The Match of Heavenly Immortals Lyrics

Tianxian Match

Singer: Yan Fengying

Composer: Shi Bailin

Lyrics: Lu Hongfei

The birds on the trees are in pairs

The green water and mountains bring smiles

Never again will we be subjected to slavery

Husband and wife are bringing home the house

You plough the fields and I weave the cloth

You plough the fields and I weave the cloth

We are like husband and wife. I carry the water and you water the garden

The poor kiln is sheltered from the wind and rain

Husband and wife's love is sweet even if it's bitter

You and I are like lovebirds flying together on the earth

The birds on the trees are in pairs

The green water and mountains bring smiles to my face

Never again will I be subjected to slavery

Husband and wife are bringing back our home

You plough the fields and I weave the cloth.

I carry the water and you water the garden

The cold kiln may be broken, but it can shelter from the wind and rain

Husband and wife's love is sweet even if it's bitter

You and I are just like mandarin ducks and birds flying together on the earth

Expanded:

The Pairing of Heavenly Immortals is an ancient Chinese mythological love story. It was first adapted in 1951 by Ban Youshu of the Anqing Cultural Center, and one of its scenes, "Road Encounter," was presented at the first East China Drama Festival, where it won the Grand Prize.

Ban Youshu's adaptation changed the lengthy folkloric text into seven scenes, changed the seven fairies ordered to come down to earth for the initiative to come down to earth, changed the Dong Yong scholar for the working people, and changed Fu Wenwai Fu Shanren for the bully landlord, in short, simplified, and formed the basic framework of the text of the "Heavenly Immortal Pairing".

Ban Youshu, a graduate of the Chinese Language Department of Anhui University before the liberation of China, was good at classical poetry, and when he adapted "The Match of the Heavenly Immortals", he filled in many of the lyrics with classical poems, thus laying the foundation of the modern "The Match of the Heavenly Immortals".
