. The peony depicted on the bottle is the same as your initial makeup
. I can see through the window that Ran Ran sandalwood is on my mind
. When I write on the rice paper, I put it aside for half
. The glaze color renders the charm of a beautiful woman, and it is hidden away
, while your charming smile is in bud
. The rain
and I'm waiting for you,
the smoke from kitchen chimneys rises
thousands of miles across the river
at the bottom of the bottle, han li imitates the previous dynasty, elegant
, just as I foreshadowed the misty rain such as sky blue
and I was waiting for you
moonlight, and was fished up
, dizzy. The bottom of the bowl is
, but I miss you
when copying the Song Dynasty. You are hidden in the kiln, and the secret of a thousand years is very delicate, just like an embroidery needle falling outside the curtain, the banana knocker causing a shower, and I passed by the town in the south of the Yangtze River, causing you
to splash ink on a landscape painting. Some time ago, I met a few friends who appreciate antique art, and in the chat with them, I talked about the past and the present for thousands of years, sometimes bronze, sometimes song porcelain, sometimes Ming and Qing furniture, which triggered my motivation to use those treasures handed down from ancient times as song titles. At that time, the first thing that came to mind was bronze ware, which was cast in the Yin and Shang Dynasties as the name of the song, symbolizing the truth of love with the thickness of bronze; To compare the vicissitudes of the world with the mottled bronze rust of a thousand years; Explain the mystery of the oath with the difficult inscription on the vessel. But when I just started writing, I found that the tune of Jay's "Blue and White Porcelain" was gentle, euphemistic, elegant and refined, so that my mind was full of pictures of misty rain in the south of the Yangtze River. At that time, bronzes were also made into weapons to kill the enemy, which made the word "bronze" seem too heavy and not light enough, full of the smell of smoke, so the lyrics that were still being conceived were given up before writing.
Later, I once again chose "Ru Kiln" as the song title, mainly because I was shocked by its unparalleled rarity. Because of the war, the glaze formula and firing process will change, and other factors, there are only more than 7 Ru kiln treasures handed down from generation to generation in the world, which is a national treasure and precious. But the problem comes again, because the pure top-grade Ru kiln has only one color, that is, "sky blue", and it has no fancy ornamentation at all, and its shape is simple and elegant. In my opinion, it is like the works of today's minimalist masters. Although it has a simple connotation and enduring texture, it always feels that it is not enough to describe the treacherous and changeable love with both love and hate. Although I didn't use Ruyao as the title of the lyrics in the end, in the process of collecting writing materials, I made the future because of the saying, "The rain has gone through the sky and the clouds have broken." I was inspired to write the first sentence of the chorus, "misty rain like sky blue." It is said that the saying "Rain breaks the blue clouds" came out of Song Huizong, because at that time, the Ru kiln was exclusively used by the Song royal family, and after the kiln official fired the Ru kiln porcelain, he asked Song Huizong to name its color, and Huizong royal approved: "Rain breaks the blue clouds, so this color will be used in the future. Since then, azure is the color name of Ru kiln porcelain. However, I later gave up using Ru kiln as the title of the song, except that its characteristics are not suitable for lingering love, and the name of Ru kiln is a little too sad. After several twists and turns, the title of the song was finally determined to be "Blue and White Porcelain", which was first burned in the Tang Dynasty and has lasted for more than 1 years in China's early years.
When I decided on the lyrics of "misty rain like sky blue", it didn't take me long to write the second sentence of the chorus "And I'm waiting for you", so the key word in the first line of the chorus came out: "misty rain like sky blue, and I'm waiting for you". Because the sky blue described in my lyrics can't appear by itself, it must wait patiently for a rain that I don't know when it will come, before it can appear as a sky blue in the clear sky where cumulus clouds disperse. Because the sky blue will appear after the rain clears, it must rain first to have the sky blue, but on the other hand, the sky blue is looking forward to the rainy day. Also, the reason why "misty rain" is used instead of "rainfall" is purely because the artistic conception of misty rain is more beautiful. I use the phrase "sky blue and misty rain" to counter the next sentence "I am waiting for you" in the vernacular, and I use the word "wait" in succession to emphasize that the most powerless helplessness in love is "waiting". To put it another way in prose, it is: "How can we ordinary people master the unpredictable weather?"? If you want to see the pure azure washed by the rain, you can only wait patiently for the rain to stop, just as I can only wait passively and quietly for you who will not appear.
