Yang Zhijian's Guqin Solo "Running Water" comes from "Heaven - Yang Zhijian's Guqin Solo Works Collection"

"Heaven" - Yang Zhijian's collection of guqin solo works includes seven guqin solo pieces, including "Wild Goose Falling from the Sand", "God and Man Flowing", "Long Xiang Cao", "Drunkenness", "Pu'an Mantra", "Heavenly Wind Huanpei" and "Running Water". Solo is the most traditional and important form of guqin performance. It is closer to the inner monologue, listening to the world and the inner voice. It is more aloof and scattered. The light joy and sadness are more in line with the implicit and restrained expression of traditional literati. The three solo albums are entitled "Heaven", "Earth" and "People". From ancient times to the present, there are three ways for human beings to torture themselves: man and nature, man and man, man and himself. The piano music selected in Heaven includes not only the content of primitive sacrifice, heaven and man's happiness, and fairy music, such as God and Man's Joy, Heavenly Wind Huanpei, but also the music of Confucianism, Buddhism, and Taoism, such as Wild Goose Falling from the Sand, Pu'an Mantra, and Dragon Flying Mantra.
