A little knowledge about the names of Song Ci Ci Pai

Ci Pai is the name of the format of the word. The format of words is different from that of verses: there are only four formats for verses, while there are more than a thousand formats for words (these formats are called word scores). People can't call them the first type, the second type, etc., so they are given some names. These names are word cards. Sometimes

several formats share the same word tag because they are variations of the same format; sometimes

the same format has several names, just because They all have different names.

As for the origin of Cipai, there are roughly three situations as follows:

⑴ It was originally the name of the music. For example, "Bodhisattva Barbarian" is said to be due to the fact that in the early years of Dazhong in the Tang Dynasty, women

went to pay tribute. They wore high buns, gold crowns, and necklaces all over their bodies (Yingluo is the jewelry worn on the body) ,

Like a Bodhisattva. At that time, Jiaofang composed "Bodhisattva Manqu". It is said that Yizong of the Tang Dynasty loved to sing the lyrics of "Bodhisattva Man", which shows that it was a popular tune at that time. "Moon over the Xijiang River", "Wind in the Pines", "Butterflies in Love with Flowers", etc. all fall into this category. These are all folk tunes.

⑵ Extract several words from a poem as word cards. For example, "Recalling Qin'e", because the first two sentences of the first poem written according to this format

are "The sound of the flute swallows, Qin'e dreams of breaking the moon in the Qinlou", so the word card is called

"Recalling Qin E" is also called "Qin Lou Yue". "Recalling Jiangnan" is originally called "Looking at Jiangnan", also known as "Xie Qiuniang"

But because Bai Juyi had a poem that chanted "Jiangnan is good", the last sentence is "Can I not remember Jiangnan", so the word card

Also called "Remembering Jiangnan". "Ru Meng Ling" was originally called "Recalling the Immortal Posture", but was renamed "Ru Meng Ling" because "Remembering the Immortal Posture" written by Zhuangzong of the later Tang Dynasty contains the words "Like a dream, like a dream, the waning moon and falling flowers" "The smoke is heavy" and other sentences. "Nian Nujiao"

It is also called "The Great River Goes East", because Su Shi wrote a song "Nian Nujiao", the first sentence of which is "The Great River Goes East".

It is also called "Moon over the River" because the last three characters of Su Shi's poem are "Moon over the River".

⑶ is originally the title of the word. "Stepping Lyrics" is about dancing, "Dancing Horse Lyrics" is about dancing horses, "Ai Naiqu" is about boating, "Yu Gezi" is about fishing, and "Lang Tao" is about fishing. "Sand" chants about Langtaosha,

"Ball Throwing Music" chants about throwing hydrangeas, and "Geng Lezi" chants about night. This situation is the most common.

Any word card with "original meaning" written underneath it means that the word card is also the title of the word and there is no other title.

However, the vast majority of words are not used in their "original meaning", so there are word questions in addition to word cards. Generally, the title of the word is written in smaller characters under the word plate. In this case, there is no relationship between the word title and the word card. A song "Lang Tao Sha" may not mention waves or sand at all; a song "Recalling Jiangnan" may also

not mention Jiangnan at all. In this way, the word card is just the part of the word score.
