The origin of the name of Ci Pai. Such as Mantingfang, Partridge Sky, etc. Why choose such a name?
A brief explanation of word cards
Every word has word cards. For example, Azolla, Xijiangyue, etc. The so-called Ci Pai is the name of the format of Ci. There are more than 1,180 Ci Pai in the "Ci Gui" written by Wan Shu in the Qing Dynasty. In fact, there are even more Ci Pai than this number.
There are roughly three origins of Cipai:
1. It was originally the name of a piece of music. The predecessor of the word is a song with music, such as Bodhisattva Man. According to legend, during the reign of Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty, the female barbarians paid tribute. They wore gold crowns in high buns and Yingluo (; jewelry worn on the body), and they looked like Bodhisattvas. Therefore, people at that time had a composition. Bodhisattva simply chanted it, and it later became a Ci Pai. The same is true for Xijiangyue, Qinyuanchun, etc.
2. Take a few words from the word to make a word card. Such as recalling Jiangnan, it comes from Bai Juyi's "Jiangnan is so good... you can't forget Jiangnan". Nian Nujiao is also known as Dajiangdong Qu, which comes from Su Dongpo's sentence "Da Jiangdong Qu".
3. It turns out to be the title of Ci. For example, Yugezi sings about the life of a fisherman, Langtaosha sings about the big waves and sand, and Gengluozi sings about the night. If the "original meaning" is written under the word card, that word card is also the title.
Most of the word tags are not the original meaning of the word, but just a code for a word spectrum, and the word title has nothing to do with the word tag. When writing lyrics, most people have to create a new title or add small prints below to express their ambition.
