On the Principle of the Second Creation of Willing to be Lingnan People Forever

The expression of the ancient poem Willing to be Lingnan People Forever is concise, jumping, gorgeous and aesthetic. The meaning of the poem is very obscure and contains multiple connotations under the poet’s deliberate action. When it is adapted as a song by contemporary composers, its connotation is richer and emotion is fuller after the singer’s second creation. The principle of second creation is not only a rule, but also a method in the process of performing the song. The ingenious creation provides more inspiration and thinking for the singers and researchers.
