Zhou Xuan appeared on Shanghai’s entertainment scene at exactly the right time. But her good fortune didn’t last.

was a Chinese singer and film actress. By the 1940s, she had become one of China's Seven Great Singing Stars. Nicknamed the "Golden Voice" (金嗓子; Jīn sǎng zi), she was the best known of the seven, and had a concurrent movie career until 1954.

月圆花好 (the moon is full, the flowers bloom) - english translation

Composed by 严华 Yan Hua, lyrics by 范烟桥 Fan Yanqiao, originally released in 1940 and sung by 周璇 Zhou Xuan. This is a very classic song that has been covered, adapted, remixed, etc by countless artists through the years.

I'm including Zhou Xuan's version, plus a few covers I like. 霍尊 Huo Zun's is a personal favorite.

浮云散，明月照人来 团圆美满今朝最 清浅池塘，鸳鸯戏水 红裳翠盖，并蒂莲开 双双对对，恩恩爱爱 这软风儿向着好花吹 柔情蜜意满人间

Floating clouds scatter, a bright moon lights our way Today, reunion’s bliss is unmatched A clear, shallow pond; mandarin ducks frolic Red garments, jade caps, twin lotuses unfurled as one In pairs, in sets, in perfect love This soft wind blows towards flowers in bloom This world brims with honeyed tenderness

--

t/n:

花好月圆’s literal meaning is “the flowers are blooming and the moon is full”. It is both a metaphor for beauty and perfection as well as an idiom representing conjugal bliss. It is often used to congratulate people on their wedding. It first appeared in a Song dynasty poem by 张先 Zhang Xian, 《木兰花·人意共怜花月满》magnolia blossom: peoples’ hearts pity the flowers and the moonlight (figuratively: everyone has sympathy for one another)

This song is full of marital metaphors from classic literature: mandarin ducks symbolize eternal love; 红裳 (“red garments”) often refer to a beautiful woman; 并蒂莲开 (“twin lotuses unfurled as one”) refers to when two lotuses bloom on a single stalk, but in classic literature represents the harmony or love between a married couple. Red and jade blue or green are also traditional wedding colors—there is another figure of speech, 红男绿女 (“men in red, women in green”) that references this, although who between the bride and groom wore red or jade has swapped throughout history.

the four great families..... and acquaintances

I shall take any request that was put forward and update the post with each new addition.

Perhaps we will end up with a global, international, "family tree"/relationship chart, perhaps this post will go under, no one knows.

But here it is:

I should perhaps still mention that this relationship charts does not reflect reality and is more or less the result of an accumulation of brain rot and/or a very active and imaginative fantasy.

This is all meant in good humor, there is no intention to harm anyone with it.

The Original Translation and Relationship Chart can be found here.

And if you want to know, how this all came to be, perhaps visit the post that I published before.
