This is my 84th Combined Paintingthat I have created / painted for Chinese Classical Poetry, and my 780th painting since 2003 ; also, it is my 175th assignment in Chinese National Academy of Arts.
This is the 4th time that I painted a picture to match the Chinese lyric poem Xiang Jianhuan - Joy in the Meeting by Li Yu ( 937 - 978).
Main Meaning of the Poem
Xian Jian Hua --Joy in the Meeting
By Li Yu ( South Tang )
Silent, climb the west tower alone,
to see the moon like hook.
Lonesome phoenix tree in the deep yard
is locked in the fall/autumn.
Can鈥檛 be cut to sever,
Can鈥檛 be combed clear,
It is the grief of parting.
An unspeakable taste is in my heart.
Silent, climb the west tower alone,
to see the moon like hook.
Lonesome phoenix tree in the deep yard
is locked in the autumn.
Can鈥檛 be cut to sever,
Can鈥檛 be comb ed clear,
It is the grief of part ing.
An unspeakable taste is in my heart.

Instead of expressing a happy feeling as the title shows, but it express the deep pain of Li Yu as a captive emperor.
Because the title Xiang Jian Huan - Joy at Meeting is just the name of the tune to which ci 锛圠yric锛� poem was composed, it is called Ci Pai.
Ci Pai stipulates the form and regulation of a Chinese lyric poetry, for example, how many words in a lyric, how many lines, what are the tones and the rhymes and so on in the lyric.
There are more than 1000 Ci Pai and tunes of the Chinese lyric poems.
Many of them originally related to the content when they were created at the first time, along with the time, the relationship between the original name of the Ci Pai and the content has gotten loose and loose, and even no any relationship at all. Just use the tune to compose and write.
The meaning of this lyric and its name of the tune has no any relationship at all. The meaning of the title of the Ci Pai and the content is in fact opposite.
Meanwhile, with a wonderful language skill,it expresses the abstract feeling of human being with a very visual words.
Since phoenix is a lucky bird in Chinese culture and it was symbolized the monarch, therefore, I painted this painting and make the bird to express the feeling of human being in a moon night. :-)
I translated this lyric into English and created 3 paintings to match the meaning of the lyric and the music in 2007, 2010 and 2012 and wrote an article to explain the meaning of the lyric.
This week, I corrected the article, re-painted the painting and re-sang the lyric in Chinese and in English.
I really hope that my effort will be some help with you to learn Chinese culture and language
