I played this magnificent beautiful piece about 5 years ago in Shanghai (and cities nearby). I play the cello and I was in a youth orchestra from The Netherlands and Belgium, and we were invited to come to China and give some concerts there. Those 10 days I had there were seriously the best of my life , and every time I listen to this, it reminds me of that amazing trip, the music we got to play there and the amazing people I got to meet. I will cherish this piece for ever!
+Martine van der Meijden Thank you so much for sharing your story. Everyone has (or will have) a memory that will never fade, and it's amazing to know how your best memory is so closely related to this Chinese classic. I also love this music piece and the folktale story behind it so much. They are beautiful.
+Martine van der Meijden Thank you for sharing your story. It is great to see how music can build up moments that are unforgettable. BTW, how did you find the violin cello duet part (conversation between the two main characters as in the story)?
Martine van der Meijden do you know the story as well ? such an beautiful ,twisted and sad love story, it breaks my heart every time when I remember this music and the story, thanks for sharing:) you should check out the movie too !
Nicole Bella Guan yes I do know the story and yes, it is a very sad story full of love and sacrifice.. I didn't know there was a movie about it! Is it also called Butterfly Lovers? Going to put that one on my bucketlist :) you aswell thanks for sharing!
The name of this piece is: "Liang Shanbo and Zhu Yingtai", which describes a love story. In ancient China, women were not allowed to go to school for education. And a beautiful girl, her name is Zhu Yingtai. She wanted to go to school very much, so she persuaded her parents to allow her to pretend to be a man. She looked like a boy, and began to go to a distant school to receive education. In school, she met a young classmate named Liang Shanbo. The two were very friendly and became brothers. But the boy didn't know that she was a girl. The study task was over, and each had to return to their hometown. Liang Shanbo sent her home and walked eighteen miles with her home, reluctant to separate. After the separation, the boy’s teacher’s wife told him that Zhu Yingtai was a girl and asked her to be a matchmaker before leaving school so that the two of them could become husband and wife. After Liang Shanbo learned from his teacher's wife that Zhu Yingtai was a girl, he was overjoyed and immediately arranged for a matchmaker to propose to Zhu Yingtai's house. However, Zhu Yingtai has been betrothed by her parents to the child of a wealthy family. That is a bad boy. Zhu Yingtai disagrees very much, but her parents keep her at home and prevent her from going out. She has no choice. Because of this incident, Liang Shanbo returned home and became seriously ill once, and then died. After Zhu Yingtai found out, she was extremely sad and asked her parents to pass by Liang Shanbo's tomb and worship Liang Shanbo on the day she was sent to marry. Her parents agreed to her request. When Zhu Yingtai paid homage to Liang Shanbo, she planned to bump her head on the tombstone. At this time, there was a thunder and lightning in the sky, and it rained heavily. Liang Shanbo’s tomb blasted a hole, and Zhu Yingtai entered In the tomb, the hole is closed. After the rain passed and the sky cleared, their souls became a pair of butterflies flying out of the grave, dancing on the grassland full of flowers, and finally became permanent lovers.

I knew the story, and loved the passion in the music, BUT with this guide I can focus on the different meanings of each movement which allows me feel the story. I'm grateful that I found your comment, many thanks.
I played this piece sophomore year of high school and it got me a gold rating. Where I live, the judges almost never hear eastern pieces, so I'm glad to have played this
A young woman named Zhu Ying Tai disguised herself as a man to attend a school in Hangzhou. On her way there, she met a fellow traveller and schoolmate named Liang Shan Bo. They became good friends and swore honorary brothers. For three years, they studied and lived together. Yet, Liang never realized that Zhu was a woman. Before their graduation, Zhu asked Liang to visit her in her hometown and promised to marry her "fictitious" younger sister to him. When Liang arrived, he was ecstatic to discover her true identity. However, their hope of marriage was soon dashed when Zhu's parents betrothed Zhu to their schoolmate Ma Wen Cai. Liang died of a broken heart. On Zhu's wedding day to Ma, she tore off her wedding gown and threw herself against Liang's tomb, which opened up and enveloped Zhu. Then, from the tomb, a pair of butterflies emerged.
I’m literally addicted to listening to this. This is such a breath of fresh air, when it comes to music. The style is so unique compared to what I’m used to, which would be composers from Europe. I myself am Chinese, and long to hear tunes from Asia more often. It’s honestly so beautiful.
