In the history of traditional Chinese music, "High Mountains and Flowing Water" is a famous Guqin song bearing profound friendship and noble sentiments. The story behind it originates from the "Boya drum and piano, bosom friend" in the Spring and Autumn Period. Boya, a famous piano player in ancient times, was a bosom friend who understood the rhythm deeply and could understand the artistic conception of the music. When Boya composed this song for the death of his best friend Zhong Ziqi, he expressed his endless sorrow and memory for his dead friend with the sound of the piano. Therefore, "High Mountains and Flowing Water" is often called the theme of "Boya mourning his son period".

The song is divided into two parts, namely "high mountain" and "flowing water", which vividly shows the grandeur and continuity of nature. The first half of the "high mountain", the melody is grand and solemn, as if the lofty mountains straight into the sky, symbolizing Boya's noble personality and the child's outstanding insight; The second half of the "water", the rhythm is smooth and long, like a babbling stream gathered into a river, pentium ceaselessly until the sea, allegory of the two people's deep friendship like water eternal flow, even if the life and death can not be blocked.

"High Mountain and Flowing Water" not only achieves high attainments in art form, but also becomes a model of friendship and friendship in Chinese classical music with its profound humanistic connotation. It tells a moving story that transcends time and space, extolling the supreme realm of spiritual connection and emotional tacit understanding between people, and also embodies the unique charm of music as a carrier of emotional expression. This ancient qin song is still read and performed by people today, and has become a brilliant treasure in the excellent traditional Chinese culture, constantly inspiring and touching the hearts of every listener.
