听琴箫鼓瑟 将长安城的繁华旧梦 在明月夜里 浅吟低唱

圆月，映照鸣沙山间陡峭的砾岩。云海无涯，边声不绝，铜铃琅琅作响，讲述丝绸之路的悠远故事。西风，卷起月牙泉边嗡鸣的黄沙。战鼓犹动，烽火未息，金戈铁马的嘶鸣，回荡在关山万里间。缠绵的胡琴声，飘荡于敦煌辽远的荒原，传入莫高窟封存千年的幽暗洞窟，唤醒色彩瑰丽的壁画上，那流转飞动的身影。跟随凌空翱翔的飞天，穿越亘古之岁月，梦回大明宫巍峨如阊阖的九重金阙，梦回长安城由笙歌红烛装点的夜。

穿行于时间的滚滚江流，追溯乐与歌的辉煌盛世。聆听千回百转的宫商角徵羽，邂逅浪漫飘逸之不朽传奇。聆听辽远悠长的山寺晚钟，吟咏一支温婉的采莲曲。佳人执桨，徘徊于芙蓉的清香，一叶扁舟，金波里荡漾。眺望大漠的孤烟落日，奏一曲慷慨雄浑的胡乐。琵琶疾驰衬托羌笛之悠长，宝剑锋芒辉映铁衣之寒光。秦淮河边的歌女，唱起哀婉幽怨的玉树后庭花。书斋中忧愤难眠的才子，于凄风冷雨里将前朝的诗人凭吊。羁旅天涯的游子，眺望着春水连天，犹忆起故乡皓腕凝霜雪的少女。寒露中秋虫的彻夜鸣泣，又牵动思妇对远方征人的多少离愁别绪。

盛唐时代，歌舞昌荣，天子诸侯宴饮时，仙乐风飘处处闻。以玄宗为首的皇族成员，设立梨园，创制新曲，引领天下风气。忽而渔阳鼙鼓动地来，惊破霓裳羽衣曲。天宝乱世，宫阙倾颓，大批乐师出奔宫廷，令宗室音乐流落民间，幸得市井百姓的心传口授，终使这长安古乐绵延不绝。其中部分乐谱，经丝绸之路被传抄至西域，偶然被封存于莫高窟的藏经洞中，遗落千年后方重现天日，令今人有幸于《敦煌乐谱》中一睹典雅古朴之清音。另有一缕晚唐的音乐余韵，东渡沧海，经平安朝贵族公卿之手，被搜录于《仁智要录》，从而使日本雅乐之内涵气质，承袭唐风妙境。

瑞鸣音乐制作人叶云川，遨游天下，承继古今，于1400年前的大唐盛世中，捕捉充满生命张力的古典诗韵。戏曲才子池浚，穿越历史沧桑，以隽永品味搜集珍贵乐谱。中国最古老的皇家乐曲长安古乐，中国最古老的曲谱《敦煌乐谱》，保存唐乐原貌的日本筝曲集《仁智要录》，皆由先人以半字谱记成，凭借手口相传，古奥难识。叶云川独辟蹊径，融贯中西，以完全自由即兴之精神，去激活古老乐谱的灵魂。以西洋即兴和声之风格，演奏民族器乐。以唐人开放包容之气度，观照当代民乐的发展，重现当代生活所欠缺的浪漫、典雅、鲜活之美。

录音大师李大康，凝聚四十载资深功力，于录音大棚，为一生挚爱的民族音乐录制鲜活新章。新古典主义民乐“七仙女”——古琴赵晓霞、二胡杨雪、古筝苏畅、琵琶于源春、笛箫李娟、阮邸琳、鼓马瑞，皆为国内青年演奏家之翘楚，曾参与录制瑞鸣音乐的《天人合一》等专辑。在录音现场，完全即兴以现代女性独立开放的视野去审视唐朝与敦煌的厚重历史文化，将千古神乐演绎得既清丽幽雅、婉约细腻，又不失慷慨豪迈、恢弘大气。

