The whole piece is moved by the gloomy and clear Guqin, and then the pure and long xiao sound becomes the main melody and flows through, like a clear spring flowing, like a mountain breeze passing by the ear, the ethereal rhythm suddenly floats slowly from the sky, as if you are in a cool moon with mountains and empty space. Next, follow the music to explore the long mountains, to follow the search for a thousand years, and to ask the unsolved puzzles of the mind. One can't help but think of a Buddhist verse "Hanshan Shide", which is a perfect match. The Buddhist verse subtly hides the names of the two masters of the Tang Dynasty, Hanshan and Shide, in the poem, showing the Hanshan ringing bell. , Picking up fallen leaves, but it means a penetrating wisdom that penetrates the world's law.
