Description

改编：吴树德 | Song adapted by：Wu Shude
演奏：喻晓庆 吴树德 雷靛云 罗慧芳 | Performer: Lei Xiaoqing, Wu Shude, Lei Dianyun, Luo Huifang

One of the most historically famous Chinese musical compositions, High Mountains and Flowing Water, describes the virility, depth, decency and nobleness of the mountain, and the harmony between the flowing water and the high mountain. It evokes scenery of a fresh spring cheerfully flowing down the high mountain, while the surf is blowing up mischievously.

The tune was originally two separate compositions. Both of them were based on the legendary friendship between guqin master Yu Boya and Zhong Ziqi. Yu was a distinguished musician during the Spring and Autumn Period (770-476 BC). He and Zhong, a rustic woodsman, became soul mates through Zhong’s understanding of Yu’s musical intentions and details.
