"High mountains and flowing water" originated from Liezi Tang Wen. It is said that Boya is good at drumming and Zhong Ziqi is good at listening. Boya Guqin aimed at the mountain, and Zhong Ziqi said, "OK, I'm as steep as Mount Tai." Determined to manage water, Zhong Ziqi said, "Well, the ocean is like a river." Zhong Ziqi will understand what Boya said. When he died as a child, Boya said that there was no bosom friend in the world, but he broke the piano and never played drums all his life. Later, I used "high mountains and flowing water" as a metaphor for a bosom friend or confidant.
"High Mountains and Flowing Water" was originally a film. Since the Tang Dynasty, Mountain and Running Water have been divided into two independent piano pieces. Among them, the song "Running Water" got more development in modern times, and its music score was first seen in "Magic Secret Spectrum" in Ming Dynasty (written by Zhu Quan at 1425). The flowing water played by Mr. Guan Pinghu was recorded in the golden record of American space probe Voyager-1, and was launched into space on August 22, 1977/kloc-0, looking for human "bosom friends" in the vast universe.

Liezi Tang Wen Edition
Boya is good at playing drums, but Zhong Ziqi is good at listening. Boyaguqin, aim at the mountains. Zhong Ziqi said, "Good! If you are Mount Tai! " Determined to run water, Zhong Ziqi said, "Good! Like a river! " Zhong Ziqi will understand what Boya said.
Boya swam in the shadow of Mount Tai. When he died in the rainstorm, he stopped at the bottom of the rock and felt sad, so he played the drums with the help of the piano. At first, it was the operation of rain, but also the sound of making landslides. Every time this song is played, Zhong Ziqi needs to become poor. Boya gave up the piano and sighed, "Good! Very good! Listen to your husband! Imagination is still my heart. Why should I escape? "
Liezi Tang Wen Edition:?
Boya is a famous pianist, and his piano skills are very good, while Zhong Ziqi is good at listening to music. When Boya plays the piano, he thinks of climbing mountains. Zhong Ziqi said happily, "What a wonderful play! I seem to see a towering mountain! " Boya thought of flowing water again, and Zhong Ziqi said, "What a wonderful play! I seem to see the rivers and seas of Wang Yang! " Every time Boya thinks of something, Zhong Ziqi can understand what Boya is thinking from the sound of the piano.
Once, the two of them went to the north of Mount Tai to play together. When they were in high spirits, it suddenly rained heavily, and they came to a big stone to take shelter from the rain. Boya suddenly felt very sad, so he took out his piano and played it. I began to play the sound of continuous drizzle, and then played the sound of mountain cracks. Every time he plays, Zhong Ziqi can hear the meaning expressed by the sound of the piano. Boya then put down the piano and sighed, "Yes, yes, you can imagine my artistic conception when I play the piano. My piano can't escape your hearing anyway! " "
Lv Chunqiu's original taste
The virtue of every saint is well known. Boya plays the drum, and Zhong Ziqi listens to it. Fang Guqin aspired to Mount Tai, and Zhong Ziqi said, "It's good to play the guqin! As majestic as Mount Tai. " Choosing between less and running water, Zhong Ziqi said, "It's good to play drums! Soup soup (shāng) is like running water. " After Zhong Ziqi's death, Boya broke the piano and never played it again, thinking that drums were everywhere in the world. If it is not a unique piano, so are saints. Although there are sages, welcome them disrespectfully. Are sages loyal to the monarch? No defense, no Wan Li Road.

Lv Chunqiu original version:
There is a way to know the character of a noble person. Boya plays the piano and Zhong Ziqi listens to him. When he played the piano for the first time, he showed his ambition to climb mountains. Zhong Ziqi said, "What a great pianist! As high as Mount Tai. " After a while, the sound of the piano showed unremitting ambition to keep pace with the running water. Zhong Ziqi said again, "What a good pianist! Like the Yangtze River and the Yellow River.
"After Zhong Ziqi's death, Boya broke the piano, broke the strings, and stopped playing the piano all his life, thinking that there was no one worth playing. Not only playing the piano, but also virtuous people. Even a virtuous person, how can a virtuous person be loyal if he is not treated with courtesy? Just like a good horse can't ride well, you can't run thousands of miles with him.
