There are nine pieces of background music used in Songcheng Thousand Years of Love, namely Liang Zhu, Xi'an, Eighteen Send-offs, Memories of the Forbidden City, Tea Dance, Star Sky, Fishing Boat Singing in the Evening, A Thousand Rivers and Moon, and Spring Dawn of the Su Causeway, which are as follows:
1, Liang Zhu (played by Song Fei)
The whole piece is about twenty-six minutes long, with five minutes of narration on the theme of Liang Zhu's love, followed by happy school life. Five minutes recounts the theme of Liang Zhu's love, then the happy school life, followed by eighteen phases. From the eleventh minute onwards, the second section begins, with Zhu Yingtai returning home to fight against the marriage, the meeting on the platform of the building, and finally the weeping of the spirit. The second section is about the same length as the first, about eleven minutes. The final section is Butterfly, a recurrence of the theme.
The piece begins with a few plucked strings followed by a flute, as if in the clouds, as a way to open the prelude, as if looking down on the earth from the sky and plucking away at the clouds, the character scene from the blurring of the slowly become clear. First the violin plays the theme, two long and two short plus a closing phrase, long, long and far away, as if Zhu Yingtai is telling the story of the old days beside her. Then the theme is repeated once in the bass, back to earth and down to earth.
The orchestra plays the theme in general, and the scene is all understood. The cello, representing Liang Shanbo, also appears, and the two are in love. The cello harmonizes the theme, and gradually the violin dominates the melody and introduces the orchestra to emphasize it once more.
When the music dies down, the woodwinds take over and the melody slowly falls away. The solo violin's deep, soothing, and somewhat introspective tone signifies Zhu Yingtai's uncertainty about her future, but her firm belief in herself. Be brave and love! The mood is light, the flute is loud and clear, and the cello dances, like a spring trip between two people on a sunny March day. The violin shows its skill, and it's magnificent.
There will always be a parting of the ways, and after the happy mood, there will be a parting of the ways. Variations on the theme will be played slowly, like the steps that can not be taken, but ultimately had to leave. Cello duet, close together hard to part. At the end of this section, the strings play a weeping theme for the first time, predicting a tragic end, which constitutes the whole piece's presentation of "Love".
The second development section has three subsections: strong, weak and strong, or fast, slow and fast. The beginning of the orchestral sound, like a big wave, represents the opposition of the father of the blessing, and the downward movement of several bars in succession seems to say: No. No! No way! The violin violently fights against it, and the conflict between the two gradually rises, and finally the whole ensemble plays the theme of Liang Zhu Zhu to indicate that the love affair is exposed, and a wave of incoming waves will eventually drown out this theme.
Lou Tai will be violin euphemistically tell love, cello strumming to listen. The cello is the cello's turn to express its love, and the violin is the violin's turn to harmonize. Suddenly, the music takes a turn for the worse, using the "slow and tight" technique of the hooting boards in Yueju Opera, as Liang Shanbo falls ill and dies of excessive grief and despair.
When Zhu Yingtai was on her way to be married, she stopped at Liang Shanbo's grave to cry, and the violin cried out in a mournful tone: "Liang, my brother! Broken, broken mournful melody, there are cries, kneeling, which also has some memory fragments. Gradually tearful eyes opened, crying rested, the mind has been determined, in the sadness of the bass gong, plunged into the sudden burst of graves in the self-immolation, the music at the same time pushed to the highest climax.
The final part of the piece is the reappearance of the "Butterfly" section. Under the light and airy strings, the main body of the love is reappeared, Liang Shanbo and Zhu Yingtai are transformed into a pair of butterflies from the grave, and they will never be separated from one another as they fly freely among the flowers for their pleasure.
2, "Xi'an" (played by Noel Quinlan)
The lyrics are as follows:
City wall root, come to the bowl of noodles, thee color

The Tea Picking Dance is a song sung by tea pickers when they are picking tea and it is a traditional folk song of Zhejiang Province. It is a traditional folk song of Zhejiang Province. Zhou Dafeng wrote the lyrics and music, and it was originally the theme song and dance song of the modern opera "Before the Rain" of Yueju Opera.

The stream is clear and long
The scenery on both sides of the stream is good
Brother, you planted rice-planting seedlings in the upper and lower fannies
Sister, you were busy in picking tea in the eastern and western mountains
Planting rice-planting seedlings is a joyful experience
Picking tea is a joyful experience
The rice seedlings were planted evenly and fast
The tea is picked quickly
The rice seedlings were planted evenly and quickly
The tea is picked evenly and fast
The tea is picked evenly and fast.
The tea is full of fragrance in the mountains
You are not afraid of being tired when you chase me
Dare to compete with God for springtime
Oh, I'm competing with God for springtime
The streams are clear and the water is long
Busy with tea picking on both sides of the streams
Sister, you pick tea like a phoenix nodding its head
Sister, tea picking is like a fish jumping over the net
Row by row, row by row
There is a lot of tea picking in the mountains
All of tea picking in the mountains is very beautiful
And it's very beautiful. row after row
Picked leaves in the basket
Thousands of strands, thousands of strands, millions of strands
The strands of new tea release a fresh fragrance
How to pick the tea quickly and efficiently
The new tea is sent to the towns and villages
Sent to the towns and villages
Picked from the left and picked from the right
Hands and two eyes together
One hand first, one hand later
One hand first, one hand later
One hand first, one hand later
One hand first, one hand first, one hand first, one hand first, one hand first, one hand first One hand first, one hand second
Like two roosters fighting over rice
Two tea baskets, two bladders
Two hands picking tea, two hands separate
Picked again and again
No dizziness
No blindness
Shake a little bit (come on) a little satchel
There's tea for the year

