Discovering Du Fu in pop music:Du Fu's contemporary cognition and cultural interpretation
Extensive research highlights the contemporary significance of Du Fu's character,compassion,environmental consciousness,patriotism,and integrity,making his works relevant and worthy of attention today.However,there is a lack of detailed analysis on how the general public understands and perceives Du Fu in modern times.Shifting the re-search perspective to examine how Du Fu is viewed by the masses is essential for effectively conveying and interpreting his contemporary relevance.NetEase Cloud Music has a considerable collection of songs themed around Du Fu,revealing the popular reception of his image.These songs often draw from Du Fu's personal emotions,emphasizing his solitude and perseverance,and further extract a sense of spiritual strength from his works.This creates a unique phenomenon where people find inspiration from Du Fu in moments of life's confusion.Additionally,by referencing famous poems like the"Three Officials","Three Farewells",and"The Song of the Thatched Hut Ruined by Autumn Wind",these songs place Du Fu in modern contexts,highlighting the contrast between his era's turmoil and today's stability and prosperity.Such songs continue to focus on Du Fu's overarching concern for the nation and his empathy for the common people.However,Du Fu's more carefree and spirited side is largely absent in contemporary songs,indicating an incomplete modern perception of him.This is reflected in the generally somber tone,melancholic atmosphere,and persistent sense of gloom that pervade these musical compositions.Discovering Du Fu through popular music not only offers insight into his contemporary perception but also provides a foundation for further cultural interpretation of his works.This process con-tributes to the preservation,learning,and promotion of China's rich traditional culture.
