In the northwestern border of China, there is a winding river - Ili River. It not only nourishes a land, but also breeds a rich and colorful culture and art. The song "Yili River" is such a work, it depicts the magnificent scenery and cultural customs of the Yili River with beautiful melody.

The piece uses the guzheng as a carrier to transport listeners into a poetic world. In the beginning part, the unique glissando technique of the guzheng is used, which is like the sound of the river flowing, clear and distant. With the development of the melody, the music gradually shows the natural scenery on both sides of the Ili River. The change from calm to exciting is like the change of the four seasons, making people feel the magic of nature.

In terms of playing skills, "By the Ili River" requires players to master a variety of techniques, such as plucking, trill and various grace notes, which test the skill level of players. At the same time, the music also integrates the elements of Xinjiang ethnic music, such as the melody style of the Uygur people, so that the whole piece has the characteristics of traditional guzheng music, without losing regional characteristics.

"Yili River" is not only a painting of natural scenery, it is more like a painting with music, allowing listeners to travel through time and space in the melody, feeling the peace and beauty away from the noise. Every listening is a spiritual journey, which allows us to temporarily forget the worldly troubles and immerse ourselves in that distant and mysterious land.
