Zhao Mojia's guzheng performance "Fish Play" comes from the album "Zheng Pin".

Composed by Zhao Mojia and choreographed by Zhao Mojia, the music of Wu Shen is inspired by the Han Dynasty's Yuefu poem "Jiangnan": Jiangnan can pick lotus, lotus leaves can be found in He Tiantian, and fish can play among the lotus leaves. Fish playing with lotus leaves east, fish playing with lotus leaves west. Fish playing with lotus leaves in the south, fish playing with lotus leaves in the north. The music adopts the music material of the Jiangnan silk and bamboo "Old Six Boards", takes its first sentence as the motivation throughout the whole music, and integrates modern popular harmony and performance techniques, so that the traditional Folk music exudes young vitality. The author grew up in a water town in Jiangnan, and when creating this work, he recalled the scene of playing with the guzheng at the teacher's fish pond after class in his childhood. Therefore, this work is full of childlike charm, growth, and memories.
