This piece pays tribute to Qu Yuan's "The Lament" - an ancient Chinese poem from the Warring States Period (475-221 BC). Scholars such as Huang Xiaodan theorize that the poet, a historian and a guardian of his nation’s spiritual traditions, expressed nostalgia and lament as his civilization transitioned from the Era of Mythology into the Age of Reason.

Can you post the lyrics in the description as well please?😍
Hi Ying, thank you for your comment! The lyrics are my own improvised vocables so they don't contain any particular meanings :)

@@RuiFuAre you familiar with Lisa Gerrard? She does something similar. You did a beautiful job regardless!
When Qu Yuan sang his Lament, he was probably already an exile, bianzhong might be too much, probably qin was more likely for an exile.
Hi 光宇, thank you for your comment & insight! I appreciate your interpretation of the poem - you're right, there are many qin pieces related to the Lament and that is probably the most common musical interpretation of the ancient poem. I believe, however, there can be different ways to tell the same timeless story from new contexts, instead of always literally illustrating the sentiment from the poet's point of view using the qin, which is traditionally only accessible to male literatis. I think of it as an ancient, maybe even later in time, prayer by the ceremonial shamans who might have honored the spiritual pursuits and lamented the fate of someone like Qu Yuan. I hope this makes sense and invites in different angles of storytelling than the traditional route. :)
@@RuiFu Oh my! You replied my silly thoughts. If I was a viking, then I would say by Odin's whiskers, your wisdom enlightened me like sunstone; if I was an alien spaceship AI, then I would say your kind reply warms my fusion core; if I was my neighbor cat Tom the Sneaky, then I would say something sweet in tail language; if I was my phone, then I would say reading your reply recharges my battery. As to me, a silly mortal two-legged, I couldn't agree with you more. May Goddess Muse smile upon you.
