You Were Told to Write Songs, Not Dominate Sinology Masters?

Actor Wang Yueheng transmigrates as a street singer participating in a talent show. His on-the-spot creation of "The Lone Brave" ignites the entire internet, helping him rise from a grassro...

Chapter 460: A Song for Traditional Chinese Medicine: The Compendium of Materia Medica, and a Prescription for Curing Western Worship (2/2)

"To inspire our national consciousness..."

In the darkness of night, Wang Yueheng unleashed another fast-paced rap performance.

A quaint and antique crossroads.

Five masked dancers stepped on blue stone bricks, their movements perfectly synchronized as they danced to the melody.

It showcases equally dazzling street dance.

Every dance move was perfectly synchronized with Wang Yueheng's rap rhythm.

The moment the new singing style was introduced, everyone in the audience craned their necks to watch.

In the puddles beside the stone-paved road.

The pale white reflection of the full moon seemed to sway slightly in rhythm with the music.

Strychnos nux-vomica and cassia seed

"Cocklebur and lotus seeds"

"Huangyaozi and Kudouzi"

"I care about my reputation."

"In my way"

"Rewriting history..."

Facing the audience, Wang Yueheng recited numerous Chinese medicine names in one breath.

This is a unique way of writing lyrics.

And the upbeat electronic soundtrack.

The audience at the scene and the more than 30 million viewers watching the live stream online were completely stunned.

"Huh? Were those the names of medicinal herbs he just read out?"

"Interesting, fun! I didn't know that traditional Chinese medicine could be turned into songs!"

"Culture has national boundaries, and he really brought that to life with his singing!"

"Was this premeditated?"...

This style of rap is simply too stunning.

This led many listeners to begin to have doubts.

Was Huang Yingze, contestant number 22, who was the first to provoke Wang Yueheng, a plant hired by the production team in advance?

This was specially arranged to accompany Wang Yueheng's performance of the new song "Compendium of Materia Medica".

"What what?"

"Is this Wang Yueheng's new song?"

Huang Lei, who had been staring at the screen, forgot to put the orange in his mouth and stared blankly at Teacher He's phone.

After a rap performance.

Although I didn't understand some of the lyrics.

However, this new style of rap music is undoubtedly significantly different from the mainstream hip-hop rap in China.

It's no longer filled with profanities, slang, and a jumble of foreign languages.

Especially when I saw that Wang Yueheng even incorporated lyrics from traditional Chinese medicine into his songs.

Huang Lei, who has always valued dietary supplements and health preservation, was full of praise.

"It sounds so catchy, I can't help but want to dance along to the rhythm."

He Jiong, holding his phone, couldn't help but gently swing his ankles while sitting on a small stool.

If Wang Yueheng were performing here live.

He would definitely sway along with the other person.

When I heard Wang Yueheng sing "Watch me grab a handful of Chinese medicine, take a dose with pride"...

He Jiong was particularly impressed by this lyric.

Officially, Wang Yueheng writes and sings songs with traditional Chinese medicine as the theme.

In fact, the song title "Compendium of Materia Medica" also represents the traditional Chinese culture, just like traditional Chinese medicine.

Including the most basic Chinese characters, the Four Great Inventions, and various folk arts with a long history...

It is the diverse ethnic cultural characteristics that together form the pride in the blood of the Chinese people.

I casually danced a short dance.

"You can't learn to move so effortlessly."

"The neon signs are all set up."

"Waiting to wake up in a magnificent city..."

The energetic and slightly humorous rap continues.

The scenes behind Wang Yueheng and his dance troupe constantly switch from ancient settings to modern neon-lit skyscrapers.

The colors of the costumes worn by each masked dancer also change continuously.

It seems to symbolize that traditional Chinese culture has transcended time and been passed down to this day among generations.

Every audience member was waving their arms and shaking their heads to the rhythm of the fast-paced rap.

Completely immersed in this unique rap song.

A relaxed and carefree smile appeared on his face.

It's as if I've been brainwashed by the rhythm of hip-hop songs, forgetting all my troubles.
