Chapter 565 "Bell and Drum Tower"(2/2)
The punk flavor of "Hidding" is very strong, simple, direct and powerful. Will it remind you of the "ruthless" legacy of Beijing as the ancient Yanzhao land? Will the beauty created by Saxophone in "Step" remind you of the tranquility and leisure in the afternoon of the old Beijing hutong?
"The Garbage Garbage" is a secret secretary who was well-informed about life in Beijing in the early 1990s.
The urbanization process has gradually lost the soil for survival.
The essence of hutong culture is a world of acquaintances, and urbanization leads to a world of new people.
The neighbors who were looking down but not looking up in the past were replaced by homeless men, beggars, thieves, and massage girls hang out with Zhu Bajie, who showed people the auspiciousness. The tranquility and warmth of the past were replaced by the noise and danger of today, just like He Yong's song: "People are like insects, fighting for me and strength in the inside."
The process of Beijing's modernization is a process in which the "hutong experience" gives way to the "street experience". If "hutong" exists for life, then "street" is created for exchange.
There are only dogs in the alley, and there are no cars and bungalows needed by beautiful girls. Only on the streets can cars and bungalows appear.
Hutong is a world of acquaintances and does not require police intercourse. The streets are a world of strangers. They need police, and they are policemen who are "holding pistols" and ready to attack at any time. The state machine's intervention in personal life has not been weakened but has been strengthened.
When streets replace hutongs, urban space needs to be rebuilt. The reconstruction of urban space means the reconstruction of order and the reconstruction of value chains. In this reconstruction process, the "hutong gangsters" are becoming more and more compatible with the underlying structure. The change of living space, the loss of identity, the entire life experience of "hutong culture" is invalidated, the strengthening of the control of individual life by the state machine, and the exclusion and suppression of the redistribution of interests has led to the decline of the social competitiveness of thehutong gangsters and the gangsters in the hutong gangsters, which has caused the hutong gangsters to panic and furious.
So He Yong shouted at the top of his lungs, "Is there still hope?" In fact, he was not shouting "Is there still hope in this world?", but shouting "Is there still hope in me?"
He is not doing social criticism, but his self-call before saving himself when he is facing a catastrophe. This is the entire secret of "The Garbage Garbage".
The record "The Garbage Garbage" would be much inferior without "The Bell and Drum Tower", and it can only be regarded as an excellent record. But it would be different with "The Bell and Drum Tower".
With "Bell and Drum Tower", "Garbage Garbage" can be among the ranks of great records.
"Bell and Drum Tower" is a magical catalyst for moving "The Garbage Garbage" from "excellent" to "great".
Although Lin Zaishan himself does not fully agree with this view, more than one friend in the music circle said: Luo Dayou is known as the "Godfather of Chinese Music" and has a car-carried work, but the "Stone" of Daming's School can sweep all the works of Luo Dayou. Similarly, although Cui Jian is known as the "Godfather of Chinese Rock" and has countless classic works, He Yong's "Bell and Drum Tower" can sweep all the works of Cui Jian.
Wen Yiduo, an expert in Tang poetry and famous scholar, commented on Zhang Ruoxu's "Spring River Flower Moon Night" as "a lonely article that is extremely profound and is for everyone." Wen Yiduo believes that even if Zhang Ruoxu only wrote the poem "Spring River Flower Moon Night" in his life, he is qualified to become a "big guy" of the same level as Li Bai, Du Fu and Bai Juyi. Why? Because literary works rely on quality rather than quantity to speak, "Spring River Flower Moon Night" is so exciting and awesome!
In the eyes of many people, "Bell and Drum Tower" and "Stone Story" can be described as "solate chapters". These three works are all dreamy, flying fairy style, and not only cannot imitate future generations, but even the author himself cannot copy it!
Many people now know Liu Xinwu because of his "Revealing the Dream of Red Mansions". Liu Xinwu interprets "Dream of Red Mansions" with suspense and reasoning, which is quite fun.
Many people only know Liu Xinwu as a "Red Scientist", but not as a family member.
In fact, Liu Xinwu was once a very outstanding family and a representative writer of the "Beijing School" in the 1980s.
In the 1980s, he published a "Bell and Drum Tower", which was famous for its description of the daily lives of ordinary citizens in Beijing in the 1980s, which was called "Along the River During the Qingming Festival" which was life in Beijing in the 1980s.
He Yong used music to create a work with the same name as Liu Xinwu, and his intention was very obvious.
Beijing’s Bell and Drum Tower is located on the north and south central axis of Beijing. In terms of practical value, the Bell and Drum Tower is a huge ruin, which has long lost its basic function of reporting time.
From the perspective of cultural value, the Bell and Drum Tower is a glorious monument, a landmark building that carries the glory of the past and the "central complex" of old Beijing. Therefore, the Bell and Drum Tower has the dual metaphor of time and space.
Most of the works of He Yong's "Garbage Garbage" play "emotion", while "Bell and Drum Tower" is not. "Bell and Drum Tower" has a description of life on site "The bicycle is pedaling on the fallen leaves, watching the sunset disappear, and the Yinding Bridge can no longer see clearly, and the western mountain"; there is a description of life details, "They are talking about the three long and two shorts of the family, and they are watching what brand of smoke you take out"; there is a reflection "The people working hard in the small restaurant are the villagers from other places, and their faces are like me"; there is a denial "Bell and Drum Tower sucking the dust smoke, letting you paint his face, I can't hear your voice, and it's too noisy and messy now"; and finally a question about time and space is raised, "You have been watching for so long, why don't you speak?", a metaphysical thinking and ultimate search "Who asked the question so difficult? There are correct answers everywhere."
Yu Qiuyu used all the vicissitudes of life and tried all the sensational skills that failed to achieve. He Yong inadvertently achieved the "Bell and Drum Tower" to write a sense of historical heaviness and a great feeling that goes beyond personal experience and sigh.
The lyrics of this song are well written, and the musical structure is actually very exquisite. It not only uses the three strings and flutes of the national musical instruments, but also incorporates the elements of Beijing qinshu and Beijing rhyme drums. Its use of traditional Beijing folk art is not deliberately or abrupt, making people sound very comfortable.
On this day, after singing "Bell and Drum Tower", Lin Zaishan's heart has always been a kind of indulgent feeling that he can never go back. He is in a very "chaotic" state, but because of his strong strength, he passed the most difficult first level with the level. He and Li Xiaoni successfully won today's competition championship on the beacon tower of the Great Wall.
