Why is Xiahou Yaoyao's song Chinese style, first of all, we have to start from the difference between Chinese style and ancient style.

In terms of the difference between Chinese style and ancient style, Li Youyang remembers that there is a netizen on the earth who said it very thoroughly, and to a certain extent, it has become an official explanation.

He said,

First of all, he believes that according to the current situation at that time, it is impossible to say who includes whom.

Because, Chinese style, literally interpreted as Chinese music style. She is Chinese music in the new era. However, as we all know, many ancient styles use foreign music, such as cold clothes tunes, green lotus snow, etc. Therefore, this alone cannot be said to mean that Chinese style includes ancient style. And if the ancient style includes the Chinese style, then there is no reason for it.?

So what are the characteristics of archaic songs?

The netizen said that the earliest ancient style probably started in the game, and players filled in the lyrics and sang covers, among which the heart of the earth's Chinese music scene is the most famous. There are also representative teams of ancient songs, such as Mo Ming Qimiao, Thousand Songs Weiyang, Canghai Music Tea, etc. The representatives of Chinese style include Jay Chou, Xu Song, Hou Xian, etc.

At the same time, the characteristics of ancient style songs are the increasingly popular recitation and copywriting, which is not found in Chinese style songs. At the same time, the lyrics of ancient songs pay more attention to phrasing and rhyme, which is more difficult to understand than Chinese style. Ancient songs, many lyrics use the poems of the ancients, the most typical is the Finale of Mocun. At that time, most of the ancient style circles used other people's music accompaniment to fill in the lyrics, resulting in countless versions of a tune. And even if you rewrite the tune, there will be similarities. Since many ancient songs are changed from tunes, there are so-called ancient covers.

And here is the main difference between ancient style songs and Chinese style songs:

1. Chinese style RNB is very common, and it can be said that there are almost no in ancient style.

2. There are many covers of ancient songs, and there are countless versions of one tune. And Chinese style is rare.

3. The generation of Chinese style is undoubtedly earlier than the ancient style, and Chinese style songs have appeared in the eighties, and there was no concept of ancient style songs at that time.

4. Tune, which is the biggest difference between the two. But what exactly the tunes are different is hard to say in words. This can listen to the Chinese style of Xu Song, Jay Chou and others, both of whom are original in tune. Then listen to the arrangers of ancient songs, such as Thousand Grass Fairy, Perfect Fairy Sword, Tu Youqin, etc. Comparatively speaking, the tone of the Chinese style is faster than that of the ancient style.

5. Lyrics, this is also a big difference. Obviously, the Chinese-style lyrics are more vernacular than the old-fashioned songs. Many ancient lyrics use ancient poems, and they also pay more attention to phrasing and rhyme.

6. Reading white and copywriting, this is the increasingly popular feature of ancient style songs, which is not in Chinese style.

7. Most of the ancient style songs have a story background, which is very story-like compared with the Chinese style. Although some of the Chinese style also has a story background, there are few of them.

8. The difference in scope, Chinese style is involved in the entertainment industry, while ancient style songs are only developed on the Internet. Long before Jay Chou, songs with a sense of Chinese style appeared in the entertainment industry, and ancient style has always only developed in its own circle.

9. The use of musical instruments, in fact, with the development of Chinese style and ancient style, musical instruments and key are no longer distinguished, both use traditional Chinese national musical instruments, and the five tones are no longer limited. The 4 (fa) and 7 (xi), which are not present in the pentatonic notes, have appeared in many songs, as you can see in the score post in the bar.

Finally, the question of the difference between Chinese style and ancient style is really a bit reluctant if you have to say it in words, and the best way to distinguish it is to listen to both and it will be clear.

At the same time, the netizen finally said that whether it is ancient style or Chinese style, it is very worth listening to. And every singer, whether it is to your liking or not, should be respected, and hopefully anyone can listen quietly. This also returns to the origin of music, there is no genre in music, and there is no need to distinguish ancient style and Chinese style, and even traditional folk songs and pop music so clearly, because in a sense, fans do not listen to genres, but whether the work is excellent itself

The above is a very clear division between Chinese style and ancient style by the netizen on the earth. And why did Li Youyang think of the difference between Chinese style and ancient style in the first place?

Or is it because of Xiahou Yaoyao's song "A Farewell is a Year", after this song was sung, he then also knew that the title of the song was "A Farewell has been a year", Xiahou Yaoyao took the first sentence of Nianbai "A farewell has been a year".

But it is precisely because of the beginning of this paragraph, and the recitation that sounded at the end, that Li Youyang first thought that this song should be an ancient style music, and he was a little emotional at the beginning, it seems that this folk song queen has deviated abroad over the years, not only has she not returned to traditional folk songs, but she has not even continued to carry forward songs with strong Chinese style like "Butterfly Spring". On the contrary, he suddenly ran into the circle of ancient style, which is not to say that there is anything wrong with the transformation of ancient style, but to say that for a singer, it is not his anti-heaven existence, such frequent transformation is really not necessarily a good thing for a singer.

Because, after all, not every innovation or attempt must be to remove the false and keep the true, and it is possible to let yourself get lost in a different but equally excellent style.

Therefore, in Li Youyang's opinion at the beginning, Xiahou Yaoyao was a little lost, because, after all, reading white is a characteristic of ancient style songs, and from this point alone, Li Youyang felt that Xiahou Yaoyao might have run into the ancient style circle again. This queen of folk songs is really out of business.

However, when the whole song sounded, Li Youyang quickly reversed his opinion.

Why?

The first point is that this song is really good, super good, especially in the orchestration, the proportion of Western and electroacoustic instruments used is huge, basically half Western instruments and half ethnic instruments, which is the characteristic of Chinese style; The "ancient style" emphasizes the use of national musical instruments and electronic synthesizers.

Second, the rhythm of this piece is more fashionable, more in line with the tastes of most contemporary people, and can be accepted by the new generation of young people. And the "ancient style" is sometimes not acceptable to most people in this regard. As mentioned above, most of the ancient styles are filled in with the accompaniment of existing oriental-style tunes from Chinese folk originals or from Japan, resulting in many versions of the same tune. And even if it's a rewritten tune, there will be similarities. And because many ancient songs are re-arranged, there are a lot of ancient covers, and in this regard, Chinese-style songs have less of this quality. (To be continued.) )
