It is said that Bo Ya, a pianist in the pre-Qin Dynasty, once played the piano in a barren field, but Zhong Ziqi, a woodcutter, could understand that this was a description of "lofty ambition in high mountains" and "lofty ambition in flowing water". Boya was shocked and said, "Good, my son's heart is with me." After the death of Zizi, Boya lost his bosom friend, broke his piano and string, and did not exercise for life, so there was a song of high mountains and flowing water.
"Mountain Flowing Water" is based on "Bo Ya Gu Qin meets a bosom friend", and there are many kinds of music books. There are two kinds of Qin music and Zheng music, both of which have the same name and different styles.
ancient music. During the Warring States Period, there was a story of Qin music about high mountains and flowing water, so it was also said that "High Mountains and Flowing Water" was written by Boya. The music score was first found in the Magic Secret Score (written by Zhu Quan in 1425) in the Ming Dynasty. The solutions to "Mountain" and "Running Water" in this score are as follows:
"Mountain" and "Running Water" are only one song. The first ambition is to care about the mountains, and to say that the benevolent is Leshan. The future ambition is to care about running water, which means that the wise are happy with water. The Tang Dynasty was divided into two songs, not divided into sections. The highest mountain is divided into four sections and the flowing water is eight sections. " For more than two thousand years, two famous guqin songs, Mountain and Running Water, have been widely circulated among the people together with the story of Boya Guqin meeting a bosom friend.
With the development of the performance art of Qin since the Ming and Qing Dynasties, Mountain and Running Water have undergone great changes. The legendary secret score is not segmented, but the later piano scores are segmented. Among various musical scores since the Ming and Qing Dynasties, Running Water, which was adapted by Zhang Kongshan, a pianist of Sichuan school, was collected in the Musical Score of Tianwenge (1876) compiled by Tang Yiming in the Qing Dynasty. The sixth paragraph of the sound of running water was added, also known as "Seventy-two Rolling Flowing Water", which was widely circulated because of its vivid image and mixed scenes. According to the research of the Qin family, before the publication of the Tianwenge Piano Score, there was no sixth paragraph played by Zhang Kongshan in all the scores, and the whole song was only eight paragraphs, which was consistent with the solution of the Magic Secret Score, but Zhang Kongshan's biography? I'm Yan Xin? Oh, danger Are you like a seed?
There is another zither song "Mountain Flowing Water". The music is very different from the piano music, and it is also based on "Bo Ya Gu Qin meets a bosom friend". There are many schools of music books. The most widely circulated and influential is the biography of Zhejiang Wulin School, with elegant melody and meaningful charm, which has the appearance of "majestic mountains and flowing water".
The Mountain Flowing Water of Shandong School is an ensemble of four ditties, namely, Qin Yun, Wind Swing with Bamboo, Belling at Night and Book Yun, also known as Four Stages and Four Stages of Brocade.
The "Mountain Flowing Water" of Henan School is taken from the folk song "Lao Liu Ban", with a fresh and lively rhythm. Folk artists often play it when they meet for the first time to show their respect and friendship. There is no * * * similarity between these three songs and the guqin song "Mountain Flowing Water".

Guangling Sanqin Music
According to Qin Cao, Nie Zheng's father was the father of the Warring States Period. Nie Zheng, determined to avenge his father, went to the mountains to learn the piano for ten years and became a stunt, which made him famous in South Korea. The King of Korea called him to the palace to play, and Nie Zheng finally realized his long-cherished wish to assassinate the King of Korea, and he died disfigured.

So, when looking for an opportunity to enter the palace to play the piano for the king of Korea, he drew a dagger from the belly of the piano and stabbed the king of Korea to death.

"Wild Goose in Pingsha" is a guqin music, which has many schools of music, and its intention is to write the mind of a scholar by taking advantage of the vision of a great owl.
Wild Goose Falling in Pingsha: Guqin Music was first published in Authentic Ancient Sounds (1634) in Ming Dynasty, also known as Wild Goose Falling in Pingsha. Since its publication, more than 5 kinds of music collections have been published, and there are many schools of music.

Three Lane of Plum Blossom
The overtone tune in the song is repeated three times at different emblem positions, so it is called "Three Lane". According to legend, Jin Hengyi wrote the flute "Three Lane of Plum Blossom", which was later changed to Qin music. Music praises people with noble sentiments by praising plum blossom's tenacious character of defying frost and fighting snow in the wind.
three tricks of plum blossom: guqin music. Also known as Plum Blossom Introduction and Jade Princess Introduction, it is a masterpiece of plum blossom in China traditional art. The Magic Secret Music records that this song was first played by Huan Yi in the Eastern Jin Dynasty.
Guo Maoqian's Poems of Yuefu, in the 24th Southern Song Dynasty, Bao Zhao (about 414 ~ 466) said that "Plum Blossom Blossom Blossom is also composed in the flute" and "its sound still exists today". There are also many descriptions of the flute "Plum Blossom Fall" in the Tang poetry today, which shows that the flute "Plum Blossom Fall" was more popular between the Southern Dynasties and the Tang Dynasty.
The music content of Three Lane of Plum Blossoms has been introduced in all previous dynasties, and the flute music Plum Blossom Falls from the Southern Dynasties to the Tang Dynasty mostly expresses the feelings of sadness and separation.
The melody of plum blossom in the Ming and Qing Dynasties is mostly characterized by the lofty, cold, noble and unyielding moral integrity and temperament of plum blossom. "Huan Yi played the flute and played the tune of plum blossom in three ways, which is superb, and later generations entered the piano." "Mei is the clearest flower, Qin is the clearest sound, and writing the clearest thing with the clearest sound should have the rhyme of ling frost." "The meaning of three tricks is to take three overtones, and the same string is different." From here, we can see that it was first a flute music, and then it was adapted into a guqin music (it is difficult to determine who the author is).
Today, there is a music composition of Qin and Xiao in Harmony of Qin Music by Yushan School (edited by Xianzu of the Qing Dynasty, printed in 182), which has a regular rhythm and is suitable for ensemble. In the later period of Guangling School, Jiaoan Qinpu (Qin Huai Han Ji in Qing Dynasty, published in 1868) had a free rhythm, and the tone modulation before the end of the song was refreshing.
This song adopts the method of circular reproduction in structure, repeating the whole theme three times, and each repetition adopts the overtone playing method, so it is called "Sannong". It embodies the noble character of white plum blossom and proud snow cream. In 1972, Wang Jianzhong adapted it for the piano, and the tone was taken from it. The theme of the performance was Mao Zedong's Yongmei.

Make the listener excited at first, then afraid, and finally there is no way to cry. " From this description, it can be seen that the plot and theme of Chu Han and House of Flying Daggers played by Tang Ying are consistent, which shows that this song has been circulated among the people as early as the 16th century.
Chu Han was popular around Jiajing and Wanli in Ming Dynasty and was deeply loved by pipa players.
Since the publication of Pipa Music edited by Hua Qiuping in 1818, the scores of Ten Faces have been included in every collection of Pipa Music. Each edition is different in subsection and subsection headings:
