"Huh? Wang Yueheng also wrote a song for the Forbidden City?"
"Are you kidding me? Didn't Teacher Liu Huan just sing a song about the Forbidden City?"
"Isn't this tantamount to indirectly challenging Professor Liu Huan...?"
"The name 'Heaven and Earth Dragon Scales' is majestic and powerful!"
...
Immediately, the scene and online public opinion were in an uproar.
The judges looked surprised and astonished.
"Okay, let's listen to Wang Yueheng's new song together!"
After a brief silence, host Bi Chunjian resumed his憨憨 (simple and honest) smile and said.
"Rumble~"
Just as Bi Chunjian stepped off the stage.
The stage scenery changed once again.
The once empty stage was suddenly filled with torrential rain and thunder.
A magnificent royal palace suddenly appeared in everyone's sight amidst the wind and rain.
With its solemn red walls, glazed yellow tiles, carved beams and painted rafters, the entire magnificent building looks brand new, as if it had just been built.
Then came a powerful and majestic melody.
"I begin to paint this landscape."
"The bloodline of our nation stretches for tens of thousands of miles."
"For six centuries, the descendants of the dragon have weathered countless storms..."
Before everyone could recover from the stunning holographic projection of the Forbidden City...
Wang Yueheng's powerful singing voice resounded throughout the palace.
He was wearing a black Zhongshan suit and walking on the stage.
It's like traveling through history, strolling along the ever-changing river of time.
Taking the opportunity to sing about the Forbidden City.
Engage with Chinese history, and converse with the silent Forbidden City through the ages.
"This central axis of the capital region"
"Just like the unwavering integrity of a gentleman."
"The history of glazed tiles on the Nine Dragon Wall began with its decline and then rose again..."
In singing.
The sky changes color, and time passes.
People dressed in costumes from different dynasties moved about inside the Forbidden City.
Information about the Palace Museum flashes simultaneously on the background screen.
This is a building centered on Kyoto's central axis and designed with the concept of harmony between man and nature in mind.
A palace that symbolizes supreme imperial power.
Originally built during the Ming Dynasty, it became the imperial palace for twenty-four emperors of two dynasties.
It has a history of six hundred years.
The palace has a total of more than 8,700 rooms.
The entire palace has witnessed the glory and vicissitudes of the capital region over the past six hundred years.
"These dragon scales once fell to the ground with a clang, like shattered ice."
"A single scale reflects a heart."
"The story is so turbulent, I can't bear to listen..."
During the chanting.
On stage, the landscape painting swayed and shattered.
Scenes of foreign tribes rampaging through the invasion and wantonly looting appeared before everyone's eyes.
Under the bombardment of foreign warships and cannons.
The feudal imperial government was easily defeated and suffered a crushing defeat, with large numbers of people and the scattered royal army fleeing in all directions.
When you see this scene.
The audience members, both offstage and in front of the live stream, almost instinctively clenched their fists.
There is resentment towards the invaders of that era.
There was also contempt and hatred for the incompetent imperial rulers who surrendered without a fight.
It also expresses heartache and helplessness at the tragic loss of China's treasures to foreign robbers and bandits.
The once mighty dragon has fallen ill.
Severely wounded, it shed its bloody scales and hovered around the land, dejected and unwilling.
Always ready to leap up again and soar into the sky, roaring through the heavens!
The only thing that brings comfort is...
The Forbidden City is the imperial city.
Due to the conflict of interests among the bandits, it was fortunately spared from destruction by war.
It has been preserved intact to this day.
"A person who observes propriety keeps their heart at peace."
"The melodious strains of the guqin evoke the heart of a gentleman."
"I await the echo of the vast and magnificent Chinese civilization..."
Six hundred years of trials and tribulations, three thousand miles of capital city.
Even after being ravaged by war.
Countless people of noble character and lofty ideals emerged in the tide of history.
They are burning their own light and heat for this country with all their might.
Kyoto remains a prosperous and thriving city, growing ever more magnificent with the accumulation of its history.