Or caress your soul
7, "The Fishing Boat Sings the Evening Song" (played by Bao Bida)
The "The Fishing Boat Sings the Evening Song" is a classical style Henan zither The piece depicts the setting sun. The piece depicts a beautiful scene of the setting sun reflecting the blue waves, the fishermen at ease, and the fishing boats drifting away with the waves. This piece is one of the most influential zheng solo pieces in China since the 1930s.
Lou Shuhua's "The Fishing Boat Sings the Evening Song" is an epoch-making work in the history of Chinese guzheng art, which was developed from the ancient song "Returning to China". It was composed in 1938-1939. Once it was released, it created a new era of zheng music. After more than 50 years of performance, it is a famous zheng piece recognized by the Chinese and foreign music circles.
By Master Jin Zhuo Nan of Linqing City, Shandong Province, the traditional zheng tune "Double Boards", "Three Rings Setting the Sun" and "Flowing Water Stirring the Stones" were compiled into a piece named "Fishing Boat Sings the Evening Song", which became a famous zheng tune and was widely circulated. After the founding of the People's Republic of China, Mr. Lai Kwok Tsuen, a famous musician, adapted the zheng piece of the same name and composed it as a violin piece, which has been widely circulated all over the world, and has been performed by Lv Siqing, Sheng Zhonghua, and Yu Li Na.
In 1984, Pu Qizhang, a famous master of the electronic piano, adapted and played it perfectly on the electronic piano, and the CCTV selected its 1:36 to 2:43 as the background music for the weather forecast, which has been used until now. The background music has been unchanged for thirty years, and has become the most familiar and favorite music of 1.3 billion people, and it is perhaps the longest playing background music among all TV programs in the world.
8. "Moon of a Thousand Rivers" (performed by He Xuntian)
The whole piece is divided into three sections: first, the heart-stirring Buddhist drums, then a hundred-member chorus of Zen poems, and finally, the melodious, ethereal flute.
"A thousand rivers have water, a thousand rivers have moon, ten thousand miles have no clouds, ten thousand miles have sky", the cocoon of life after the turn of the tide, is the realm of life expressed in the music "A thousand rivers have moon". Music from the mountains and forests from the sound of wooden fish to open the prelude, the drums continue to come out, from slow and urgent, suddenly stopped at the peak. The majestic chorus of 100 Zen poems and the chanting of sutras accompanied by the sound of bells gradually moved from near to far. The distant flute sound plays the main theme throughout the whole series, riding the wind in the ethereal chi rhythm.
"A thousand rivers have water, a thousand rivers have moon, ten thousand miles have no clouds, ten thousand miles have sky", this line is from "Jia Tai Pu Lan Records, Volume 18": "A thousand mountains have the same moon, and ten thousand households have all spring. A thousand rivers have water, a thousand rivers have moon, ten thousand miles have no clouds, ten thousand miles have sky." (Song Leian Zhengshou), quite a bit of Buddhist verse meaning.
In terms of the technique of closure, the dynamic sense of "water" in the river is the "wave", the two "thousands" lead to "many", and the moonlight is the "moon". ", the moonlight for the "Lang", the face of no idle word throw barren, the bottom of the "Er" and "S" are virtualized, the face and bottom of the buckle in place, into a sentence hanging face, seemingly elegant The first is to make a statement of the fact that it is not a statement.
The author has proposed different riddles for the same material, such as "Where is the spring river without a bright moon" and "Qinhuai a bright moon", which also use poems and sentences to hang the face. However, after thinking and comparing carefully, I feel that the first sentence does not clearly force out the word "many" in the bottom, and the second sentence is a bit inferior in meaning, while the sentence "Thousand rivers have water and a thousand moons" uses the word "many" in the form of The second sentence is a little bit worse, while the sentence "A thousand rivers have water, a thousand rivers have moon" directly deducts the word "many" with two "thousand", and the meaning is better.
The author has always had high expectations of his riddles, and has often struggled to find the right one, which can be described as "a riddle that has been changed a thousand times before the heart is at ease". The difficulty of making good riddles can be seen from this.
9, "Spring Dawn of the Su Causeway" (played by Pingyuan)
Su Causeway Spring Dawn song is a purely musical piece of music for xiao, hulusi, zither and other instruments synthesized into a soundtrack.
