Gong Yi's guqin performance of "Nalanda" comes from the album "Qin Breath - The Story of the Western Regions of the Tang Dynasty".

Gong Yi, Guqin master, Guqin educator, representative of the Southern School of Guqin players.

A way of seeking the Dharma casted by faith, persistence and wisdom, a legendary story of a great monk who traveled west to learn scriptures. A true portrayal of a nation's open-mindedness and rich rivers, a musical journey that warms China and touches "Xuanzang"!

This album is the first time to re-interpret this historical legend with the guqin. The simple and natural sound and classic and moving rhythm, coupled with the pure soundtrack of the flute and xiao, show the aesthetic and ethereal musical texture. Intricate and touching! The soul-stirring and memorable "Tale of the Western Regions of the Tang Dynasty" is a masterpiece of Guqin music worthy of permanent collection!
