Very Beautiful Chinese Melody Song

Tea Song of Xiang River

The Misty Rain of Jiangnan-Chinese Pipa ft Chinese Bamboo Flute

The placement of the microphone was changed in this recording. Since my instrument was facing the wall, the microphone had been placed about 2 meters behind me.  This time, however, I moved it forward to 1 meter at compass bearing of 250 degrees relative to my body.  I have also changed the recording volume from "default" to "medium" since one to two recordings ago.  The recorded sound now seems to be less fuzzy, and I can hear the replay clearly even with the computer monitor's built-in loud speaker.

Translation of music title is part of the fun.  In order to understand the original title better, I google around to find explanations in plain Chinese language as well as other musicians' interpretation.  Then, if I cannot think of a good translation by myself, the web knowledge is borrowed again.  In this case, "Gild The Lily" seems to best fit the title metaphorically.

The photo is of a Class 1 military officer's Rank Badge in early 15th Century.  The woven or embroidered badges were usually of the finest workmanship, and metal (gold and silver) threads were often used.   More information on Rank Badge is explained in this link from the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York:

Gild The Lily 錦上花

Guqin Of Sky - Wu Nuo

A return of the 'record in a day' birthday EP/album that I haven't done in a couple years.   

Marred by near catastrophe as the forward strap screw on the main guitar decided to remove itself from the guitar mid-take - I kept the song anyway.

《葬花吟》
花谢花飞飞满天 红消香断有谁怜
游丝软系飘春榭 落絮轻沾扑秀帘

一年三百六十日 风刀霜剑严相逼
明媚鲜妍能几时 一朝漂泊难寻觅
花开易见落难寻 阶前愁杀葬花人
独把花锄偷洒泪 洒上空枝见血痕
愿侬此日生双翼 随花飞到天尽头
天尽头何处有香丘 天尽头何处有香丘

未若锦囊收艳骨 一杯净土掩风流
质本洁来还洁去 恰如污淖陷渠沟

尔今思去侬收葬 未卜侬身何日葬
侬今葬花人笑痴 他年葬侬知是谁
天尽头何处有香丘 天尽头何处有香丘

试看春残花渐落 便是红颜老死时
一朝春尽红颜老 花落人亡两不知
花落人亡两不知