一轮明月荡漾千年，曾凝望长安之辉煌，也曾凝望敦煌之繁华。于沧海桑田变幻时，积蓄的深邃感悟，不舍的幽远情思，如今凝结为这气韵生动的乐曲。是云想衣裳花想容的典丽隽永，也是一片孤城万仞山的苍茫辽远。古典美学与现代精神交相辉映，厚重历史与灵动诗意碰撞融和。夜阑风月私语，曲终音犹不散。

Foreword:

A fair hand strums the strings of the pipa, like the tireless ripples on the surface of the river. The thunder of the bell and drum fills the land, like a flock of startled wild geese taking flight.

Robust echoes whisk away millennia of sand, and from within the splendorous frescoes of Dunhuang, artfully crafted works of beauty begin to awaken and dance.

Amidst strings, wind and woodblock drums, under the soft glow of the moon, an ancient dream of the long-lost capital Chang’an springs once again into newfound life.

The ice-white moon sheds its glowing light upon the steep slopes jutting up among the otherwise uninterrupted rolling sand dunes. Beneath the boundless sea of clouds, the echo of a bronze bell can be heard, its deliberate chime a testament to the indefatigable spirit of all those who have traversed the length of this Silk Road. An indifferent wind picks up, taking with it a whirl of sand surrounding the Crescent Moon Spring. Suddenly the war drums fill the sky with their thunder, the signal fires blaze heavenward, and the armored horses whinny restlessly as they continue their trek past yet another mountain pass. The lingering song of the huqin drifts across the seemingly endless expanse of Dunhuang, penetrating the deep caves of the Mogao Grottoes sealed for so many centuries, and awakens the agile figure in one of the stunning color frescoes. Be prepared to be spirited away high up into the sky, back through countless lifetimes, to the great gilded palace of the ancient Tang Dynasty, to a night in Chang’an City filled with the music of bamboo flights and the light of red candles.

Throughout the rolling passage of time, return to a place of musical glory. Amidst the sound of classical melodies, lose yourself in the romantic legendry of timeless epic poems. Listen to the toll of the evening bell in the distance mountain temple, embrace the gentle rhythm of a love song. A lovely woman gracefully rows a small boat, as it carries you through the fragrance of the lotus flowers, sending subtle ripples through the lily pads. Gaze out across the vast, lonely desert as the sun begins to set, feel the melancholy of the huqin’s tragic story. Juxtaposed with the long, drawn-out melody of the qiangdi is the rushed fluttering of the pipa, while in the distance a shimmer of moonlight reflects off the cold steel of sword and armor. A singing girl next to the Qinhuai River continues to fill the night with her rendition of the bitter tale forever immortalized in A Jade Tree Blossoms in the Back Garden. A scholar filled with anxiety struggles with insomnia in his study, as a poet in the royal palace ponders on the past amid the sound of the cold rain outside his window. A journeyman traversing the great land gazes out across the springtime lake, recalling images of the alabaster-skinned beauty from his distant hometown. The aching cry of the cicada nestled among the trees damp with the dew of an autumn morning only contribute to the traveler’s equally joyful and painful memories he has of her.

In the peaceful times of the Tang Dynasty, song and dance enjoyed unprecedented prosperity, and when the Emperor dined with his many vassal lords the hall would be filled with cheers and laughter. Beginning with Emperor Xuanzong, the leader of each successive generation would carry on the tradition he initiated of organizing the Pear Garden operatic society, guiding the creation of countless new and novel works of music, and these songs were in turn disseminated throughout the land. Then one day the warning drums began to roll, cutting off a song mid-performance. The palace, along with the rest of the kingdom, fell into a state of chaos, and consequently many musicians fled the royal grounds to avoid death or capture, scattering among the populace, after which only their continued efforts through direct tutelage to the common people allowed the ancient music of Chang’an to live on. Among the scores which survived, some made their way along the Silk Road, and just happened to be recorded on the walls of the Mogao Grottoes sutra caves, where they have been preserved until today, so that, with records like the Dunhuang Music Scores, even now we can have a very good idea of what music from that era sounded like. Another set of songs from the late Tang Dynasty were carried east across the East China Sea to Japan, where through the hands of local royalty they were transcribed in the Records of Morality, thereby successfully encapsulating the spirit and essence of Tang society within the medium of classical Japanese music.

