The idea of the work comes from the patterns of "water pattern" and "Tai Chi Yin and Yang pattern" in traditional Chinese culture. The composer tried to borrow the Chinese ancients' thinking of "taking form from imagery", and through the deconstruction and reconstruction of the pattern, to show the thought of "Always Bringing is the Essence of Changes" in ancient Chinese philosophy. The work converts the "Tai Chi Yin and Yang pattern" into pitches in a way corresponding to the pitch names, forming two sets of pitch materials of "Yin" and "Yang". By refining and transforming various patterns of “water pattern”, dif erent musical sound materials are obtained. And through the "expansion" and "compression" of linear textures,the"interweaving" and "Shading" (the skill of polishing a painting with water) of dif erent texture gradation, the development of materials and the construction of structures are realized. The color of the work seems to be drifting in the scattered time and space: the ancient plain color pattern has experienced the washing of time and the precipitation of history, but what is left future generations is the dreamlike streamer and overflowing color.
