Excellent songs are inseparable from image thinking -I think of Mr. Qiao Yu's song

Editor

The song is a microcosm of the era. It is a popular literary carrier that expresses national emotions and reflects the voice of the times. Excellent songs are inseparable from poetic lyrics. In recent years, with the increasingly rich form of song dissemination, the phenomenon of new songs is not "new", and old songs are not "old". Increasing attention. How to improve the "gold content" of lyrics creation, and the rich creation has left a new classic sound of the times? To this end, this newspaper specially invited contemporary well -known English writers and industry experts and scholars to discuss it together in order to promote the healthy development of lyrics creation in the new era.

Mr. Qiao Yu went to the west recently. The 95 -year -old senior left his eternal song with his long creative career: "My Motherland", "Let's Swash Patstels", "Love Me China", "Unforgettable Tonight "" Missing "," The Song of Peony "," Saying Shanxi Scenery "," Sunset Red "," Say Liao Zhai "," Big Windmill "... These songs have influenced generations and generations, becoming eternal classics. The best way to remember and commemorate Mr. Qiao Yu is to learn to inherit his creative philosophy and methods. This is a valuable cultural wealth. He has great achievements for the healthy growth of young authors and prosperous songs today.

Mr. Qiao Yu's handed down has two distinctive characteristics. One is to implement the main theme of singing the motherland and the people, praising life and the times. These works not only do not disappear and fade because of the passage of years, but the more bright and glorious; It is a large number of songs, high survival, and strong vitality that he has created the main theme. In different historical periods, a large number of popular songs are singing. This phenomenon is extremely rare. Everyone knows that the song creation of the main theme is difficult to create, it is more difficult to be recognized by society, and it is particularly difficult to spread for a long time. How did Mr. Qiao Yu create boutique creation with a constant length of more than half a century? To talk about it, we might as well appreciate the "Fenhe River Water" written in the early 1960s, which should be seen from this. This song may not be the most important among the many works of Mr. Qiao Yu, but the revelation given us is very important.

"Fenhe River Water" is an episode of the movie "Fen Shui Changliu". The film tells the story of a rural areas in Shanxi after the announcement of the party's transition period. We can imagine how to write down if we face this creative proposition? I am afraid that eight or nine will be written from rural cooperatives. But Mr. Qiao Yu didn't think so. First, look at the first paragraph of the lyrics: "Fenhe River water, Yangchun March watching apricot flowers. When the apricot is cooked in May, the barley wheat is raised again. Huang Chengcheng's valley ears are like wolf tails. "Getting the pen on the two sides of the Fenhe River, focusing on apricot flowers, apricot, barley, wheat, and ears of the ears of the season. Essence This minimalist pen and ink not only provide the composer with a smart music motivation, but also reflect the vitality of rural areas, and at the same time avoid the light to the theme, it can be said that it is one arrow and three sculptures. At that time, Mr. Qiao Yu was still very young, but his experience told him that in general, people only sang or only focused on the first paragraph of lyrics. The opening layout is not restricted to the event, which can avoid the migration of time and the possibility of the main theme work beyond time and space. Of course, movie episodes cannot be separated from the main narrative subject of the movie. The theme of "cooperation" is unavoidable in the lyrics. Mr. Qiao Yu's wonderfulness is that he is just right. Let's look at how the second lyrics are manifested: "It is the good crops of the Fenhe River, and the one who likes to cooperate. Thousands of households have a heart, and the collective thoughts are new. The old fence. "When the word" cooperation "appeared, first used the" joy to "as the attributive, and focused the tone on expressing people's joy and mood. We also found that this sentence has the pavement of "exaggerating the good crops of the Fenhe River", thereby forming a statement of compatriotic sentences that echo each other. After these two transitions, and revealing the ideological connotation of "collecting new buds for collective thoughts", it will not make people feel that the context is abrupt. However, if the lyrics are only written here, it is still inevitable that there is a taste of preaching, so I added a pen that came: "No longer sleepy in the old fence of a single door." This is a symbol of a symbol of a two -word double customs. Although the scenery of the small farmers' economy is beautiful, taking the collective road is the general trend of rural and agricultural development. Today, in the new era, "rural revitalization" and "common prosperity" are still our goal and theme of the times. Mr. Qiao Yu did not necessarily think of how to develop in the future, but this is the only way, which is more intriguing.

The third paragraph of the lyrics is the further explanation of Mr. Qiao Yu's attention to image thinking: "Open the old fence of the small door, and the socialist future is large. One horse first runs into the horse, and the horse is rushing to him. There is no affordment forward. "Comparing people's hearts to the rolling Fen River water is the lofty sublimation of the theme of the song. This sublimation is not a policy of raising or gorgeous words, but the image thinking, but the image thinking Water comes. The theme of the song and the film is like this in the artistic conception.

"Fenhe River Water Bad" has a sister article called "People Saying Shanxi". Mr. Qiao Yu's song is well known to people. Among them, "the left hand refers to Taihang Mountain, and the right hand is Lu Liang", it is often chanted as a good sentence for speaking. Pay attention to the use of image thinking and properly handle the relationship between art and politics. It can be seen everywhere in Mr. Qiao Yu's works. Mr. Qiao Yu's deepest masterpiece "My Motherland" and "Let's Swash the Patstels" have been discussed many times. The vivid artistic image is refined.

When it comes to the major theme of the motherland, four songs today have the most influence. According to the order of the age, in order:" Singing the Motherland "(Wang Yan Ci)," My Motherland "(Qiao Yu Ci)," I love you, China "(Qu 中国 我)," My and My Motherland "(Zhang Ni word). The earliest birth has lasted more than 70 years and the latest is more than 40 years. The reason why these songs are enduring is that they have a common feature is the image expression of theme thought. "Cross the mountains and crosses the plains, cross the Pentium Yellow River Yangtze River", "A large river wavy wavy, the wind blows the rice and flowers on both sides of the scent", "Bailing Bird flew over the blue sky, I love you, China", "I and my motherland, like the sea and waves, "One". These vivid and vivid sentences constitute the powerful support of the theme of the song. For decades since then, there have been difficulty songs that are difficult to count, and some have been sung for a while, but there are not many that can be retained. The reason is worth pondering.

The so -called image thinking is to grasp the general laws through the individual characteristics of things to create a way of thinking about artistic beauty. The writer's thoughts are expressed through the image. They are both similar and abstract. They are both clear and implicit. They are both instant and forward -looking. The image shaped by the writer is the dynamic structure of multi -dimensional direction, which has multiple levels: the appearance of the writer, the content of life, the image of the timelight, and the aesthetic accumulation of the psychological construction of the writer. This provides recipients with the possibility and reality of re -creation, and also provides growth and ending points for the extension and expansion of the work. In this sense, when the image is greater than thinking, the work has a long -lasting artistic charm.