Rhymoi Music producer Ye Yunchuan put in many hours of travel and research for this album. Focusing this time on the great Tang Dynasty, which reached its peak 1400 years ago, he has captured the essence of the poetic people of this time. Chang’an music, the most ancient form of royal music in China, and the oldest extant collection of music, the Dunhuang Music Scores, along with the Tang music captured in its original form in the zheng song compilation Records of Morality, were all recorded in shorthand, then passed on verbally, leaving only archaic references for us to decipher. Ye Yunchuan blazes new trails as he combines the old with the new, reviving these ancient songs by infusing them with the carefree spirit of jazz music, combining a Western improvised vocal style with traditional Chinese folk instruments. By regarding the development of contemporary folk music with inclusiveness equal to the Tang people, perhaps we may once again find the romanticism, elegance and freshness that modern life so lacks.

Li Dakang, a top-notch recording artist with over 40 years’ experience, using state-of-the art equipment at Communication University of China, writes a new chapter in the development of Chinese folk music, which he holds so dearly to his heart. The “new seven divas” of Chinese neo-classical Chinese folk music, Zhao Xiaoxia (guqin), Yang Xue (erhu), Su Chang (guzheng), Yu Yuanchun (pipa), Li Juan (di and xiao), Di Lin (ruan), and Ma Rui (percussion), all young and very talented musicians, who have performed for previous Rhymoi albums such as One with Nature. On the recording for this compilation, they provided their unique perspectives and interpretations of the rich history and culture of the Tang Dynasty and Dunhuang to the live recordings, taking this collection to levels of enthralling beauty never heard before, for a sound that is elegant and subtle while still retaining the strength and resilience of Tang society.

The bright moon gazed quietly upon the luster of Chang’an for so many years, just as it gazed down upon the flourishing Dunhuang for many years prior. Today the same moon sees songs from these distant times brought to life once again with awe-inspiring vigor. They tell the stories of stunning yet tragic beauty, of the vast, desolate plains of a battleground. Ancient aesthetics and modern fortitude shine together, the heft of history and dynamism of poetry meld as one. Beneath a temptress moon, a song carries on into the unending night.

1.出塞

取材于《仁智要录》：《王昭君》、《剑器浑脱》，叶栋译谱

汉家秦地月，留影照明妃。一上玉关道，天涯去不归。——李白

清亮而珠圆玉润的古筝，流溢出幽雅宛转的旋律。传说中的那位绝色女子，告别汉宫登程北去之时，或许就在马背上弹奏相仿的歌。美妙至极的音韵，映衬着她倾城的容颜，竟使经过的鸿雁，忘却展翅而跌落于地。乐至中段，琵琶疾驰而入，和应着轰然鸣动的大鼓，以凌冽气势展开恢弘壮阔的边塞意境。玉门关外的明月，以亘古不变的光华，映照旷远苍茫的大漠。颠簸在和亲路上的女子，将生离死别的痛楚深藏于心，惆怅地消失在天涯尽头，徒留二胡悠长的吟奏。

1. Beyond the Frontier Fortress

Based on Records of Morality: “Renzhi Important Book”,“Wang Zhaojun”,“Jian Qi Hun Tuo”transcribed by Ye Dong

The guzheng shares its full-bodied, well-rounded sound, bringing to life the exquisitely subtle melody. That incomparably beautiful woman of legend may have played a similar song as she left the Han palace on horseback to travel north. The achingly beautiful melody reflects her stunning visage, which according to folklore would cause wild geese passing overhead to forget to continue flapping their wings, and fall to the ground. At the middle section of the song the pipa rushes in, mirroring the thunderous rumble of the great drums, and with a cold vehemence brings the listener to the desolate expanse of the borderlands. The bright moon outside the jade gate, with its eternal brilliance, fills the endless abyss of the desert with its light. The young woman, as she travels along the uneven road, buries deep within her heart the agony of her eternal parting with her loved ones, as she sadly disappears into the horizon, leaving only the lingering cry of the erhu.

