Usually, the Chinese pupils prefer to cite some literary giants’ poems, remarks or bywords when they are writing their compositions. I did this before. However, do you believe that some students cite the lyrics of Jay Chou’s songs in their composition?

In an essay-writing competition held in Shanghai, many students cited the lyrics of Jay Chou’s songs in their compositions. The judges randomly picked 1000 compositions out and found that Tao Yuanming (an ancient Chinese poet)’s poems appeared 28 times. However, the lyrics of Jay Chou’s songs, such as Ju Hua Tai and Qing Hua Ci (Blue and White porcelain), appeared 24 times.

Are the lyrics’f Jay Chou’s songs very good? Yes. I have heard Qing Hua Ci and the lyric is beautiful.

This is the lyrics:

青花瓷

素胚勾勒出青花笔锋浓转淡
瓶身描绘的牡丹一如你初妆
冉冉檀香透过窗心事我了然
宣纸上 走笔至此搁一半
    
釉色渲染仕女图韵味被私藏
而你嫣然的一笑如含苞待放
你的美一缕飘散去到我去不了的地方
    
天青色等烟雨 而我在等你
炊烟袅袅升起 隔江千万里
在瓶底书汉隶仿前朝的飘逸
就当我 为遇见你伏笔
    
天青色等烟雨 而我在等你
月色被打捞起 晕开了结局
如传世的青花瓷自顾自美丽 你眼带笑意
    
色白花青的锦鲤跃然於碗底
临摹宋体落款时却惦记著你
你隐藏在窑烧里千年的秘密
极细腻 犹如绣花针落地
帘外芭蕉惹骤雨 门环惹铜绿
而我路过那江南小镇惹了你
在泼墨山水画里 你从墨色深处被隐去
    
天青色等烟雨 而我在等你
炊烟袅袅升起 隔江千万里
在瓶底书汉隶仿前朝的飘逸
就当我 为遇见你伏笔
    
天青色等烟雨 而我在等你
月色被打捞起 晕开了结局
如传世的青花瓷自顾自美丽 你眼带笑意

The lyric written by Wenshan Fang is extremely fetching if knowing the Chinese meaning.

GUEST50163, here is the lyrics in Pinyin.
qing hua ci

Jay's music and Fang's lyrics match very well. If you listen to Jay's songs, you will find that most lyrics are written by Fang Wenshan. By the way, Jay Chou has directed some of music videos on his own. Last year, he directed a movie called "Secret". Perhaps, he wants to be a director in the future.

By the way, Jay just release his new album Capricorn. There is also a typical Chinese style song called Lan Ting Xu. The lyric is also written by Fang Wenshan. Lang Ting Xu was a poem written by a famous Chinese calligrapher Wang Xizhi. If you are interested in it, please take a look at this page: http://www.chinapage.com/lanting.html

This time, Jay Chuo chose it as the title of his song. I listened to this song. It is not as good as Qing Hua Ci. But the music video is pretty good. Here is an address where you can appreciate this song: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DHFF_HJAQqc
