Example of Music #1

This is a traditional Chinese song called Gao Shan Lie Shui, or "High Mountains and Flowing Water."  Legend has it that musician Bo Ya was playing his Guqin (ancient stringed instrument) in the wilderness. A woodman named Zhong Ziqi understood that his music was about the high mountains and flowing water.  Bo Ya was surprised that he understood this, and the two become close friends. When Ziqi later died, Bo Ya broke his instrument and never played it again in his life.  We chose this piece of music because it comes from one of the ancient legends of the Chinese people.