I visited the West Lake (Hangzhou) musical fountain last month. This was one of the songs (although abridged) the fountain danced to. It was one of the most beautiful moments of my trip. Ever since, this song continues to haunt me. #loveChina
This story really happened in the 380 AD of the Jin Dynasty. As the great writer of the Jin Dynasty, Xie An was told the story of Liang and Zhu. He asked the emperor to rebuild the cemetery of Liang and Zhu. Now the cemetery still exists. In the 8th century AD, the story of Liang and Zhu became legendary. The poems written by Luo Ye of the Tang Dynasty spread to Korea, making this story famous in Asia.
One of the most beautiful pieces of Chinese music embodying the soul of China. Its mountains, art and most of all the Yellow River in all its moods. Soft flowing at times and powerful in its flood stages.
+Liu John Yes John and the love in the story has its moods like the river. I think that the composer as all composers are products of their culture and of course the Yellow River has indelible significance in most Chinese.
Thank you for replying. Yes I definitely agree with you in the sense of cultural influence. But I'm thinking that maybe Yellow River is a bit too strong and magnificent to fit the idea of this song?
In China the Yellow River Cantata is usually played with Butterfly Lovers. There are many beautiful pieces of Chinese music but the variety is as varied as its people. I would suggest becoming familiar with Chinese traditional instruments to see if you like the sounds. My favorite is the ERHU which to me speaks from the heart. Try to youtube "12 girls band" for a good sample of both traditional and Western style sound.
Listen to this when you already knew the story behind it, you can actually hear the mood and tone ! Just like a story coming out from different kind of musical instruments! The peak, the trough, truly amazing !
when I was living in Hanzhou earlier this year the street cleaning cars would always play this piece - i heard it so many times in the park as well an i always thought it was so beautfiul! I'm so happy to have finally found it and I can play it while i do my mandarin homework!
The Butterfly Lovers is a Chinese legend of a tragic love story of a pair of lovers, Liang Shanbo (梁山伯) and Zhu Yingtai (祝英台), whose names form the title of the story. The title is often abbreviated to Liang Zhu (梁祝) and often regarded as the Chinese equivalent of Romeo and Juliet.
This is truly one of the great masterpieces in music. I also really loved how Taipei YuehFu Drum and Bugle Corps made this piece into an incorporation of a full drum corps show.
A senior at my college is performing this for her senior recital and I can’t wait to watch her perform it. I have a deep passion for both violin and Chinese culture so it’s very exciting for me.
the beauty of this love story is that it is pure human, pure love, and pure secular. young man and woman hang out and study under the same roof, and they fall in love with each other. it is simple, deep from heart, untinted by fame or gain. conventional dogma has no place in their tender feelings. under the oppression of traditional Chinese culture, they made unwavering choice for love and only love, even at the threat of death.
When I heard this beautiful music, understood this touching story of love, opened my heart for Daoism and the wisdom of ZhuangZi… an entire new life started. ❤
The composer, Chen Gang’s father is the famous composer Chen Gexin, who made the song “Meigui Meigui, Wo Ai Ni”, which was adapted to English by Frankie laine who made the song Rose Rose, I love you, which is the literal translation of the original Chinese song sung by Yao Lee. Chen Gexin’s life was of many hardships, killed in the cultural revolution, where his wife had to walk 200 miles in the cold to find the ashes of her dead husband. Chen Gang, heartbroken, played this song in his funeral. 🤲
Not sure if ever hearing a sweeter touch of a violin - and have checked other versions, but this violinist is the one for me. There is a certain endearing love he has with the music. I feel he might be the same as the one who plays the Road to Heaven too. It certainly sounds like his touch there too.
I have a version of Erhu (a Chinese musical instrument), which is more suitable for my culture. It sounds like an old man is telling people the story of Liang Shanbo and Zhu Yingtai. The sound of Erhu is not as sweet as the violin, but Liang Zhu is a sad story. The bleak voice of Erhu plays a sweet melody, heralding the failure of this kind of love. This is just my personal preference:)
This is a mater piece of Chinese composers Gang Chen and Zhanhao He. It described an eternal love story of a lady named Yingtai Zhu and a man named Shanbo Liang. The melody is driven from same story in Yue Opera in China. I felt the ending part was played in a weak and too soft way. I like the edition made by Zhongguo Sheng or Lina Yu.