2.霓裳舞三台

取材于《长安古乐半字谱乐谱》：《三台》 李健正译谱

玉阶寂寞坠秋露，月照当时歌舞处。当时歌舞人不回，化为今日西陵灰。——程长文

三台，是指东汉建安年间曹操在邺都修建的以铜雀台为首的三座高台，既是兵家战略要地，也是与文人骚客宴饮赋诗，与姬妾宫女歌舞欢乐之所。洞箫吹奏出清雅而古朴的悠长声响，如皎皎明月，映照在断瓦颓垣之上。随后乐曲节奏由缓入急，涌泻变幻的古琴，神采飞逸的琵琶，加之沉稳而热烈的鼓声，令觥筹交错，歌舞升平的皇家筵席重现眼前。尾声处宴乐逐渐息弱，颤动的箫声，如鸿雁的低鸣，在怀古游人的耳畔回荡。

2.Dance of the Luscious Silks on the Three Terraces

Based on Chang’an Ancient Music Banzipu Music Scores: “Three Terraces”, transcribed by Li Jianzheng

The “three terraces” in the title refers to the three high platforms built by Cao Cao, the first of which was Bronze Sparrow Terrace, during the Jian’an Era of the Eastern Han Dynasty. Their location in his capital, the city of Ye, was a strategic military point, as well as where many scholars and poets came together to wine, dine and write poetry, not to mention enjoy the performances of the palace’s singers and dancers. The dongxiao plays an elegant yet simple and unadorned tune, reminiscent of the soft glow of the moon upon the ruins of a once proud palace. Then the song’s tempo begins to pick up, the everchanging sound of the guqin joins in, along with the runaway fluttering of the pipa. These, combined with the fervent yet deliberate beat of the drum, take the listener back in time, to a royal banquet filled with song, dance, and raised wine cups. As the song ends the festivities draw to a close, and the trembling sound of the xiao, much like the distant call of a wild goose, echoes in the ears of the lonely traveler from a distant past.

3.撒金沙

取材于《敦煌乐谱》：《撒金沙》

秦时明月汉时关，万里长征人未还。但使龙城飞将在，不教胡马度阴山。——王昌龄

冷月苍凉，城关雄伟，历经千百年的战火纷乱，见证多少戍边将士思乡的寒夜。琵琶铮铮作响，伴着低沉雄浑的大鼓，恣情舞动着澎湃而激昂的乐音，以悸动心弦的跌宕旋律，道尽历史的荒凉与深邃。饮一杯浊酒，回首茫茫云海，将思归的苦楚，化为不破楼兰终不还的壮志决意。暗夜中乐声渐绝，唯有泪泪涌动的月牙泉水，于风沙中呜咽低语，传颂豪迈悲壮的英雄传奇。

3. Scattered Golden Sands

Based on Dunhuang Music Scores: “Scattered Golden Sands”

The somber moon and magnificent pass have stood over these battlegrounds for hundreds, even thousands, of years, and have born witness to countless borderland soldiers as they longed for home on a cold night. The pipa chimes in, and is joined by the deep rumble of the large drum, spurring on the passion surging from the music, with a heart-pumping melody spinning a tale of desolation and insurmountable darkness. Raise a glass of cloudy wine, look back across the expanse of the clouds, take all of your longing for home, and turn it into insoluble resolution. The music fades into the dark night, leaving only the Crescent Moon Spring, flowing quietly like a stream of tears, as if wishing to recount the tale of the brave heroes who have now become legend.

