"The Fragrance of Jasmine" is a guzheng piece based on the traditional Jiangsu folk song "Jasmine Flower". The melody is euphemistic and graceful, fluctuating smoothly, and the emotions are delicate and gentle. It unfolds the various delicate gestures and refreshing fragrance of the jasmine flowers slowly like a picture scroll.
The unique beauty, elegance, and translucent and mellow tone of the zheng will be vividly expressed in the music. The author expresses the simple and soft feelings between men and women implicitly by praising the jasmine flower, and the artistic conception is intriguing. It has now been included in one of the 8-level compulsory repertoires of the children's guzheng examination repertoire. This video is played by Yuan Sha using the guzheng.
