Bian Gexiao's performance of "Guan Shanyue" comes from the album "Music Dictionary: Xiao - Bian Ge".

"Guan Shanyue", the Han Dynasty Yuefu Qin Song, one of the "Drum Music Hengqiu". At that time, soldiers on the frontier often sang this song on horseback. The current lyrics were filled in by Li Bai, a great poet of the Tang Dynasty, revealing the great sacrifices caused by the ancient wars and the pain brought to countless recruits, so as to express the author's feelings towards the Tang Dynasty rulers who used military force. It was first published in "Wei's Music Score" in "Guan Shanyue". In the "Mei An Qin Score" published in 1931, there is a song "Guan Shan Yue", which has no lyrics, and the melody is different from that of "Wei's Music Score", but the mode and rhythm are similar. In the early 1950s, Xia Yifeng, Yang Yinliu, etc. re-filled Li Bai's lyrics into "Guan Shanyue" in "Mei An Qin Score", which was widely circulated. This song is simple and natural, the tune is stretched and broad, it not only has the characteristics of qin songs, but also expresses sentimental feelings appropriately.
