Many modern musicians create new songs by setting ancient poems to music. When their works are uploaded to music platforms, the original poets are automatically recorded as lyricists. Thanks to this, those ancient classics are well preserved (保存) online, forming a perfect combination of traditional literature and modern pop music.
In the past, young people regarded ancient poets as distant (久远的) and serious figures. They were only names memorized for exams, standing far away from daily life and pop culture. This built a gap between teenagers and traditional cultural heritage. However, today these classical poets have stepped into the digital world loved by young people. This may seem like just an interesting online trend, but it actually proves the everlasting vitality of Chinese classic literature. The timeless themes in poems, such as feelings for the moon, joy and sorrow of parting, and changes in life, can still touch people’s hearts after thousands of years.
