PART 2(a) OF THE FANTASTIC CONCERT, << RHYTHM OF THE GREAT WALL, THE SOUND OF ARTS>>

PART 2(a) OF THE FANTASTIC CONCERT, << RHYTHM OF THE GREAT WALL, THE SOUND OF ARTS>>

Wondering why there's a "(a)" in the title this time? 
YES! We will be differentiating this spectacular concert into multiple parts. To understand this concert better, we will go by the songs which are being sang.

For the first part which we will be mentioning in this portion, we will be talking about the first 2 songs sang by our amazing Tenor, Zhuang Jie. 



No.1: The Great Wall Is Always On My Mind
Fantastic and powerful music by great Chinese Artists in China, Lu Zulong, Wang Xiaojun and Gao Zeshun. Some people may wonder why this song? After doing some research regarding the Great Wall Of China and understanding about the magnificence of the spirit and soul this song brought out to us. 
The Great Wall Of China is the building project with the longest duration and greatest cost in human lives, blood, sweat and tears. It deserves its place among "the New Seven Wonders of the World" and the UNESCO World Heritage Sites.



So going back to the title of this concert - 
<<Rhythm of the Great Wall,  The Sound of Arts>>
As I mentioned in the part 1 of my blog, YES! If you hadn't read it, go back to our Lotus On Water Blog and recap it! This is a fusion of the arts, not just AUDITORY but VISUALLY and so we must take a look at some of the MAGNIFICIENT Master Yun's art pieces which was displayed at the SCO concert hall.


Below here would be Master Yun's Thoughts On this painting, "A Wall Of Gems" which he does for every of his paintings to explain the meaning behind it.

画中有思
THOUGHTS ON PAINTINGS

有许多人还真相信
It’s unbelievable that many still believe that...

秦始皇建长城是表现了他的强权暴政
Emperor Shi Huangdi built the Great Wall of China because of his tyranny

笑话!
It’s a joke!

秦始皇吃饱了撑着吗?
Has Emperor Shi nothing better to do?

花这么多财力,精力与物力来建长城?
To have spent so much money, energy and resources to build The Great Wall of China?

难道是长城上走马看花,
寻欢作乐,喝酒?
Can His Majesty take a stroll on the wall?
Or have merry good time? Drinking and flirting on The Great Wall?

秦始皇有没有付薪水给建长城的老百姓我不知道,想想也知道一人一口饭,一人一口水都得付出许多财力与精力
I am not sure if His Majesty paid the people who worked on The Great Wall? But we can guess, just feeding the workers takes up a lot of money and effort

可是不这样做,
边疆的游牧民族便会掠夺屠杀我们的子民
But if you don’t build that wall, the nomads from the north would rob and kill our people

一个人有财有势之后,
也会招惹许多妒忌贪婪的"游牧民族”。
When a person is prosperous and glorious, he would attract a lot of greedy and jealous “nomads”

我们得用智慧,能力,勇气筑起长城
We need to build A Great Wall with our wisdom,
capability and courage

而且是富贵华美的长城
A Great Wall of Prosperity and Elegance

No.2: The Swan Goose
Traditional Mongolian Folk song with meaningful lyrics. The Swan Goose has always been a auspicious omen in the Chinese culture, many people have portrayed this song in many ways but frankly, Tenor Zhuang Jie version was the most impactful and powerful. 


This time, which painting is it portraying then? Master Yun's paintings has many auspicious creatures, from the most commonly seen Peacocks which is being inspired by the Peacock King which is a Japan god and mentioned to be the same level as a Buddha in the Chinese culture. However, this time we would have another powerful creature representing POWER and STATUS. Also, the most special part is that this painting is painted on the silk, Eric Raisina, really wonderful designer which worked with us for this series of SILK paintings.


画中有思
THOUGHTS ON PAINTINGS

鹰之展翅
The stretching of the wings of eagle

与凡鸟不同
Is different from the stretching of the wings of the other birds

凡鸟展翅,如同凡人散步
The ordinary birds stretch their wings like ordinary people taking a stroll

边走边看,因为视线太短
They look as they stroll, they look as they fly. Tragic of being short sighted

往往一不留神,走入圈套
Oops, they may fly into traps

就怪命吧!短视便是这样
And blame it on fate. That’s the story of being short sighted

鹰则不同
The eagle is different

与鹰翅更厉害的是鹰之眼
More powerful than the eagle’s wings are the eagles eyes

十万八千里之外的目标己经盯住了
The target of ten thousand miles is clearly spotted

十万八千里之内的动摇都在眼底
The dangers within the ten thousand miles are within its vision

一展一扇
And once the wings are stretched and flap

如闪电直达
The eagle arrives the target like lightning


2/13 were being mentioned in this particular more, if you are looking forward for more information of this FANTASTIC fusion, be sure to check out our blogs!

