Two days after a namesake song of the household ancient Chinese poem "Song of a Pipa Player" was posted on Bilibili, a popular video sharing website among the younger generation, it has already earned over 20,000 hits and some 1,300 comments.

在這首家喻戶曉的詩詞《琵琶行》的同名歌曲發佈到嗶哩嗶哩--一個在年輕人中很流行的視頻分享網站上兩天之後，它就獲得了超過2萬的點擊量和約1300條評論。

Many teenagers liked and shared the five-minute song, saying that they finally found the "correct way" to recite the ancient Chinese poems.

很多青少年都對這個五分鐘長的歌曲進行了點贊和分享，他們表示，自己終於找到了背古詩詞的正確方式。

The poem "Song of a Pipa Player" was written by Bai Juyi, a Chinese poet of the Tang Dynasty (618-907). Consisting of over 600 characters, the poem is on the high school syllabus across China and is a must for the students to recite.

《琵琶行》是中國唐代詩人白居易創作的。全篇共有600餘字，是在全中國的高中教綱中都有的一首詩詞，並要求學生們全文背誦。

The composers of the song, named Qiran and Shenmiren online, are both online musicians. Qiran said he has been thinking of composing songs based on ancient poems since high school years.

這首歌的作曲人在網上名叫奇然和沈謐仁，他們兩人都是線上音樂人。奇然稱，他從高中就開始打算以古詩作爲基礎來譜曲了。

"I hated reciting poems during that time, so I made up some melodies to help, and it really helped," said Qiran.

奇然說道：“我那個時候很討厭背詩，所以我編了些曲調來幫我記憶，而這真的很有效。”

"It is a great pleasure to see so many high school students enjoying the song. If it helps them learn and recite the poems, we will continue to compose for sure. We hope that after listening to the whole album, they will get full marks in the Chinese examination," he said.

他表示：“看到那麼多高中生都喜歡這首歌，我感到很開心。如果這能夠幫他們學習和背誦這些詩，我們一定會繼續譜曲的。我希望他們在聽完整張專輯後，能夠在語文考試中拿到滿分。”
