Zhong Ziqi, Yu Boya

One year, Yu Boya was ordered by the King of Jin to go to Chu. On August 15, he arrived at Hanyang estuary by boat. Parked at the foot of a hill in the storm. In the evening, the wind and waves gradually subsided, the clouds cleared and the scenery was very charming. Looking at the bright moon in the sky, Yu Boya was very excited. He took out the piano he brought with him and played it wholeheartedly. He played one tune after another. Just as he was completely immersed in the wonderful piano sound, he suddenly saw a man standing motionless on the shore. Yu Boya was taken aback, and a hard hand broke a string. Yu Boya was wondering why the man on the shore came, when he heard the man loudly say to him, "Sir, don't be suspicious. I am a firewood collector. I came home late. I heard you play the piano when I came, and I thought it was wonderful. I can't help standing here and listening. "

Yu Boya looked at it carefully by moonlight. There was a load of dry wood beside the man, so he was a woodcutter. Yu Boya thought, how can a woodcutter understand my piano? So he asked, "Since you know the sound of the piano, please tell me what tune I am playing?"

After listening to Yu Boya's question, the woodcutter smiled and replied, "Sir, what you just played was Confucius' song praising his disciple Yan Hui. Unfortunately, when you played the fourth sentence, the string broke. "

The woodcutter's answer was completely correct. Yu Boya was overjoyed and invited him aboard for detailed discussion. When the woodcutter saw the piano played by Yu Boya, he said, "This is a lyre! According to legend, it was made by Fu. " Then he told the story of the lyre. Yu Boya could not help secretly admiring the woodcutter's words. Then, Yu Boya played some tunes for the woodcutter, and asked him to identify the meaning. When he played the grand piano, the woodcutter said, "This piano expresses the majestic momentum of the mountain." When the sound of the piano became fresh and smooth, the woodcutter said, "The sound of the piano played after that expresses endless running water."

Yu Boya couldn't help but be pleasantly surprised. What he expressed on the piano was not understood by anyone in the past, but the woodcutter in front of him actually heard it clearly. Unexpectedly, under this wild ridge, I met a long-lost bosom friend, so he asked the woodcutter's name, Zhong Ziqi, to have a drink with him. The more they talk, the more speculative they become. After a brief meeting, they became sworn brothers. Make an appointment to meet here next Mid-Autumn Festival.

After tearful parting with Zhong Ziqi, Yu Boya came to Hanyang Estuary as promised, but he waited and waited, but Zhong Ziqi didn't come as promised, so he played the piano to summon his bosom friend, but after a long time, no one came. The next day, Yu Boya asked an old man about Zhong Ziqi's whereabouts. The old man told him that Zhong Ziqi had died of illness. Before he died, he left his last words, saying that he would build the tomb by the river and listen to Yu Boya's piano when he met on August 15.

After listening to the old man's words, Yu Boya was very sad. He came to Zhong Ziqi's grave and sadly played the ancient song "High Mountain". After playing, he broke the string, sighed and smashed his beloved lyre on the bluestone. He said sadly, my only confidant is dead. Who can I play this piano for? "

In order to commemorate their friendship, people built a guqintai where they met. Guqintai is located at the western foot of Guishan Mountain in Hanyang.

The story of Boyazi period has been spread through the ages, and the beautiful music of high mountains and flowing water still lingers in people's hearts and ears, but the story of hard to find a bosom friend and hard to find a bosom friend has been staged from generation to generation.

Besides, Xiangru is a humble person. I am ashamed and don't want to be under him. " And publicly threatened: "When I see Lin Xiangru, I must humiliate him." Xiangru listened and refused to see him. As in the court, he often shirked his illness and refused to compete with Lian Po for priority. Later, Xiang Ru went out and saw Lian Po, so he turned away.

Therefore, Xiangru's guests advised Xiangru: "The reason why we left our relatives and family to serve you is to admire your noble character. Now you are in the same position as Lian Po. General Lian openly said some rude words, but you dare not avoid him. Too much fear. Most people will be ashamed of it, let alone their relatives! We people are useless, please let us go!

Lin Xiangru resolutely stopped them and said, "What do you think of the prestige of General Lian compared with that of the King of Qin?" The master replied, "Nature is not as good as the king of Qin. "Xiangru said," With the prestige of the King of Qin, I, Lin Xiangru, reprimanded in public and humiliated the ministers. Although I am incompetent, am I afraid of even the general? But it occurred to me that the rape of Qin did not dare to force Zhao, just because of the two of us. Two tigers struggle and cannot coexist. I did this because I put the national emergency ahead and personal hatred behind. "

Later, when Lian Po heard this, he carried Vitex negundo on his back with bare arms and was guided by all. Lin Xiangru's family made amends and said, "I'm a rude and despicable person. I didn't know you tolerated me to this extent, General!"

The two finally made up and became friends through life and death.
