The lyrics of Daolang's "Flower Demon" involve the historical changes of Hangzhou's place names, which are: Qin Dynasty (Qiantang, formerly Qian Tang) - Han Dynasty (Quanting) - Sui Dynasty (Yuhang) - Tang Dynasty (Hangcheng) - Song Dynasty (Lin'an).
The background of the lyrics of "Flower Demon" is taken from a lingering and sympathetic love story in "Strange Tales". It is said that there was a poor scholar in Qiantang East of Lin'an City during the Southern Song Dynasty who fell in love with a rich lady who lived in Lin'an North. The difference between the two of them made it impossible for them to stay together. When the rich lady's father found out, he was furious and secretly sent someone to kill the scholar, whose brown clothes were stained with blood. The young lady was so grief-stricken that she hanged herself with the yellow silk on her waist (i.e., the yellow on her waist in the lyrics). The king of Hades took pity on them and promised them to be reincarnated in the same place in order to continue their relationship.
However, the heroine mistakenly dialed the wrong reincarnation compass, and ran up the current to Qiantang, from "Song-Tang-Sui-Qin", that is, "Lin'an-Hangcheng-Yuhang-Qiantang"; The male protagonist went down the river to Lin'an, and the route of the two was just in the opposite direction. When the female protagonist traveled from "Lin'an" to "Hangcheng" through "Yuhang", the male protagonist went from "Qiantang" to "Yuhang" through "Hangcheng". After several lifetimes of reincarnation, the two of them missed out after all. It wasn't until later that the female protagonist was finally reincarnated back in Hangzhou in the Southern Song Dynasty, but at this time, the male protagonist was reincarnated in Hangzhou in the Sui Dynasty.
Although the two were reincarnated in the same place, they were always separated by thousands of years. In this way, I was not born, I was old, and after several lifetimes of reincarnation, they have never been able to get together. The heroine finally realizes that once the direction is wrong, all efforts are in vain, and she will never meet the right person at the wrong time, and she may never see her sweetheart again. Therefore, she decided to turn into dust and stay in the world, and never enter the reincarnation again, so that when the scholar passed by here in the next reincarnation, he could smell the special rouge smell on her body from the wind, and he could sense her existence.
"Flower Demon" depicts a more poignant love story than Liang Zhuhua Butterfly from a supernatural perspective and dimension. The song conveys sincere, loyal, fiery and beautiful emotions, which can be said to be an obscure whipping and wake-up call for the impetuous mentality of the current emotional world of people in the world. However, the lyrics of "Flower Demon" contain philosophy, and the enlightenment to people is probably not limited to love but not limited to love, and its meaning is far-reaching and thought-provoking.
Therefore, not only "Flower Demon", but also "Mountain Songs", which has been erupted by Daolang for ten years**, is destined to have a lasting and shocking artistic appeal and vitality.
The single loops "Flower Demon", chatting with emotion, I would like to pay tribute to the soul singer Daolang!
