This song should have two meanings. Let me introduce this song first.
In 1980, when the movie "Red Peony" started filming, the director found lyricist Qiao Yu to write the lyrics for the film's theme song. Qiao Yu complied with the request and wrote it in one night. In order to make this song closer to the protagonist of the movie, composers Tang He and Lu Yuan often went to Shanghai to watch circus performances and learn about various life details of folk artists. The song was drafted four times, and then Jiang Dawei was invited from Beijing to Changchun Film Studio to record. This is "The Song of the Peony".
Ah peony
The most beautiful among the flowers
Ah peony
The most spectacular in the country of fragrances
Some people say you are charming
How could your charming life be so full
Some people say you are rich
Who knew you had experienced poverty
Peony, ah peony
Who knew you had experienced poverty
Ah peony
The most beautiful among the flowers
Ah peony
The most spectacular in the Kingdom of Fragrances
When the earth is frozen
You are full of life
When the spring breeze blows
You bring beauty to the world
Ah peony, oh peony
You bring beauty to the world?
The first level: it is given by people Spiritual significance, according to the "Shijiyuan" record: "Empress Wu ordered a visit to Houyuan, and all the flowers bloomed, but the peony was the only one late, so she was demoted to Luoyang." Although this is a legend, there is also Peony Hua Linghan's pride and unyielding to power. Liu Yuxi in the Tang Dynasty wrote a poem: "The peonies in front of the court have no character, and the hibiscus on the pond is pure and emotionless. Only peonies are the true national beauty, and they move the capital when they bloom."
On another level: The emergence of the name "peony" marks the beginning of the history of peony cultivation. Li Shizhen's "Compendium of Materia Medica" of the Ming Dynasty said: "Although peonies bear seeds and seedlings grow on the roots, they are called "peony", and their flowers are red, so they are called "dan"."
