Zhi Hu Zhe Ye

Chih Hu Che Yeh[a] (Chinese: 之乎者也; pinyin: Zhīhū Zhěyě) is the 1982 debut album of Taiwanese singer Lo Ta-yu.

The phrase functions as an adjective; if someone's Chinese is zhīhū zhěyě, it means it is stale and archaic.

The album had four hit singles: the title song "Zhi hu zhe ye" (之乎者也), "Lukang, the Little Town" (鹿港小鎮), "Love Song 1980" (戀曲1980), and "Childhood" (童年), previously sung by Sylvia Chang in her 1981 album Childhood.

The singles from the album remain among Lo Ta-yu's best known songs in mainland China.

[5][6] Internationally, the album was released in 1982 as the Selected Works of Lo Ta-yu  [zh] (羅大佑作品選) by Fontana Records with two additional tracks, "Foolishly Waiting" (痴痴的等) and "Deaf-Blind" (盲聾).