4.忆江南

取材于《长安古乐曲谱》：《忆江南》，李健正译谱

江南好，风景旧曾谙。日出江花红胜火，春来江水绿如蓝。能不忆江南？—— 白居易

源于盛唐的教坊曲，经大诗人白居易之手，被点化为色彩明艳的千古名篇。中阮以丰满动人的音色，咏诵出对江南盛景的无限追忆。悠扬宛转的竹笛，仿佛轻盈跃上枝头的鸟儿，在绚烂盛开的花朵间啼鸣。轻柔顿挫的二胡，如千里碧波，在迷人春色的胸怀中荡漾。江南的诗意之美，在歌女如芙蓉般清丽的舞姿中，在辽远悠长的山寺晚钟里，在皎洁的月色和桂花的清香中，在天涯离人的脉脉思念里。

4. Memories of Jiangnan

Based on Chang’an Ancient Music Scores: “Memories of Jiangnan”, transcribed by Li Jianzheng

Originating from the Jiaofang songs of the peak of the Tang Dynasty, and through the expert hands of master poet Bai Juyi, this song went on to become a timeless classic which has since been enjoyed by countless generations. In this rendition ruan brings the song to life once again, as it tells of myriad memories of the Jiangnan region’s incomparable beauty. The aching song of the bamboo flute invokes visions of birds singing and leaping from branch to branch amidst the newly sprung blossoms. The intermittent hum of the erhu is like the emerald waves of the river, cascading tirelessly as onlookers enjoy the spring scenery. The idyllic beauty of Jiangnan can be found in the elegant lotus-like dance of the singing girl, the distant echo of the evening bell at the mountain temple, the white glow of the full moon paired with the fresh scent of osmanthus flowers, and the tender longing of the wandering traveler.

5.阳关

取材于《减字谱七弦琴古歌》：《蔡氏五弄》 汉代蔡邕作曲 李健正译谱

渭城朝雨浥轻尘，客舍青青柳色新。劝君更尽一杯酒，西出阳关无故人。——王维

琴箫相和，钟鼓共鸣，让创作于东汉时期的抒情歌赋，在此化为咸阳古道上依依惜别的曲调。青青的客舍，与翠绿的杨柳，在雨后润湿的空气中，构成一幅明朗清丽的画卷，令这场深情的送别，少了几分黯然销魂的哀愁。在骏马的嘶鸣和鼓乐的催促中，最后饮尽一杯酒吧。天涯旷远，知己难求，乐声包含着深挚的惜别之情，萦绕在轻柔的春风里。

5. The Yang Pass

Based on Notated Seven-String Ancient Songs: “Five Songs of the Cai Family”, composed by Cai Yong, transcribed by Li Jianzheng

The qin and xiao join in harmony, as the bell and drums strike in unison, bringing this poem, first created in the Western Han Dynasty, to new life as a transfixing melody recalling a scene of parting ways at an ancient pass of Xianyang. The image of the quaint guest house, transposed with the jade green of the willow trees, amidst the moist air after a fresh rain, together form a captivating picture of what may be the most difficult parting of a lifetime, so beautiful yet so full of heartache. As the stallion neighs and the drums roll in impatience, this drink is to be the last. One of the most difficult things in the world is finding someone who truly understands oneself, thus this song, with its straightforward and heartfelt melody, is filled with sincere blessings toward a friend who is about to head out on a distant journey, as the spring breeze swirls around them.

6.夜宴

取材于《敦煌乐谱》：《急曲子》 席臻贯译谱

新弦采梨园，古舞娇吴歈。曲度绕云汉，听者皆欢娱。——李白

琴筝即兴合鸣，以洒脱奔放的趣致，营造出流光溢彩的动人层次。琵琶拨弦如珠落玉盘，未成曲调已动人心魂。鼓声深沉饱满而大气，烘托出一场华丽筵席的热烈气氛。竹笛吹出清新柔美的韵律，犹如吴侬软语般含情脉脉，令江南少女俏丽明艳的舞姿跃然眼前。在敦煌的幽暗洞窟中沉睡千年的无名乐曲，此刻被珠联璧合的丝竹合奏所唤醒，依然令聆听者如痴如醉。

