Yuhang, Qiantang, Lin’an, Xidu, Quanting… Dao Lang’s popular new song tells a tragic love story because there are too many “former names” in Hangzhou
Daolang is very popular recently, how popular is it? The title song “Luocha Haishi”, the most popular title song in the new album “Folk Song Liao Zai”, has more than 1 billion plays on the Internet in less than a week. What concept? It is similar to the first start of Eason Chan’s “The Lonely Brave”.
Not to mention the social discussion and onlookers caused by the grievances and grievances in “Raksha Haishi”, Dao Lang’s new album “Folk Song Liao Zai” really made everyone look up to him. Netizens said: “It’s not about Dao Lang’s songs. Vulgar? This time it’s elegant, you have to bring a dictionary to listen to the songs, and you have to read the vernacular version to read the lyrics!”
Why do you say that? Because the lyrics are quite obscure.
The “Liaozai” in the album name “Folk Song Liaozai” is similar to “Liaozhai”, and the titles of the songs “Flower Demon”, “Painted Wall”, “Painted Skin” and “Luocha Haishi” can also be seen that the whole album is similar to “Strange Tales from a Liaozhai Studio”. “Contact. For example, “Yiqiuhe”, “Gougouying” and “two ears next to shoulders and three holes nose” appearing in the lyrics. It is only after checking that it is written about the fictional country of Raksha in Liaozhai, where ugliness is beautiful.
Enthusiastic music critics also jumped out and said that Dao Lang is a really talented musician. For example, in this song “Raksha Haishi”, Dao Lang used an adapted background tune. Backer Tune is one of the main singing tunes of Tianjin Shidiao, and Backer Tune is also one of the four main tunes of Errenzhuan.
I don’t understand these things, but there is a song called “Flower Demon” in this new album that aroused my interest-Dao Lang used the evolution of Hangzhou place names to tell a tragic love story.
The Evolution of Place Names Used in Hangzhou
told a sad love story
Let me tell you about the love story in this song:
In the east of Qiantang in Lin’an Prefecture in the Song Dynasty, there lived a down-and-out scholar. One day, the scholar traveled through Lin’an North, and happened to meet a rich lady, and the two fell in love at first sight and made a secret commitment for life. However, the matter between the two was soon discovered by the young lady’s father, who was furious and ordered the scholar to be killed, and the scholar’s brown clothes were stained with blood. After the scholar was killed, the young lady was distraught and resolutely chose to die for love.
The love story between the scholar and the young lady moved Yan Luo Wang of the underworld, and he specially sent someone to allow the two to reincarnate in the Yang world to Hangzhou with the memories of this life, so as to continue their relationship. However, what is regrettable is that they mistakenly dialed the compass scriptures before reincarnation. As a result, although the two were reborn in the same place, they were cast into different dynasties. The two dynasties were more than a thousand years apart. .

When did “Hangzhou” first appear
From the ancient poems that have been circulated, we know many names of Hangzhou in ancient times. For example, “The southeast is well-shaped, the three Wu cities are metropolises, and Qiantang has been prosperous since ancient times.”
But Hangzhou also had names that we are very unfamiliar with in ancient times. For example, “Quanting” in the lyrics of “Flower Demon” was restructured by Wang Mang in the late Western Han Dynasty, and the names of counties and counties in various places were greatly changed. county”.
What was the name of Hangzhou in ancient times? When did the name “Hangzhou” come into being?
