Opening heading[edit]

I was wondering what made this ci have an entry of its own. It seems that it's more due to the fact that it appeared as the lyrics of one of Faye Wong's song - Liuyao

Try this reason: It is one of the most famous Chinese poems ever. And it was first sung by Teresa Teng, who is many times more famous and renowned than Faye Wong. Robin Chen 22:04, 12 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Song Ci, or Song Poems, are widely taught to and cited by Chinese schools students around the world. Chinese kids start to cite Tang or Song poems since young ages, some even as young as in their tender ages of 5 or 6. How unfortunate that some, or even, many of us Chinese, consign these beautiful poems to the backlog of our memories, only to be reminded by unimportant singers in the modern world whose songs contributed nothing towards Chinese arts. So, guys, lets learn the poem not only by memorizing the whole passage. We have to look into the spirit behind the poem by studying the life of the author, the circumstances wherein he composed it and what we modern people can learn from this legacy. To me, one thing that I thought I could learn is to value friendship and people around you...and guys, forget about Teresa Teng, Faye Wong, Jackie and the whole lot of them, remember Su Dongpo... thank you. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 180.72.10.51 (talk) 05:11, 7 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Support. Nothing is lost by stripping away the tones in the title itself. It isn't as if pinyin were an original script for Mandarin. It is a Romanisation, and many Chinese themselves use toneless pinyin – if they use pinyin at all. Noetica^Tea? 07:13, 23 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Comment Personally I would go for a translated title with a redirect from pinyin.--KTo288 (talk) 20:30, 26 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]