6. Evening Banquet

Based on Dunhuang Music Scores: “Fast Song”, transcribed by Xi Zhenguan

The qin and zheng come together unexpectedly, and with an unbridled wildness create a layered effect that is colorful, fluid and touching. The pipa’s strings are like the sound of jade beads falling into a glass pan, and even before forming a coherent melody already strike deep to the soul. The drums are rich and lustrous in sound, full of vigor, highlighting the fervent and resplendent atmosphere of the song. The zhudi’s song is crisp and fresh, recalling the soft-spoken manner of the southern Chinese, invoking images in one’s mind’s eye of a Jiangnan dancing girl’s graceful movements. An untitled song that has been dormant in the dark depths of the Dunhuang Grottoes for thousands of years is now awoken by the perfect harmony of strings and wind, captivating listeners as if it were only a day old.

7.古风

取材于《敦煌乐谱》：《又曲子》，席臻贯译谱

思牵今夜肠应直，雨冷香魂吊书客。秋坟鬼唱鲍家诗，恨血千年土中碧。——李贺

古琴低缓飘渺，箫声吹奏出苍凉意境，抒发此世无知音的痛楚心声。通透润泽的玉石，击打悬于架上的磬，如黯夜中环佩的回响，在冷雨的淅沥声中，在灯盏明灭之时，展开凄清而奇诡的画面。萧瑟寒凉的秋风，拍打着书斋的门扉，恍惚迷离间，仿若南北朝时的大诗人鲍照之魂魄，竟前来凭吊同样怀才不遇、忧愤难眠的诗人。举杯断绝歌路难，人生失意无南北。幽幽古韵，为数千年来那些天赋异禀而命运颠沛流离的才子，献上一曲动情的挽歌。

7. Ancient Winds

Based on Dunhuang Music Scores: “Youquzi”, transcribed by Xi Zhenguan

The guqin plays a deep, ethereal song, as the xiao creates a desolate atmosphere, together expressing their anguish of living in a world without a soulmate. The crisp, lustrous sound of the jade stone strikes against a rack of stone chimes, like echoes of a jade pendant in the depth of the night, amidst the patter of the cold rain, as the light of the lantern vanishes, all that is left is a desolate, lonely scene. The indifferent cold autumn wind rattles the door frame of the small study, and for one brief moment it’s as if the spirit of the great poet of greatly unrecognized talent, Bao Zhao, were there, pondering on all his sleepless nights of poetry writing. Let’s raise our glasses and toast to what we have, life is full of unknowns and mysteries of what’s yet to come. This is an ode to all those talented yet tragic poets of countless years past, a lamenting song of romance and longing for them.

8.凉州

取材于《长安古乐半子谱乐谱》：《凉州》、《甘州》，李健正译谱

葡萄美酒夜光杯，欲饮琵琶马上催。醉卧沙场君莫笑，古来征战几人回。——王翰

丝绸之路的风，挟裹着西域的沧桑往事，掠过古战场的滚滚黄沙。琵琶悠扬拨动，伴着边城女子的翩然舞姿，奏出一片尽情尽致，豪放旷达的营帐宴饮气氛。二胡则以时而哀婉，时而柔情的音色，烘托叱咤沙场的将士们悲壮而豁达的生死感悟。关山月色下，出阵鼓乐忽而响起，惊破白玉酒杯中的缠绵醉梦。随着一段急促而激越的木鱼击响，气势雄壮的凉州铁骑，再次奔腾驰骋在苍凉而飘渺的戈壁蜃景中。

8. Liangzhou

Based on Chang’an Ancient Music Banzipu Music Scores: “Liangzhou” and “Ganzhou”, transcribed by Li Jianzheng

The wind from the Silk Road envelopes the vicissitudes of the Western Regions, sweeping past the rolling yellow dunes of ancient battlefields. The rise and fall of the pipa accompanies the fluttering dance movements of the borderlands girl, creating a full-fledged vision of a military barracks banquet celebration. The erhu, on the other hand, is at times sorrowful, at times gentle, juxtaposing the contrasting feelings of solemnity and acceptance felt by soldiers toward life and death. Under the moonlight at the mountain pass, the call of the battle drums suddenly fills the night, calling an end to peaceful dreams of fine wine in a white jade cup. Next the fervent chatter of the woodblock joins in, as the valiant warriors take to their horses, once again striding across the boundlessly desolate gobi plains of Liangzhou.

