The ancient song "Running Water" is quite story-telling in guqin music. Originally called "flowing water in the mountains", it is well known to all women and children, with the legendary allusion of "flowing water in the mountains meets bosom friends". There is still the song "Running Water in the Mountains" in guzheng and pipa music.

Since ancient times, scholars in China have emphasized that "being rich will help the world, while being poor will be immune to it". Whenever literati are depressed and frustrated, they usually choose to go from Confucianism to Taoism, pull their focus back from the prosperity outside to their rich hearts, live in seclusion, cherish their feelings and get close to the vast nature.

As one of the ways to cultivate one's self-cultivation, father has made scholars of all ages fascinated and relieved.

This is just as Ji Kang said in Fu Qin, "Things have ups and downs, but this (guqin) has not changed; It has a strong smell, but it's not embarrassing. It can guide qi and make public feelings, and those who are poor and not bored are not close to each other. Therefore, if it is insufficient, it will be sung with ambition, and if it is insufficient, it will be expressed in a broad sense. "

Guqin's voice is pure and elegant, clear and far-reaching, elegant in interest, happy but not lewd, sad but not hurt, resentful but not angry, gentle and sincere, just peaceful and beyond in form. "Qin is also a tool, and virtue is among them." Qinlu is the lifelong pursuit of literate scholars.

Guqin is not loud, subtle and deep, which is more suitable for self-appreciation. Since ancient times, the performance of guqin has often been regarded as a heart-to-heart communication between bosom friends. Today's guqin music "Running Water" leads to a well-known and touching story of Yu Boya and Zhong Ziqi, which has become a beautiful talk through the ages, tugging at the heartstrings of today's people and bringing us endless reverie.
