When I was a child, I didn’t understand Tang Bohu and the poems about Chuanchang. When I grew up and understood Cantonese, I read the old driver’s smile.

When I was a child, I couldn't understand the poem by Tang Bohu and Chuanchang in the movie "Tang Bohu Lights Up the Fragrance of Autumn":
"You plant trees at your grave, and your bathtub is mixed with fish. The fish, fat and fruit are ripe in my stomach, and your mother comes to cook for yourself. ."
I don't understand the very strange content, why I have such a strong reaction to intestinal penetration after reading it.

Now I have been in Guangzhou for many years, and I have learned Cantonese. I found that the original Cantonese version is:
"The Xian family shovels mud and planted trees, and there are many sharks in your pond. The fish is fat and the fruit is cooked, and your mother will cook it." The literal meaning of the original verse of Zhan "Buwen Ji"

is: The whole family is shoveling mud and planting trees together. There are many mackerel in your pond. When the fish is fat and fruit is ripe, grandma is cooking, and your mother also cooks.

But in fact, each sentence has a slang homonym in Cantonese:
"Xianjia shovel" means the whole family died;
"pond" and "ancestral hall" are homophones; ;
"嫲nianfan" is the same sound as "trou nianfan", which means good JB trouble;
"Xi" in "Your old mother Xi" has the same pronunciation as "閪", which means NMB.


No wonder Tang Bohu vomited blood at Chuanchang after he finished speaking.

In addition, Dui Chuanchang itself is a homophonic stalk character. In his self-introduction, the word "right" in the "King of the King" has the same pronunciation as "rancing", which means day. It means that the walls are given to him...

The Mandarin version only converts the literal meaning of the original version, and harmonizes the homophonic stems. It is inevitable that people are confused. Now I study the feeling and solve the doubts I had when I was a child.

In the end, I have to praise Huang Zhan for being a genius, and the lyrics and music are both perfect and harmonious. Without Huang Zhan in the golden period of Hong Kong movies, I think it would not be so shiny.
