"Long Xiang Cao" is a famous Chinese guqin piece, which belongs to the representative piece of the Guangling School. "Long Xiang Cao" can be found in the "Jiao'an Qin Pu" compiled by Qin Weihan, a qin master of the Guangling School in the seventh year of the Tongzhi reign in the Qing Dynasty. Many people confuse it with "Long Shuo Cao", but it is not. "Long Shuo Cao" is based on the theme of Zhaojun's departure from the fortress. Speaking of "Long Xiang Cao", Zhang Ziqian has to be mentioned. Zhang Ziqian was born in Yizheng, Jiangsu Province, and is a master of the Guangling School. However, there is no one to the right of Zhang Ziqian in the song "Longxiang Cao", so Zhang Lao once was called "Zhang Longxiang". The meaning of the song "Long Xiang Cao" has always been controversial. Some people say that it describes the scene of a dragon flying in the sky based on the solution of the problem. Others say that this song is the theme of Zhuang Zhou's dream of butterflies. Zhang Lao once said eight words about this song: "Solemn and happy, without me, there is me."
