Year after year, I traveled in all directions.
Snow and frost are lush, buds sprout in winter,
Gentlemen's defense, offspring prosperous.
Recorded a new song on the last day of last year.
All kinds of flowers around it, its smell is so fragrant.
Not picking but wearing, what harm is there for the orchid?
Faye Wong
The theme song of Confucius was sung by Faye Wong, the Queen of Songs. Plus the Emperor Chow Yun-fat and Empress Zhou Xun, the unprecedented cast first gathered on the big screen.
It is reported that the theme song of Confucius is called The Orchid Ode. It was said that the ancient poem "Orchid Ode" (also known as Yi Lan Ode) was a masterpiece of the versatile Confucius who lamented his times. In addition, he loved orchids and had the words that orchids were aromatic for kings. The famous Tang poet Han Yu once sang Confucius with the same name work. And the lyrics of the film's theme song were adapted from Han Yu's immortal poems, only 64 words.
The lyrics come from Han Yu's poems.
The Orchid Ode Lyrics
King Wen played with jade, Wei River vast.
It is reported that as early as April last year, when the film Confucius started filming, the crew and Faye Wong had been in contact. Both sides formed teams to conduct in-depth research on the music style, music and lyrics of the theme song. After repeated revisions of the lyrics and music, it was finally recorded on December 31, 2009. According to the production company, the reason why Faye Wong was chosen to sing it in the end was because only the ethereal and distant voice of the Queen of Songs could express the beauty that connects the world with the sky.
