“When will the bright moon appear? I raise my cup to the sky and ask.
I wonder what year it is tonight in the palaces of heaven.”
Stunned!
The moment Han Jiangxue’s singing and lyrics came out, everyone was stunned.
What kind of lyrics are these?
Is it an ancient poem? No, looking at the format, it should be an ancient ci poem!
Did Su Yu write a ci poem praising the moon for Han Jiangxue to perform?
When everyone thought of this, they all stopped doubting and listened intently.
At this time, even some elderly people who had already gone to bed were woken up by phone calls and turned on their TVs to watch.
There was nothing they could do; these old folks just loved this kind of thing.
Hearing that Su Yu had new poetic works released, they naturally came to watch immediately.
And just by listening to the first line, “When will the bright moon appear? I raise my cup to the sky and ask,” they were captivated by the poem's grandeur and literary talent.
Meanwhile, Han Jiangxue’s singing continued.
“I wish to ride the wind and return, but I fear the jade towers and grand palaces, too high and too cold.
I dance with my clear shadow; how does it compare to being in the human world?”
If the previous lines made it difficult to determine whether these lyrics were truly an ancient ci poem, at this moment, it could finally be confirmed.
Many literati who loved poetry and ci poems were speechless at this moment.
They recognized and greatly admired Su Yu’s poetic talent.
But using such excellent poetry as song lyrics at every turn, isn't that a bit too much of a waste?
However, they didn't consider that ancient ci poems were meant to be sung.
Perhaps they should have said that Su Yu was neglecting his proper duties, not focusing on literary research, but instead dabbling in music and TV dramas—that would have been more convincing.
On stage, Han Jiangxue didn't know what these people were thinking; she only knew that she wanted everyone to know this ci poem that Su Yu had written!
“The red chambers turn, the silken windows are low, illuminating the sleepless.
There should be no regret; why is the moon always full at times of separation?”
“Shuidiao Getou! The ci Card name of this ci poem is definitely Shuidiao Getou!!”
Just as Han Jiangxue sang to this point, someone in the bullet comments finally reacted and accurately stated the ci Card name of Shuidiao Getou.
However, at this time, most of the audience and netizens were already captivated by the artistic conception of the lyrics and Han Jiangxue’s ethereal and beautiful singing.
Who had time to worry about what the ci Card name was?
After the stage performance ended, couldn't they just go to Su Yu’s Tribe comment section and ask?
And Han Jiangxue also sang the last two lines of the entire ci poem that everyone had been anticipating.
“People have sorrow and joy, separation and reunion; the moon has its waxing and waning, its cloudy and clear days; such things are hard to perfect since ancient times.
wishing we last forever, sharing the moon’s radiance across a thousand miles.”
When the last two lines of the lyrics were sung by Han Jiangxue, everyone felt their heads were about to explode.
Earthlings might not have felt this way, after all, who doesn't know “Shuidiao Getou · When Will the Bright Moon Appear” by heart?
So, what could be so shocking?
But this was Blue Star; they had not heard of this masterpiece by Su Xian.
Therefore, upon hearing this ci poem for the first time, they were deeply shocked by the grandeur, magnificence, and brilliant literary talent of the lines.
This was also because China has never lacked people with appreciation abilities since ancient times.
The culture of poetry and ci poems seems to have been carved into our bones long ago.
Good poetry, even if one doesn't fully understand it when listening, can still evoke a feeling of profound awe, like looking up at a towering mountain.
This is very magical.
And Su Xian’s “Shuidiao Getou · When Will the Bright Moon Appear,” the pinnacle of moon-praising ci poems, naturally best embodies this feeling of ancient ci poem.
“At this moment, I can only say, ‘Holy cow!’”
“Awesome! Are these lyrics something a human can write?”
“It’s a deification! Su Shen is truly going to be deified this time!”
“People are numb from listening; I came to listen to a song, but I learned an ancient ci poem! This is outrageous!”
“Next year’s exam takers, tremble! I blindly guess this will be next year’s Chinese language exam question!”
“......”
As soon as the song ended, bullet comments poured down like a torrential rain.
It was impossible to see what netizens were saying, which showed how excited and exhilarated they were at that moment.
Meanwhile, in the backstage of Yanjing TV, Su Yu’s phone had already been bombarded with calls.
The first call came from his future mother-in-law, Jiang Yu; Jiang Yu and Han Jianhua were watching the Mid-Autumn Festival Gala at the old man's place at that time.
After all, Su Yu and Han Jiangxue were both performing tonight.
But they didn’t know that Su Yu had prepared such a trump card performance for Han Jiangxue!
For Han Jianhua, this ci poem was simply stunning.
He felt that his son-in-law's literary talent was incredibly outstanding.
But for Jiang Hua and Jiang Yu, it was a completely different matter.
Because the longer one has been immersed in the literary field, the more one can understand the true weight of this ci poem!
It's no exaggeration to say that Su Yu could completely dominate the entire Chinese literary scene with this one ci poem.
And absolutely no one would dare to stand up and say, “I refuse to accept it!”
The Mid-Autumn Festival Galas of the six major TV stations concluded with Han Jiangxue’s “wishing we last forever.”
Yanjing TV’s peak viewership rating also reached a terrifying 6.31 due to this last song with lyrics that amazed everyone.
No one could have imagined such a high surge at the very end.
Even Yanjing TV, holding a trump card, hadn't dared to imagine it.
However, by the time the Mid-Autumn Festival Galas of the six major TV stations ended, it had become an undeniable fact that Yanjing TV was the biggest winner of the night!
When Su Yu and Han Jiangxue returned home, Han Jianhua and Jiang Yu had already come back ahead of them.
The reason was none other than the old man's immense liking for this ci poem, so he hoped Su Yu would write him some calligraphy, which Jiang Yu would deliver tomorrow.
And Jiang Yu? She received another call from the Dean of Yan University.
He hoped she would continue to persuade Su Yu to give a public literature exchange lecture at the Yan University Literature Department.
The Dean of the Yan University Literature Department was one of those who were woken up from their sleep and one of those who highly praised Su Yu’s literary talent.
However, Su Yu had rejected all previous invitations.
He always used the excuse that he was still a student and therefore not qualified to teach the teachers and students of the Literature Department.
But Su Yu’s golden poetic lines had never ceased, with stunningly beautiful poems that shook the literary world appearing from time to time.
Therefore, this time, the Dean of the Yan University Literature Department extended an invitation once again.
He even pleaded with Jiang Yu to ensure the invitation was successful!
After all, Jiang Yu was Su Yu’s future mother-in-law, surely Su Yu would give her this much face?
Listening to Jiang Yu’s relay, Su Yu also felt a headache coming on.
However, he seemed to remember that he had already rejected Yan University’s invitations twice; if he refused again this time, it would truly be a bit unreasonable.
So, he nodded and agreed.
But the time for this public lecture still needed to be discussed, and it would likely be at the end of the year.
After all, Su Yu going to the Yan University Literature Department for a literary exchange meeting was a big deal, and the school also needed to make thorough preparations.
At that time, who knew how many people would come from far and wide to attend.
