"The Moon is Full and the Flowers are Good" is an interlude of the movie "The Story of the Western Wing", created in the 1930s and 1940s, with lyrics by Fan Yanqiao, music by Yan Hua, and sung by Zhou Xuan. It is a classic of ancient style songs, which has been covered by Teresa Teng, Fei Yuqing, and other people for a long time.

Since ancient times, the literati have had the sentiment of sending love to the bright moon. Whether it is a small poem "Silent Night Thoughts" or a lone cover the whole of the Tang Dynasty "Night of the Spring River and the Moon"; whether it is the "moon on the sea, the end of the world *** this time" or "raise a cup to invite the moon, the shadow into three people"; whether it is the aria of the history or the appeal of sadness can be very thorough performance want to The first is the "I'm not sure what I'm talking about".

The song "Full Moon and Flowers" is also like a small poem. The lyrics of the song, "A shallow pond with mandarin ducks playing in the water, a red dress and green cover and lotus blooming," are all very beautiful scenes. But look at the background of the song era is the twentieth century thirty-four years, 1940 Shanghai in the peak of the Japanese occupation, in addition to the tenant area a prosperous, Lujiazui and some sporadic village was basically the Japanese ransacked, then the Shanghai with a word to describe (excluding the tenant area): a miserable sight.

So when we listen to the old Shanghai pop songs, we can clearly feel the people's desire for a happy life, and the people's desire is also the extreme lack of. That's why we can hear from the songs that the flowers are not good, I do not know for whom the moon is full tonight. On the surface, it seems that the traffic is busy, singing and dancing, but in reality, it reveals a kind of unsettled emotion, and this kind of contrast makes people feel that the background of the time is bleak and the struggle of the people at that time.

In fact, it's still hard to hear the feeling of happiness and fulfillment in this classic song. This ancient style classic needs a quiet environment to evaluate alone, but the materialistic environment, stirring up people's inner restlessness and impatience, family responsibilities, career achievements, friends, etc. has been repressed in the heart, to see the flowers bloom, and sighed the falling flowers, see the moon is full, and worry about the lack of shade and roundness.

May our lives fade away, wash away the lead dust, to be able to savor the beauty of life, everything is good.
