Music is impressive but the story behind it is even captivating and amazing. According to the legend Bo Ya(伯牙) author of this music was a talented musician. He put all his emotion into his music but no one could understand its meaning. Once he played and then noticed woodcutter(Zhong Zi Qi) who truly listened to his music. This man was able to portray the feelings and meaning of music just by listening to. For example, when Bo Ya played a tune praising the high mountains, Zhong Zi Qi said: “This tune is as magnificent and majestic as Mount Tai reaching to heaven!” When he played a work describing restless waves, the lumberjack said: “And this melody is as long and powerful as the great rivers!” All that Bo I wanted to express in my game, then Zi Tzu instantly and very accurately understood. They agreed that Bo Ya would visit Zhong Zi Qi again when he returned from his trip. Bo I kept my word and returned to Zi Zi. But it turned out that he had already died from the disease. Near the tomb of Tzu Tzu, devastated by grief, Bo Ya knelt before his Qin and began playing his melody “High Mountains, Flowing Water” (高山流水) for the last time. When the last note sounded, sobbing Bo Ya said: “From now on, there is no longer anyone who understands my music!” - and broke his qin on the gravestone. He never played again. And now the person who understands the feeling that the artist wants to portray called Zhiyin(知音) named Bosom Friend. It also means soulmate and. Tragedy is that Bo Ya lost his Zhiyin

About 2000 years ago, a musician named Boya played this music, no one could understand what he tried to interpret, until a man called Zhong Ziqi told him that it was about high mountain and running water. Boya was delighted to see him, and regarded Zhong as his zhiji (meaning the best friend). A few years later, Zhong died, and Boya destroyed the instrument and stopped playing any music. I have the same family name as Zhong Ziqi, he is also regarded as one of our ancestors. Most Chinese people can trace back to their early ancestries with their family history book, some goes as far as 5000 years ago.

Boys took Zhong as his soulmate who understood his music, his pursue and ambition…. They were Ziyin - Bosom friends

I have fell in love with this Chinese classical music since I heard in radio about a narration of communism and Great Wall in China accompanied by this classical music. Much love ❤️. From Ethiopia, Africa.

Sans Chen 项斯华是浙派大师,当然很传统,现在依然保持夹弹法的有陕西派,河南派,山东派(基本都是北方派系)。南方派系基本都加了动作,很不令人自在,而且还自以为很好看,王中山大师曾经吐槽过当代古筝加姿势的问题。
Of all the versions of this piece of music, Xiang Shi-Hua's rendition is my absolute favorite. No flourishes or extra embellishments, just pure music flowing from her.

I find out of all the videos I've seen she does this song the best. The way she does vibrato on the strings (left hand) is something I don't see or hear anyone else doing. It adds so much.

This is the song you would hear while sailing towards the mythical island of Mt. Penglai where the eight immortals are said to dwell.
