Bo Ya studied for further studies
During the Spring and Autumn Period, there was a famous musician in the Chu State. His name was Yu Boya. Yu Boya was very smart and talented since he was a child. He also loved music. He became his teacher, Cheng Lian, a famous luthier at that time.

After studying for three years, Yu Boya improved his piano skills and became a famous local piano player. But Yu Boya often felt distressed because he could not reach a higher realm in art. After Yu Boya's teacher Liancheng knew what he was thinking, he said to him, I have taught you all my skills, and you have learned well. As for the sensitivity and understanding of music, I have not learned it well myself. My teacher Fang Zichun is a great master. He has superb piano skills and a unique sensibility for music. He now lives on an island in the East China Sea. I will take you to meet him and continue your studies with him. Do you like it? Yu Boya was overjoyed when he heard this and kept saying yes! They prepared enough food and took a boat to the East China Sea. One day, the boat sailed to Penglai Mountain in the East China Sea. Chenglian said to Boya: "You will wait at Penglai Mountain for a while. I will pick up the teacher and will be back soon." After saying that, Liancheng rowed away. After many days, Liancheng did not come back, and Boya was very sad.
He looked up at the sea, which was turbulent. Looking back at the island, the mountains and forests were silent, with only birds chirping, as if they were singing sad songs. Boya couldn't help but feel emotional about the scene. He sighed up to the sky and played an impromptu tune. The song is full of sadness. From then on, Yu Boya's piano skills flourished. In fact, Teacher Cheng Lian asked Yu Boya to seek a feeling alone in nature.
Yu Boya was on an isolated island, spending all day with the sea and the birds in the woods. His feelings naturally changed, cultivating his soul, and truly realizing the essence of art. do. Later, Yu Boya became an outstanding luthier of his generation, but not many people could really understand his music.
Playing drums and harps in search of bosom friends
I thought about it all day and night: There are hundreds of people, all kinds of colors, Jin has no such people, and there are foreign countries. I just don’t believe there are no bosom friends. He took the qin back to the Chu State where he was born and raised, firstly to seek talents for the Jin State, and secondly to find a close friend. On that day, he bent the official boat to the foot of a hillside in Hanyang, and faced the Han River and played "

Yu Boya and Zhong Ziqi
Before the song was finished, one of the main strings suddenly broke. Boya knew that if the string broke strangely, a close friend would arrive. What kind of person do you think that friend is? He was neither a rich man nor a scholar, but a mountain woodcutter named Zhong Ziqi who wore a bamboo hat, a raincoat, a shoulder bag and an axe. When he heard Yu Boya playing "High Mountains and Flowing Waters", his heart beat in harmony with the sound of the harp, and his ax danced with the sound of the harp. Unexpectedly, the ax chopped off a large branch, and the main string was broken.
Yu Boya deliberately sighed loudly on the official ship: "Why is the echo of the wilderness so loud?" In the mountain forest, Zhong Ziqi replied loudly: "It's because the mountains are high and the flowing water is long!" Boya reset the broken string and played another song. , Ziqi chorused: "It's so beautiful, it's meant to be in the mountains!" Boya ignored it and played another song. Ziqi hurried down the mountain and sang from the other side of the boat: "It's so beautiful, it's so beautiful, it's like flowing water!" When Bo Ya heard this, he stretched out his big nails and hurriedly invited Ziqi to the boat, where they had tea, wine and meat, and talked about music. According to the law, eight obeisances are for friendship. Boya was 37 years old and was called brother, and Ziqi was 27 years old and was called younger brother.
The conversation was long and the night was short, and the two of them unknowingly talked about the white belly of the Oriental fish. Ziqi got up to leave, but Boya couldn't hear the sound. He couldn't bear it, so he insisted on taking him to the state of Jin, where he could play the piano with salt and salt and without salt. Unfortunately, He Ziqi had two elderly elders living in the hall and no brothers or sisters, so he couldn't stay away, so he had to make an appointment to meet at Zhong's house in Jixian Village during the Mid-Autumn Festival next year.
Throwing the Qin to Thank My Zhiyin
In the blink of an eye, it was the Mid-Autumn Festival of the next year, and Yu Boya came to Hanyang, Chu State, with his Qin in his arms again, and asked an old man with a white beard and beard for directions: "Excuse me, my husband. Is this Jixian Village?" The old man said: "Jixian Village has two bays, upper and lower. I don't know which one you are looking for."

Bo Ya said, "I'm looking for my close friend Zhong Ziqi." As soon as the old man heard that he was looking for Zhong Ziqi, his eye circles turned red. Is that Lord Boya, Mr. Boya? There is grass growing on my child's grave. Today is his 100th day. Even if he closes his eyes, he still wants to listen to Mr. Boya playing the piano!" Boya stumbled and beat his feet when he heard this! My chest was filled with tears, and I cried a lot. He followed Father Zhong to Ziqi's grave, placed his qin on the worship stone, and played cross-legged, the more he cried, the more he played. When they heard that the ministers were visiting Ziqi's grave, they all came in droves to see what was going on. When they saw Boya meditating and playing the piano, they thought he was so ignorant and was still having fun, so they all booed him. He walked away coaxingly. When Bo Ya saw this, he became more and more sad. He found the Jie Dao, cut the strings, raised the Yao Qin, picked it up and threw it on the worship stone. He cried loudly and sang: "Broken the Yao Qin, Feng Weihan, Ziqi will never do anything to anyone again." Playing? The spring breeze is full of friends, but it is difficult to find a close friend. "
Later generations could not forget the deep friendship between the two luther players, so they named the place where they used to play harp and find close friends by the Boya River. The place where Boya threw his qin to thank his close friend was named Qin Duankou; Zhong Ziqi's hometown Jixian Village was named Zhongjiatai.

This painting reaches a high level in the depiction of the characters' psychological activities. The painter Wang Zhenpeng is very good in painting techniques. He inherited the "line drawing" painting method of Li Gonglin of the Northern Song Dynasty. The lines are straight, powerful, and elastic. They are continuous and have changes in weight, thickness, urgency, and frustration. Some of the clothes and hats in the painting are rendered with light ink, and the stones are slightly chaffed. Rub, these rich and concise expression techniques make the picture varied but subtle, bright and not monotonous.