I would like to let you know this story was nothing between a scholar and a maiden. The lady was born in a very wealthy family and posed as a man to go to university where she met a poor but righteous man when studying together. (In that ancient time ladies were not allowed to go to university). They became very good friends and the lady fell into love with the man but the man didn't know his buddy actually was a lady....
And the latter half of the story: later on the man found out the fact and the two fall in love with each other. Unfortunately the woman's family has already arranged a marriage with a local governor for the woman, and force the separation of the woman and her lover. Finally the woman resisted to death, and the man followed her out of great sorrow. The legendary ending of the story is they became butterflies and come out of grave, and they with be with each other forever and ever more...
Zhuo Chen I think you got it the wrong way round. The lady told the guy before they returned home, that the guy should visit his(or her) house and court his sister (actually herself). When the guy came and realized his roommate for 3 years (??? can you imagine such idiot ???) was a woman and he was madly in love with her, only to have his heart broken when they realized they could not marry each other. The guy died, devastated. The lady, on her bridal sedan chair on her way to the groom of the arranged marriage, jumped out of the sedan chair, ripped off her bridal gown and the bride's crown, to reveal the mourning dresses she wore underneath and ran to the grave of the guy. She wailed in deep grief, and the heavens heard her, a lightning strike at the tomb of the guy and opened the ground to a chasm, to which the lady jumped in to join her lover underground. When the confusion cleared, a pair of beautiful butterflies emerged from the chasm and ascended up to heaven and in the heavenly court the lovers danced in the presence of heavenly beings and fairies.
In a discussion on culture I admitted to a Chinese youngster that your culture was much older than ours, the English. He looked at me with surprise, 'Your culture? You had none 'till the French brought theirs he said.
nanyanguo1 It was, but it's one of the rare epics that doesn't really have any influence from the Chinese Communist music typical of the 1950's to the 1970's

And the latter half of the story: later on the man found out the fact and the two fall in love with each other. Unfortunately the woman's family has already arranged a marriage with a local governor for the woman, and force the separation of the woman and her lover. Finally the woman resisted to death, and the man followed her out of great sorrow. The legendary ending of the story is they became butterflies and come out of grave, and they with be with each other forever and ever more...
Zhuo Chen I think you got it the wrong way round. The lady told the guy before they returned home, that the guy should visit his(or her) house and court his sister (actually herself). When the guy came and realized his roommate for 3 years (??? can you imagine such idiot ???) was a woman and he was madly in love with her, only to have his heart broken when they realized they could not marry each other. The guy died, devastated. The lady, on her bridal sedan chair on her way to the groom of the arranged marriage, jumped out of the sedan chair, ripped off her bridal gown and the bride's crown, to reveal the mourning dresses she wore underneath and ran to the grave of the guy. She wailed in deep grief, and the heavens heard her, a lightning strike at the tomb of the guy and opened the ground to a chasm, to which the lady jumped in to join her lover underground. When the confusion cleared, a pair of beautiful butterflies emerged from the chasm and ascended up to heaven and in the heavenly court the lovers danced in the presence of heavenly beings and fairies.
Yeah, Its confusing with all the actioms in it but your right.
Both versions are correct, they're just different ways of telling the story. The message is the same.

A beautiful master piece!
There's not much other music like this!
我喜歡這首歌！
我妹妹正在為她的管弦樂隊演奏這首歌。
我三十多年前就擁有這樂曲錄音帶，我覺得西崎崇子演奏是最好聽，剛巧，她和德國人丈夫辨事處(公司)，就在我公司貼鄰，九龍北帝街夏利文大廈。
我仍然經常聽西崎崇子與林克昌香港管弦樂團的錄音
In a discussion on culture I admitted to a Chinese youngster that your culture was much older than ours, the English.
He looked at me with surprise,
'Your culture? You had none 'till the French brought theirs he said.

I ADORE THIS MUSIC...
believe this orchestra piece was composed in the 1950s in Mao's era after the establishment of communist China .
nanyanguo1 It was, but it's one of the rare epics that doesn't really have any influence from the Chinese Communist music typical of the 1950's to the 1970's
1959
