This is a famous Chinese ancient guqin song, describing the flow of water
「洋洋乎志在流水。」
Player：CaiShan（GuQi ）
演奏者：蔡珊（古琴）

[@xyliu00]

In 1977, a recording of "Flowing Water" (Liu Shui, as performed by Guan Pinghu, 管平湖) was chosen to be included in the Voyager Golden Record, a gold-plated LP recording containing music from around the world, which was sent into outer space by NASA on the Voyager 1 and Voyager 2 spacecraft. It is the longest excerpt included on the disc.

下指乾淨好難得，氣息平淡沈歛不易。下右指時得用腰帶動，右指少自己用力，可使琴曲多些流水磅礡氣勢，特別是起曲的 5 5. 5，以拉大山高水沛的場景；在節奏上鋪陳穩健，但曲中有數處停太久了，沒了流水的連貫性。整體很棒，假以時日，磨利腰身，必成大師。

i could not describe to youtube what i was looking to find, so i just typed in "flowing water" and i found this. Cant say i am disappointed.

[@rink5870]

i don't know why this makes me hear my heartbeat clearer, either the sound makes everything feel quieter or my heartbeat is amplified from listening, either ways, its a strange feeling. isn't this how those romance novels describe being lovestruck or something?

..."why translations are important." Thank you for the post, absolutely appreciated.

[@XinruZhuang33]

还推荐大家去听听曾成伟老师的川派的《流水》，返璞归真，已入化境。七十二滚拂是蜀人张孔山所作，所以川派的版本可以说是“正宗”，但少为人所知。蔡老师的风格算是龚一先生一派的，其实李祥霆一派的流水也是大开大合的精彩，就是视觉和音效不如自得做得好而已。央音在大众推广方面，真的不如上音活络。

全明星诸葛琴魔, 小说三国是元末明初写的. 以下是从别的地方抄来的: 琴的来源無從稽考，不过中华古代文明之初的各个氏族领袖都与琴的创始传说有关，如伏羲造琴、神农造琴、唐尧造琴、黄帝造琴和虞舜造琴等传说，但無考古支持. 最古实物是郭家庙墓地曹门湾墓区86号墓出土的春秋早期琴。戰國時期曾侯乙墓則出土了十弦琴與築，筑长度与现代琴相仿。战国中期和西汉则有比现代琴短些的七弦琴出土。现在看到的琴的型制於东汉晚期确定。
