古典新章20·五柳先生傳·不慕榮利

Creative direction on Suno

Chamber art-folk, unhurried 70 BPM in 4/4; female low-middle alto in the user's own recorded voice, clear forward diction and full sustained syllables, gentle melodic turns with generous breathing room; close, dry, centered vocal in a warm wooden-room depth, restrained dynamic growth and natural cadence vibrato; fingerpicked nylon guitar and zhongruan lead, sparse guzheng replies, felt piano, soft bowed cello, warm rounded bass, barely brushed percussion. Lyrical instrumental opening, a small memorable motif returning between three fully unfolding verses, contrasting instrumental bridge, spacious resolved outro; approximately four minutes, singing every supplied word in order through the final line without rushing.

[Instrumental Intro]

[Verse 1]

先生不知何許人也，亦不詳其姓字。
宅邊有五柳樹，因以為號焉。
閑靜少言，不慕榮利。好讀書，不求甚解，每有會意，便欣然忘食。

[Verse 2]

性嗜酒，家貧，不能常得。親舊知其如此，或置酒而招之。
造飲輒盡，期在必醉，既醉而退，曾不吝情去留。
環堵蕭然，不蔽風日；短褐穿結，簞瓢屢空，晏如也。

[Instrumental Interlude]

[Verse 3]

常著文章自娛，頗示己志。忘懷得失，以此自終。
贊曰：黔婁之妻有言：「不戚戚於貧賤，不汲汲於富貴。」
極其言，茲若人之儔乎？酣觴賦詩，以樂其志。
無懷氏之民歟！葛天氏之民歟！
