Dao Lang's latest song,"The Rakshasa Kingdom",swiftly garnered widespread attention and emerged as a signifi-cant cultural phenomenon in China in 2023.With its symbolic narrative techniques,the song captivates audiences with its strik-ing symbolic texts and visually stunning images.It seamlessly intertwines the beauty of irony and allegory from traditional Chi-nese aesthetics with the playful deconstruction of carnival in postmodern aesthetics,showcasing an inter-narrative structure that juxtaposes the virtual world and the real world,the ancient society and the modern society,which reflected the creator's three primary subjective consciousnesses.The cause of the phenomenal level spread of the song can be attributed to its exploration of themes such as"individual versus group",the construction of an intentional structure"spanning circles and classes",and the use of a low-definition text that oscillates between elegance and vulgarity.By navigating the division between mania and hypoc-risy,the song accentuates the dignity of individuality.However,from the standpoint of composition,the song exhibits the flaw in its textual composition,as it deviates from the conventional path of popular songwriting and goes to extremes,which should arouse scrutiny and caution by literary and artistic circles.
