Chinese instruments

The Guqin piece "Flowing Water" is a very expressive piece of music. It makes full use of "rolling, whisking, hitting, advancing, retreating" and other fingerings, as well as ascending and gliding notes, vividly depicting the various modalities of running water. The sound of the beginning of the melody, disappearing and appearing from time to time, is like being on the top of a mountain, surrounded by clouds and mist, erratic. Then it turned to clear overtones, and the rhythm gradually became brighter. The love arises spontaneously. Then the melody began to rise and fall, and the wind surged. As stated in the Qing edition of "Qin Xue Series·Liu Shui", "The view is extremely turbulent, with the image of a dragon roaring. Rest and listen, it is like sitting in a perilous boat crossing the Wu Gorge, dazzled and thrilling, almost doubting that this body has When the mountains are rushing, and the ten thousand valleys are vying for the flow.” Then the momentum of the sound was greatly reduced, just like “the light boat has passed, the momentum is stagnant, sometimes the aftermath shocks the stone, and sometimes it swirls slightly.” (“Qin Xue Cong Jiao” Running Water" postscript). At the end of the song, the sound of running water resumed, slowly ending, and the whole piece was completed in one go. It was as if it had been washed by running water. One could not help but be immersed in the thoughts of "Yangyang, the sincere and ancient tune of the voice of hope" for a long time.
