Chi Ling is a representative work of Chinese style that takes the Beijing Opera vocal style as its soul and integrates pop music. Sung by the singer HITA, after its release in 2018, it quickly topped various music charts and became a landmark work of the "breaking through the circle of traditional Chinese style music". The title "Chi Ling" means "sincere actor". It interprets the great righteousness of the family and the country from the perspective of opera artists, activates the genes of traditional culture with modern musical language, and has both artistic value and emotional resonance.
The inspiration for the song comes from a folk legend: During the Anti-Japanese War, a certain opera troupe was forced by the Japanese invaders to stage The Peach Blossom Fan . However, they used the lyrics "The courtesans do not know the hatred of the fallen country" to satirize the invaders. In the end, all the artists regarded their opera costumes as armor and their singing voices as blades, sacrificing themselves together with the enemy. The lyrics "位卑未敢忘忧国" and "怎知戏子也有心" strike a chord with people, subverting the stereotype of "actors being heartless", and creating a group image of heroes with "great feelings of ordinary people". It is not only a tribute to the ordinary guardians in history but also coincides with the value recognition of contemporary youth for "responsibility and commitment".
The musical score of this song is in the key of B. Theoretically, it should be played with a B-tuned flute and the tube tone as 5. However, B-tuned flutes are not common. Therefore, it is more common to transpose it up one key and play it with a C-tuned flute and the tube tone as 5.
