The song is Cantonese and Mandarin.

Answer 1

Cantonese and Mandarin were two different languages, and there were many differences in the songs.

From a phonological point of view, Cantonese had more tones than Mandarin. Cantonese had nine tones and six tones, while Mandarin only had four tones. This allowed Cantonese to have more changes in tone when singing, making it more rhythmic. For example, when singing a song adapted from an ancient poem, it might rhyme more in Cantonese than in Mandarin. For example, Du Fu's Spring Gaze, the rhyme in Cantonese was more harmonious.

In terms of cultural influence, Cantonese songs had a unique cultural status. Cantonese was the main language in Hong Kong. The Hong Kong music scene had a huge influence in Asia and even the global Chinese community, and a large number of excellent Cantonese songs had emerged. For example, Beyond's " Boundless Sea and Sky," Chen Huixian's " Song of a Thousand Watchtowers," Zhang Guorong's " A Chinese Ghost Story," Lu Guanting's " Love of a Lifetime," etc. These songs had moving melodies and poetic lyrics. They were deeply loved by the public and were widely sung by Chinese people around the world.

From a cover point of view, when Cantonese covers foreign songs, due to its rich tones and other factors, it can be changed into Cantonese without a word, while Mandarin covers of Cantonese songs are often difficult to present the original, which also reflects the difference between the two languages in singing.
