Du Qing(Crossing Love) is a highly representative work in Chinese film and television music. As the theme song of the 1992 hit mythological drama The Legend of the White Snake , it has become a collective memory for an entire generation since its release. Composed by Zuo Hongyuan (pen name "Gu Yue"), known as the "Godfather of Taiwanese Music," and co-performed with singer Zhang Huiqing, the song's melody blends classical opera elements with pop music styles. The lyrics center on the love story between Xu Xian and Bai Suzhen (a human and a snake spirit), outlining the romance of "love destined by West Lake" and the fateful weight of "waiting a thousand years for one encounter." It embodies the implicit and graceful aesthetics of Eastern culture while delivering powerful emotional resonance.
The song opens with traditional instruments like the guzheng and pipa in the prelude. The verse adopts an antiphonal singing style, mimicking the emotional interplay between the drama's characters. The chorus, accompanied by swelling string arrangements, elevates the theme of "love stronger than gold" to a climax, preserving the rhythmic charm of opera while aligning with the singability logic of modern pop music. Closely intertwined with the drama's visuals—especially in iconic scenes such as Bai Suzhen and Xu Xian’s meeting on Broken Bridge or the Flooding of Jinshan Temple—the music deepens the audience’s empathy with the characters’ destinies, establishing it as a benchmark for "integrating song with narrative."