A MAGICAL EVENING, 14th MARCH 2021 - PART 1

A MAGICAL EVENING, 14th MARCH 2021 - PART 1

<<RHYTHM OF THE GREAT WALL, THE SOUND OF  ARTS>>


What were you doing on the 14th of March 2021? 
Working? 
Shopping?
Or still studying?
For me, I had the best night of my life at...
SINGAPORE CONFERENCE HALL!



To many, this was probably one of the most wonderful night. 
Tailcoats, for the gentleman and Wedding Gowns for the ladies. 



Initially, without COVID, we could have over 800 people, however with the current situation, we can hold only about 150 people. Despite only this sum of people, the ENTHUSIASM and THRILL of the atmosphere brought by was even higher and more fun seemed to be intrigued! 




Many asked," what was the best thing about that night?" I do say there are two main points, firstly, to see our regular clients bringing their friends and family together into our HUGE #lotusfamily, and attending our event together. Importantly, some people call it a UP IN LEVEL, some calls it a BREAKTHROUGH, there are those which name it a FUSION of ARTS, what do you think?

This isn't the end! So look forward to part 2 for more exciting details of this marvelous EVENT!

辛丑年将是怎样的一年?


我已经有好一段时间没写博文了;我那些长篇面簿帖文不算。阻断期后的日子非常忙碌,我们所解锁的成就(游戏术语)真的超乎想象,不可思议。我们所获得的奖项,还有长城画展……这些都不是抄袭别人就能达成的成就。模仿抄袭是没有灵魂的,模仿者的话也是空洞的。

 

2020 庚子年是云龙子旺财馆大跃进的一年,这都是我们多年秉持着热忱,努力不懈的结果。热忱孕育了我们所享有的奢华,热忱也孕育我们的未来和财富。

 


一切的喜乐幸福都来自真诚的热忱。

 

我说得有点离题了。

 

2021年元月就这样过去了。这是很多年来,第一次没有举办大型流年风水讲座。这给了我和同事一个机会,以一对一的形式,更深入了解你来年的需要和期望。当然,去年的冬至庆典和长城画展也让我们忙得不可开交。

 


2021辛丑年会是怎样的一年呢?

 

去年,我们预测2020庚子年将是这个时代的“分水岭”。我对客人说:“2020可以是极具挑战的一年,也可以是良机满满的一年。关键在于你所做出的决定。”

 


我很欣慰许多旺财客人在万难中,选择了富贵和胜利的人生。我更欣慰的是,尽管大环境艰难,这些客人还获得很棒的回报,过得非常好。

 

富贵和胜利的人生,属于那些愿意接受最棒风水,愿意相信,愿意努力的人。

 


2021辛丑年将会是灿烂的一年。对我的新加坡客人来说,也会是一个充满良机的一年。今年,全球财富最多,权力最大的人,将齐聚新加坡,在本地买房置产、开创新事业。

 

2021也会是竞争激烈的一年,但顺利撑过2020年的人,将能全力以赴抓住危机中的良机。

 


问题是,你要如何抓住这些良机?

 

我们很少建议客人韬光养晦还是耐心等待,连2020年也没有这样。

 

2021年里,你真的要做到极致。摆上御用白端,挂上云大师的风水画,戴上沉檀香,摆上水晶山招贵人……真的是要做到极致。

 


做到极致,胜券在握!

 

立春已经过去,要抓紧时间把流年风水做起来——居家风水,办公室风水,还有个人风水。很多客人请回了他们的旺财戒指、旺财沉香、旺财翡翠牌。真的很为他们开心!很高兴他们选择最适合他们的风水宝物!

 


要是你在想:如果真的要选择,我应该请购哪件旺财宝物呢?

 

我的建议是……

 

居家风水:请水晶山、风水画和御用白端。

 

个人风水:请旺财戒指、沉香和檀香。

 

每一件旺财宝物的功能,我们都已经介绍过了。现在就是拥有它们的最佳时机。把这些都请回家,就是把风水做好做满。

 

现在就是思考你下来要请购什么旺财宝物的时候。但这一切也在于旺财馆还有什么存货。即刻就跟我们联络。

 

祝你2021年灿烂无比!
