Tan Jianci's voice is slow, and the lyrics are completely explained

Answer 1

The lyrics of "Slow Voice" could be roughly divided into three parts (marked in red meant repetition). The structure was: "Verse + Chorus" ×2+"Verse". Each part was "first to stir up interest with the scenery, then to express lovesickness".
1. ** Part 1 **
- Verse: "Green bricks accompanied by painted tiles, white horses treading on fresh mud, mountain flowers, banana leaves, twilight bushes dyed red, the eaves sprinkled with raindrops, smoke curling up from the chimneys, where are you?" The first five lines described the spring scenery of Jiangnan, and then led to the question of where the person he missed was.
- ** Chorus **:"Searching for the cold and clear moon, crows crying, the crescent moon falling into a lonely well, bits and pieces, in my dreams there are flowers, in my dreams there are grass fields", expressing the longing of finding but not seeing, only reliving the past in my dreams.
2. ** Part Two **
- ** Verse **:"Long hair leads to ripples, white cloth spreads out, stone rock kappa poles, long boat crossing ancient sparse eaves, sprinkling raindrops, smoke curling up, where are you, who is still in a state of wastage?" The first two lines describe the riverside washing girl, the third line indicates that she is already a white-haired old man on the river, and the fourth to sixth lines repeat the second half of the first part of the main song to express her longing.
- ** Chorus **: Repeat the chorus of the first part.
3. [Part Three: Repeat the verse of the first part to continue and strengthen the endless period of yearning.]

From an aesthetic point of view:
1. ** Image Combination **
- The scenery written in the lyrics was filled with the unique fresh and gentle beauty of Jiangnan, such as "green bricks, tile paint, mountain flowers, banana leaves, green grass" and so on.
- People who talk about lovesickness are sad, lonely, and infatuated. For example,"raindrops, crows cry" represents sadness,"crescent moon, lonely well" represents loneliness, and "smoke curling, ripples, ancient rare" represents infatuation.
2. ** Link to classical poetry **: From the title of the song, it has been linked to classical poetry. For example, it directly quoted Li Qingzhao's "Slow Voice","Searching for, cold and clear", and used "The parasol tree is more drizzling, until dusk, bit by bit", and also with Xin Qiji's "Water Dragon Song, Ascending Jiankang Appreciation Pavilion","Calling for the red scarf and green sleeves, to find the hero's tears?" It was also related to Li Yu's "Happy Meeting, Silent Alone on the West Tower", which read,"Silent Alone on the West Tower, the moon is like a hook, the lonely parasol tree deep courtyard locks the autumn."
3. ** Writing Technique **: This song fully reflects the writing techniques of "Fu, Bi, Xing" and "overlapping chapters" in "The Book of Songs". The theme is "a man's lifelong search and longing for a woman". It is similar to the theme and writing technique of "The Reeds", including the timeline (from "White Dew as Frost" to "White Dew Never Ends") and persistent pursuit (from "Road Obstacles and Long" to "Road Obstacles and Right"). This kind of euphemistic way of pouring out was in line with the traditional China aesthetic. It was different from a straightforward and roaring song, which gave people a beautiful feeling.