9.泛龙舟

取材于《仁智要录》：《泛龙舟》 叶栋译谱

舳舻千里泛归舟，言旋旧镇下扬州。借问扬州在何处，淮南江北海西头。六辔聊停御百丈，暂罢开山歌棹讴。讵似江东掌间地，独自称言鉴里游。——杨广

由隋炀帝杨广所作，在唐代依然作为歌舞大曲广泛流传的古乐，描绘了金碧辉煌的巨大龙舟，在新修筑的大运河中巡游的壮阔景象。大鼓铿锵鸣响，琵琶慷慨弄弦，似浩浩汤汤的水波与棹歌交融，激起一片意韵悠长的金石之声。古筝以婉转低沉的音色，穿行其间，仿佛在追思万艘龙舸绿丝间的繁华盛景，又犹如在叹息挽舟者寒骨枕荒沙的悲凉命运。如歌如啸、跌宕起伏的乐声，承载着万古情愁，重现二世而亡的大一统王朝的最后辉煌。

9. The Dragon Boat

Based on Records of Morality: “The Dragon Boat”， transcribed by Ye Dong

This song was written by Emperor Yang of Sui, and throughout the Tang Dynasty was still in common use as a dance song. It describes the scene of an enormous dragon boat made of dazzling gold and precious jade, as it coasts down the newly constructed Grand Canal. The large drums rumble as the pipa strums liberally, the two as different yet coordinated as the rippling waves of the river and a pair of oars churning amidst them, for a stunning effect that leaves a lasting impression. The guzheng, with its subtle, sultry tones crisscrosses through the music, as if it were the great dragon boat on its search for some long-lost island in the uncharted sea, or maybe its pilot on his long, lonesome voyage. The song fluctuates without restriction as it pours out its story, recalling memories of the splendor of a kingdom gone yet not forgotten.

10.柳含烟

取材于《长安古乐曲谱》：《柳含烟》，李健正译谱

河桥柳，占芳春。映水含烟拂路，几回攀摺赠行人。暗伤神。乐府吹为横笛曲，能使离肠断续。不如移植在金门，近天恩。—— 毛文锡

古筝款款深情，如歌如诉，为原本含蓄哀怨的词牌，赋予一片明朗开阔的意境。胡琴、笛子和阮，以西洋复调的色彩轮奏主旋律，如同重重如烟的细柳丝绦，见证过不胜数的悲欢离合，在春风中拂动着连绵不绝的离愁情思。折一支柳条，赠予即将逐波而下的旅人。唱一首乐府，寄托送别者时而豁达时而感伤的复杂心情。此去经年，愿君珍重，纵使天各一方，依然能共赏烂漫春光。

10. Smoke in the Willows

Based on Chang’an Ancient Music Scores: “Smoke in the Willows”, transcribed by Li Jianzheng

The guzheng passionately strums its telltale tune, offering a fresh, novel envisioning to this intrinsically melancholy poem. The huqin, dizi and ruan play the main melody, with Western-style polyphonic repetition, embodying the many thin branches of a willow tree as they swirl in the wind like a rolling cloud of smoke, as if recollecting all the joyful moments and sorrowful partings they have witnessed. A woman breaks off one of these branches, and offers it to a traveler who is about to set out on a new journey. She sings him a yuefu song, filled with her complex emotions of blessing and trepidation for the traveler. She only hopes that after he has reached wherever he may be going, he may once again return her, so she has someone to enjoy this perfect spring beauty with.
