Grand mountains and flowing water 高山流水

The music is based on the story of a musician, Bou-Ya, who during the early Qing dynasty was playing his music in a mountain by himself, when a peasant called Zhong Zhiqi, came by and described his feelings after hearing Buo-Ya's music.

Zhong found that the music was so grand that it invoked images of the splendour of Mount Tai, and the grandeur and openness of the river and ocean. They became best friends, joined together by music. Later, when Zhong Zhiqi died, Bou Ya broke his own harp, and stopped playing music for the rest of his life.

Later in history, this piece of music was often played first when artists met, to express respect to each other.

Sometimes I want to run away and end up in a village like in Jet Li's Fearless, and do tai chi on a mountain overlooking the world

朋友少的人或者 人際關係惡劣者,可以透過音韻的挑撥,融入高山流水的意境! 我喜歡

謝謝分享!

中國的古韻 弓商角止羽 的的確確可以淨化 舒緩我們的五臟 六腑的運行自如!

以上淺見 就教!
