"High Mountains and Flowing Water", a Chinese qin piece, is one of the top ten ancient pieces in China. Legend has it that the pre-Qin qin master Boya once played the qin in the wilderness, and Zhong Ziqi, the woodcutter, could understand that this was a description of "Earth is like Mount Tai" and "Yangyang is like a river". Boya exclaimed in surprise: "It's good, my son's heart is the same as mine." After Zhong Ziqi died, Boya lost his bosom friend, broke the qin and cut off the strings, and couldn't play it for the rest of his life. This video is played by virtuoso Yuan Sha Guzheng.