This blue-and-white porcelain also contains the herb "Banana", which rarely appears in the lyrics. It is really because I have a special love for this plant. Just as coconut trees are reminiscent of southern Taiwan Province, palm trees are equivalent to warm beaches, and cactus scenes are naturally in the desert, somehow, for "banana", I naturally think of Suzhou Forest Garden in the misty rain south of the Yangtze River in the Song Dynasty. For example, in Li Yu's Sauvignon Blanc, there is a lot of autumn wind, the rain is harmonious, there are three or two plantains outside the curtain, and the night is long. In fact, as long as you carefully observe the plants that often appear in Song ci, the frequency of "banana" is quite high. In addition, Matsuo Bashō, a famous Japanese haiku poet, also took Banana as his alias, which added some literati temperament to this plant.
Incidentally, the usage of the word "provoke" in the lyrics is my famous revelation from Huineng, the sixth ancestor: "Bodhi has no trees, and the mirror is not a stage; There was nothing, where did it make dust? " Because "where to make dust" can actually be written as "where to get dust" or "where to get dust", but because the meanings of getting dust and dyeing are not as strong as "getting dust", getting dust and dyeing are just words that contact with other things, but the word "getting dust" has the meaning of inviting people uninvited, which is very active and aggressive and dramatic. Therefore, I use "knocker to provoke verdigris" instead of "knocker to stain verdigris"; There is also the next lyric that I use "and I passed by the Jiangnan town" to annoy you ",and I don't need" and I passed by the Jiangnan town "to meet you" in the same way. In fact, I have used the word "provoke" to describe the artistic conception I want to achieve in Nan Quan Mama's "Butterfly in Love". In the first paragraph of the lyrics, "faint years, floating back and forth, the screen provokes the setting sun ...", I use "screen" to provoke the setting sun "to indicate that the light shining into the room is inclined at dusk due to the obstruction of the screen, instead of the more expressive".
finally, regarding the meaning of the word "the banana outside the curtain provokes the shower and the knocker provokes the patina", let me explain the redundant words here as follows; After a heavy rain, the garden is green, the air is full of moist moisture, and crystal raindrops are rolling on the banana leaves. At this time, this scene is the most poetic; There is also the copper ring that is still embedded in the door panel after the change of dynasties and years of wind and frost, only with some rusty mottled copper rings, which is the most ancient. First, I used the classical Chinese phrase "Outside the curtain, the banana provoked the shower and the knocker provoked the patina", and then I took on the more vernacular paragraph "And I passed by that small town in the south of the Yangtze River and provoked you" as the antithesis. Because plantains and knockers are static objects, they can only wait passively for showers and slowly oxidized verdigris after years of erosion; However, the pronoun "I" is different from the banana and the knocker, because "I" can move freely, so I accidentally met you through a small town in the south of the Yangtze River, not passively waiting for you, but actively getting to know you. Therefore, although they all use the verb "provoke", their initiative and passivity are very different, and I have used three words of "provoke" in this paragraph, which have the same meaning, but different usage, which is very interesting. In a word, this song was written very hard, and the words and sentences were carefully considered. The whole sentence really almost reached the state of "increasing one point is too fat, reducing one point is too thin", but it is also very fulfilling. Next time, if you have time, rewrite this word "blue and white porcelain" into an essay to share with you! ... (laughs)
First of all, I would like to share with my dear netizens the creative process of filling in this "blue and white porcelain" in Jay's new album.
