Deep Love Makes Red Beans ＂Out Of The Circle＂ Again

Yu Lei, the chief director of the CCTV Lantern Festival Gala, said, "The creativity of this program is to interpret the story of Red Bean Born in the South into a new expression of the ancient and modern sense of singing. It has both familiar melodies and familiar poems. Imagine such a love story that has been passed down for thousands of years, and it is also suitable for Wunong's soft language landscape without tin."

Since ancient times, the poetry related to red beans has been full of romantic feelings. "The exquisite dice are safe for red beans, and we know we don't know when we are lovesick" and "Red beans are born in southern China, and this thing is the most lovesick". This thick red beans and lovesick feelings are the unique emotional expression of Chinese people for good love. The Lantern Festival is also China's Valentine's Day, and the romantic allusion of "Acacia with Red Beans" originated in Wuxi, a land of grace and beauty, full of romance and deep feelings. It is said that in Nanliang, Wuxi Xiangshan Temple, more than a thousand years ago, the crown prince Xiao Tong and the nun Hui became close friends as poetry and books, and gradually became sentimental. However, due to their different identities, they could not finally become a family. The girl finally died because of her lovesickness. The prince was very sad. He planted this lovesickness red bean tree in the woman's living place. It has been thousands of years.

The song "Acacia" presented at the Wuxi branch of the Lantern Festival Gala was performed by Li Yunxiao, an actor from Zhejiang Xiaobaihua Yueju Theater, Cai Chengyu, a young tenor singer, and Li Mengheng from Wuxi Xiju Theater. Previously, Xu Qianhan re created the Jiangnan minor "Wuxi Scenery" for the Wuxi branch of the Spring Festival Gala, and this time he carefully carved the familiar "Acacia". It is reported that more than a dozen ancient poems about the Lantern Festival, the moon or lovesickness are used or quoted in the lyrics, which are skillfully integrated with Wuxi elements. The lyrics, which are less than 300 words long, concisely show the humanistic beauty of Wuxi's millennium red bean legend, and express the feelings of lovesickness and reunion.
