The old man was a donkey, but he was a donkey.

Chapter 103 The horse owner didn’t know he was a donkey (Additional update 2)

Lin Jiajia was a little confused when she heard Zhou Yu’s new song “Rakshasa Sea City”. This time Zhou Yu’s new song is a completely different style, and the song is a bit obscure and difficult to understand. It uses a lot of stories from classics. If Zhou Yu is completely paying tribute to these stories from classics with this song, or just simply quoting them, she doesn’t believe it at all.

And looking at these lyrics, it always gives people a very metaphorical meaning.

“The fork pole of the Gou Gou camp is called Ma Hu

There is a nickname for the ten-mile flower field

She has two ears beside her shoulders and a three-hole nose

She turns her butt before she speaks

She squats in the nest every day to lay eggs

Old pink mouths think they are chickens for most of their lives…”

It’s not just Lin Jiajia, Wen Shiyi and others who are in a state of confusion when they hear Zhou Yu’s song and look at these lyrics. This song borrows stories from classics and is very metaphorical, especially this part. They always feel that Zhou Yu is using this to satirize something. But they can’t see it for a while. They have to wait until they listen to it a few more times and check the information to know.

Teacher Chen Mo listened to Zhou Yu’s song at home with headphones and frowned. This guy’s style has changed again. The whole song uses a duo-turn-like singing method. Although the lyrics this time are not as simple and direct as the previous songs, they are even poetic and beautiful. But the metaphorical method of quoting classics made him like it even more. Moreover, this guy just released such a song two days after retiring from the competition. Is it just a simple song?

Obviously it is not that simple. He has read some of this classic story before. Zhou Yu, this kid, is probably using this to satirize those who are against him?

“This kid, he will take revenge if he has a grudge.”

“He doesn’t even use dirty words when he curses people.”

He probably understood some of the lyrics. After seeing and understanding them, Teacher Chen Mo was happy. This guy is really amazing. His literary talent is good. How does the saying go? Never offend literati, otherwise you don’t even know how others curse you to death.

Zhou Yu’s singing continued, and Teacher Chen Mo continued to listen.

“That horse owner doesn’t know he is a donkey

That bird doesn’t know he is a chicken

The brothel has always pretended to be elegant

Since ancient times, the eunuch has a good reputation…”

After hearing Zhou Yu’s song, many netizens were also confused. What do you think of this song? They all felt that the melody and music were not as beautiful as the previous “Blue Lotus” and “You Once”, but they were a bit addictive. The music with traditional instruments as the main instrument made people feel familiar.

Especially Zhou Yu’s duo-style singing style made many people who like traditional culture like this song.

But in terms of the lyrics, many people were confused. They only knew that Zhou Yu used classic stories in this song, but they were a little vague about what he wanted to express.

“What is Zhou Yu’s song about? Not freedom? Not love? Oh, how come listening to this song is like doing Chinese reading comprehension.”

“Me too, it feels the same as not listening to it, but Zhou Yu’s song contains a lot of things, I just can’t taste it.”

“This is probably a metaphor for satire of something. You can read the original story and then listen to this song. You can know it in combination with Zhou Yu’s recent experience.”

Lin Jiajia has listened to it for the second time. When she listened to it for the first time, she had a vague concept in her mind. She only knew that Zhou Yu was using this song to satirize some people or things. But she was not very clear about what it was, so she listened to it for the second time and reached the second half of the song.

“A young man came from the west. His name is Ma Ji.

A handsome and dashing son of China.

He only sails on the sea for others and fights the wind and waves.

The dragon swims in dangerous shoals and drifts in bad places…”

Hearing this part again, Lin Jiajia seemed to understand something.

When she finished listening to it for the first time, she went to check the classic stories and materials. In the original story of “Raksha Sea City”, it tells the story of the Chinese Ma Ji who encountered wind and waves at sea and drifted to the Raksha Kingdom. Later, Ma Ji entered the Dragon Palace through the Raksha Sea City and fell in love with the Dragon Girl. The whole article describes an illusory country where people regard ugliness as beauty. It is a completely upside-down world. This article is also a cynical article by the original author, who cleverly uses the drunken town to point fingers and curse the locust tree.

Lin Jiajia feels

Well, Zhou Yu used these stories in his song, probably to satirize the entertainment industry.

For example, in his own experience, he was the strongest and most talented, but he was suppressed, while Li Xingyu and others were obviously not as capable as him, but were supported by capital. Isn’t this a reversal of right and wrong?

This is the case in today’s entertainment industry. The sissy culture is popular, and the H trend is prevalent. Many male stars put on sissy makeup, which is a bad trend. Even in the entertainment industry, those traffic artists who flatter, obey and let capital manipulate them, and have no business ability are becoming more and more popular. And those old actors who really make songs and shoot movies with their heart are not taken seriously.

Zhou Yu is using this to satirize the entertainment industry.

Lin Jiajia was a little excited, looking at the next lyrics and savoring them carefully.

“He saw that this country of Rakshasa was often upside down

The horse owner loved to listen to the song of the bird

The rooster crowed at midnight as the dawn

True love was mounted on half of the door lintel

Its wings were painted red and its skin was painted black

The rooster’s comb was embroidered with green and its hooves were inlaid with gold

But the coal egg was born black

No matter how you wash it, it is still a dirty thing…”

The latter part of the song is a repetition of some of the previous lyrics. When I first listened to it, I was still confused. But I roughly understood what these original stories were about, and I was immersed in Zhou Yu’s songs, combined with his experience and the entertainment industry, and I was able to understand it all at once.

Lin Jiajia’s heartbeat accelerated a few points. Zhou Yu’s cursing really didn’t use a single dirty word.

Especially the “that donkey is a chicken and that chicken is a donkey” written at the end is completely a satire on the current situation of upside down right and wrong in the entertainment industry. The last sentence is “It is the fundamental problem of our human beings”, which is directly sublimated. Yes, all this is caused by human nature.

After listening to it several times, looking up a lot of information, and reading the original story several times, Lin Jiajia finally understood what Zhou Yu wanted to express in this song.

She was a little excited. Zhou Yu was the first one who dared to satirize those people and criticize the entertainment industry.

I don’t know if those people can understand this song. If they can’t, then you don’t even know that Zhou Yu is scolding you. If they can understand it, that’s even better. I’ll make you angry to death.

He didn’t mention any names. You have to put yourself in it. That’s your own business.

“No, I have to make a video and send it out quickly to analyze Zhou Yu’s new song for everyone.”
