Zhan Qian | Song

Legend has it that every butterfly was the soul of a flower before it died. What kind of beautiful and moving story can a butterfly and a flower compose? This zheng piece is composed by the young guzheng player Zhan Qian. The whole piece is like a gurgling water, slowly refreshing and flowing into our cochlea; when it is delicate, it is like the whisper of a lover; when it is passionate, it is like a big wave. "The big strings are noisy like a torrential rain, and the small strings are like whispers", sometimes quiet, sometimes moving, the music is combined with static and dynamic, complementing each other, and the zheng and people are one.

Butterflies are recognized as the most beautiful insects, known as "flying flowers", representing people's yearning and pursuit of free love, and the world of flowers is full of tenderness and different expressions, "butterfly rhyme" and "flower flying". "It is the artistic conception conveyed in the zheng song, and the admiration for the beautiful life is the ultimate appeal of this song.
