Dao Jian Ru Meng(Sword Like a Dream) is a classic representative work of the martial arts style in the Chinese music industry. It is sung by Zhou Huajian, known as the "National King of Songs", composed and lyricized by James Wong. Released as the theme song of the Taiwan version of Heaven Sword and Dragon Saber in 1994, it quickly became popular across the Chinese mainland, Hong Kong and Taiwan. With the image of "the world of swords and knives", the song uses passionate melodies and philosophical thoughts about the martial arts world to outline a martial arts world full of joys and sorrows, becoming a Chinese golden song that transcends eras and still remains a benchmark for the integration of martial arts film music and popular culture to this day.
The composition adopts the Chinese pentatonic scale with a rock music arrangement. The strumming of the pipa in the prelude is like a sword unsheathing. The roaring of the electric guitar in the chorus is like the clash of swords. The melodious erhu in the interlude implies the love between men and women. The style of combining hardness and softness perfectly interprets the deep artistic conception of "the martial arts world is not just about fighting, but also about the unending grudges and feelings".
From the televisions in the 1990s to the short videos in the 21st century, Sword Like a Dream always transcends generations with the vitality of "chivalrous tenderness". It has become a sonic symbol of the "martial arts spirit" in the Chinese music industry. It is not just a theme song, but also the youthful memory of a generation. When the sound of the pipa rings out, every listener has a dream of wandering the world with a sword in their heart.
