Chapter 175: Song in Painting, Painting in Song

Xiao Qingfeng stood in the center of the stage, bathed in light, as if he were draped in a sacred glow.

The lingering charm of "Luzhou Moon" still echoed in the live broadcast room, and the audience's enthusiasm burned like a raging fire.

At this moment, Xiao Qingfeng smiled and said, "Next, I will bring you a classic Chinese-style song called 'Broken Bridge in Lingering Snow'."

As soon as he finished speaking, the live stream chat erupted in excitement once again.

"The title 'Broken Bridge in Lingering Snow' is a work that, just by its name, evokes the imagery of a song within a painting, and a painting within a song."

"I'm really looking forward to it. I wonder what kind of performance Xiao Qingfeng will bring this time."

The music prelude slowly begins, and the clear sound of the guzheng flows like a gentle stream, as if taking people to the ancient broken bridge.

The melodious sound of the flute floated in the air, adding a touch of ethereal beauty.

The addition of strings makes the melody fuller, as if it is drawing more delicate lines on this beautiful painting.

The rhythm of the percussion instruments was just right, injecting energy into the whole song.

The withered leaf butterfly with broken wings that cannot find flowers

[Never to see it wither]

[Small bridges and eaves under the night sky in Jiangnan]

[Unfathomable Wilderness of Northern China]

As Xiao Qingfeng's voice rang out, it flowed gently into everyone's heart like a clear stream.

Her clear voice is captivating, and every note is filled with deep emotion.

These lyrics seem to be telling a story of an unattainable beauty. The broken-winged butterfly symbolizes those shattered dreams, while the small bridges and eaves under the night sky of Jiangnan and the wilderness of the north form a stark contrast, showcasing the different regional styles.

The plum blossoms bloom with a lingering loneliness.

Spring returned, only to vanish again very quickly.

I'm left alone to watch the fireworks fill the sky.

[After swaying, it drifts away with the wind]

The loneliness and lingering beauty of plum blossoms in bloom, and their fading away after spring's departure, make one feel the passage of time and the brevity of life.

Xiao Qingfeng expressed this emotion vividly through his singing, making people immerse themselves in it.

The sight of fireworks filling the sky is beautiful but fleeting, just like many beautiful moments in life, which sway and drift away with the wind, leaving behind endless feelings.

Has it snowed on the Broken Bridge?

I gazed at the lake.

The moon's reflection in the water is as cold as snow.

Melts with a light touch of your fingertips

These lyrics are full of poetry, leaving one to wonder if snow ever fell on the Broken Bridge. Gazing at the lake, the moon's reflection on the water is as white as snow, creating a vivid and evocative scene.

The touch of fingertips melts it, adding a delicate emotion, as if touching that cold memory.

Has it snowed on the Broken Bridge?

My mind is reminded of your face again.

If we are destined never to meet again.

[The willow branches along the Bai Causeway shed tears many times over.]

When Xiao Qingfeng sang these lines, the viewers in the live broadcast room were deeply moved.

Memories flood back like a tide, those beautiful moments from the past resurfacing in my mind. The regret of never seeing each other again, the sorrow of the willows along the Bai Causeway weeping—all these feelings resonate deeply.

"Xiao Qingfeng always manages to surprise us. I wonder what kind of shock he will deliver this time."

The music prelude roared in, and the stirring drumbeats, like war drums on a battlefield, sounded the battle horn.

The powerful strings intertwine to create a grand yet tense atmosphere.

The sound of the flute weaved through the air, like a sharp sword slicing through the tense atmosphere.

Some loves are like a kite with a broken string.

[The ending is tragic, but the thread remains in my hand]

Some hatred is like a circle.

An eye for an eye never truly ends.

As soon as Xiao Qingfeng's voice began to play, it carried a sense of vicissitude and helplessness.

His voice was full of power, perfectly conveying this complex emotion.

[Just to fulfill a long-cherished wish]

How much more blood will be shed?

Words of Loyalty and Righteousness

A self-deceiving lie

These lyrics depict the helplessness and struggle during wartime, where people are willing to shed blood to fulfill their long-cherished wishes, while words of loyalty sometimes become self-deceiving lies.

Xiao Qingfeng's singing made people feel the cruelty of war and the complexity of human nature.

Some loves are filled with endless suffering.

The moon shines brightly through the window, its light ever-changing.

Some hatred is hidden but unspoken.

[Transforming wind and snow into swords]

The emotions, like a lingering sorrow, and the moon, like a broken jade pendant, create a poignant and melancholic atmosphere.

His hatred remained hidden, yet he remained silent, transforming the wind and snow into swords within his heart, revealing a kind of forbearance and resolute determination.

Xiao Qingfeng's singing voice switches freely between sorrow and determination, immersing the listener in its beauty.

[Half the city is shrouded in smoke and dust, and troops are at the foot of the pond.]

For whom do the clash of swords and the thunder of horses fight for the world?

One general's success is built on the bones of ten thousand.

How many white-haired people have sent off black-haired ones?

These lyrics vividly depict the brutality of war, making the listener feel as if they are on a battlefield engulfed in flames.

The saying "One general's success is built on the bones of ten thousand, and countless white-haired people send off their black-haired counterparts" vividly illustrates the cruelty of war and the fragility of life.

"I feel like I'm on a battlefield, I'm so excited."

As the song reached its climax, Xiao Qingfeng's voice became even more impassioned, as if calling for peace.

Half the city was shrouded in dust and smoke carried by the wind.

There's still a lingering attachment in my heart.

I only hope to retire and lay down my arms.

[I can still bring back the tea you brewed]

These lyrics express a longing for peace and a yearning for loved ones.

Half the city was shrouded in dust and smoke as the wind carried it down. The war was about to end, and the last thread of connection in my hand was a longing for my loved ones.

I only hope to retire from the military and be able to enjoy the tea you brewed for me again. This longing for an ordinary life is truly touching.
