Tzu

Tzu or TZU may refer to the following:

  • TZU, an Australian hip-hop group
  • Tzu (poetry), a format of Chinese poetry
  • Chinese characters (han-tzu)
  • Courtesy name (tzu), a Chinese given name used later in life
  • Tzu (surname), the surname of the kings of Shang China
  • Ci (poetry)

    Ci (tzu; simplified Chinese: ; traditional Chinese: ; pinyin: ; Wade–Giles: tz'u2, and, interchangeably –– to a point –– with 辭/辞) are a poetic form, a type of lyric poetry, done in the tradition of Classical Chinese poetry. Ci use a set of poetic meters derived from a base set of certain patterns, in fixed-rhythm, fixed-tone, and variable line-length formal types, or model examples: the rhythmic and tonal pattern of the ci are based upon certain, definitive musical song tunes. They are also known as Changduanju (長短句/长短句, "lines of irregular lengths") and Shiyu (詩餘/诗馀, "that which is beside poetry").

    Typically the number of characters in each line and the arrangement of tones were determined by one of around 800 set patterns, each associated with a particular title, called cípái 詞牌. Originally they were written to be sung to a tune of that title, with set rhythm, rhyme, and tempo. Therefore, the title may have nothing to do with its contents, and it is common for several ci to share the same title, having little or nothing to do with the topics of those poems, but rather refers to their shared rhythmic and tonal patterns. Some ci would have a "subtitle" (or a commentary, sometimes as long as a paragraph) indicating the contents. Sometimes, for the sake of clarity, a ci is listed under its title plus its first line.

    Shang dynasty

    The Shang dynasty (Chinese: ; pinyin: Shāng cháo) or Yin dynasty (Chinese: ; pinyin: Yīn dài), according to traditional historiography, ruled in the Yellow River valley in the second millennium BC, succeeding the Xia dynasty and followed by the Zhou dynasty. The classic account of the Shang comes from texts such as the Book of Documents, Bamboo Annals and Records of the Grand Historian. According to the traditional chronology based upon calculations made approximately 2,000 years ago by Liu Xin, the Shang ruled from 1766 to 1122 BC, but according to the chronology based upon the "current text" of Bamboo Annals, they ruled from 1558 to 1046 BC. The Xia–Shang–Zhou Chronology Project dated them from c. 1600 to 1046 BC.

    Archaeological work at the Ruins of Yin (near modern-day Anyang), which has been identified as the last Shang capital, uncovered eleven major Yin royal tombs and the foundations of palaces and ritual sites, containing weapons of war and remains from both animal and human sacrifices. Tens of thousands of bronze, jade, stone, bone, and ceramic artifacts have been obtained.

    Unnecessarily Blue

    by: Tzu

    Ooooooh
    I am ugly as I word and I'm unnecessarily blue
    And I am only notched for food, but it unnecessarily you
    And I've got nothing left to lose, I'm unnecessarily blue
    And I don't want you but I do and that's unnecessarily true
    I'm a sailor on the moon, when I'm unnecessarily blue
    I need savoir and its true it's not necessarily you
    Please excuse me I'm confused, I'm unnecessarily blue
    I've got one thing left to do, I'm gonna make everything new
    Oooooh
    I'm unnecessarily blue
    I'm unnecessarily blue
    I'm unnecessarily blue
    I'm unnecessarily blue
    I'm unnecessarily blue
    I'm unnecessarily blue
