Plum Blossom". The "Plum Blossom" that everyone hears now is the rhythm of the three beats. The melody is melodious and comfortable, and there is a faint joy in peace.

Although music is an expression of emotions and emotions. However, Liu Zun believes that everyone's reaction when they encounter adversity are different. Some people will shrink, fear, depression, sluggishness, and abandonment. "Plum Blossom" is self -metaphorical, which is Wang Anshi's self -affirmation of his political talent and strong personal confidence. When Wang Anshi saw the plum blossoms in the cold, his unhappy, dissatisfaction, and resentment suddenly became cheerful. From the real sense, Liu Zun conveyed a life experience when he taught "Plum Blossom" to the children: in the adversity, he was tough and optimistic to face difficulties and established confidence. Shape the child's sunny temperament and nature, so that children will always have hope in their hearts.

Music should not be a tool for proliferation and negative factors. Inheriting traditional culture is not to copy traditional culture. Musicians must be good at finding the righteousness in the original poems and promoting it. Liu Zun said.

I have watched the live recording of "Fenghua Youth", and a "Yong Goose" of the Tang Dynasty poet Luo Bin, which left a deep impression on me, and left the audience who participated in the recording.

"Goose, Goose, Goose/Qu Xiang Xiang Tian Ge/White Floating Green Water/Red Palm Plusing Qingbo" in the short 18 words, written a vivid picture in a peaceful life, each word is appropriately transmitted and expressive Exquisite.

We know that the more simple whether it is writing poems or composition, the more difficult it is. Limited space, the use of each word and a note must be extremely lacking. When the cheerful rhythm and pleasant melody sound, people will immediately immerse themselves in a natural life scene, hear the sound of water, and see a group of white goose moved to play with red palms in the water. Liu Zun’s composition can be said to be simpler, but the whole melody is only completed within one octave, and it is as straightforward as we speak. It is not so much that it is "speaking". Essence Liu Zun's songs are never the rhyme of the same frequency of poetry and life. Such songs can make more people, especially children who can read and spread the true meaning of more people.

Dayi Yishan,

The Yellow River flows into the sea.

For thousands of miles,

On the next level.

The Tang Dynasty Wang Zhizheng's "Deng Xun Tower" is an ancient poem that everyone can't be familiar with. Such a familiar ancient poem should be written as a song, and the listener's requirements must be very high, because even if there is a little place that is not matched with this ancient poem that is well known, it will cause everyone's discomfort and rejection. It also proposed a large topic for the composer.

Liu Zun deliberately adopted the rendering of the boy's voice "Dengye Tower" song, with a wide melody and stretching. The entire song uses a large -scale writing method, which makes the work diffuse a magnificent and full breath. The singing is high and the impact is strong. , Inspiration is constantly aggressive, climbing the peak. Such melody and such poetry content, from ancient times to the present, the spiritual sustenance of the Chinese people from the past and present.

An excellent musician, his composition, not only can the ancient poetry mean more profound and profound, but also makes the soul of poetry and music lively and agile at the same time.

Listening to Liu Zun's songs for Chinese classical poems, we are glad and clearly feel that Chinese classical poetry has a certain way of inheritance.
