The only noises you can hear are the sounds of water and wind. The story shows us a young girl and an elderly man. She cares about him and in a return, he gives her guqin lessons.

The joyful tune traversed the serene, painted landscape via a vibration that propagated an audible wave of which cannot be seen, but only heard. The wave of pressure pierced the old sage’s ear drums, alerting him to the presence of a young, vivacious heart who’s spiritual vase had yet to be filled with the wisdoms of the world. But the sage had neither the time nor the willingness to instruct the uncouth adolescent, as he remained steadfast in his cryptic journey. Nevertheless. Fate, as one would conjecture, inhibited his forward progression, forcing him to recuperate and recognize his last objective before his demise. Knowledge,after all, is a precious gift, one which must be transferred to the next generation to carry the luminescent “spirt” of the past into the future; thus, propelling mankind further into enlightenment through the “standing on the shoulders of giants.” The guqin juxtaposed the jaunty tune of the flute with its methodical, quiet sounds. It offered sophistication and clarity via its demand for meticulous precision, rather than violent strumming. A test of patience, if you will. A reward of delayed gratification, which cannot be realized until the process of learning has been fulfilled. Such is life. And just as life capitulates to the inexorable flow of time, humans, too, must purposefully accept the natural flow of the world around them. The flowing streams must be followed in their natural direction and not against it, to avoid unwanted struggle. A guqin should be played in a scrupulous, unhurried fashion, to prevent undesirable tones which may hurt the ears. And the end of a life must be seen as a fulfilled journey with a passing of understanding to the next generation, instead of clinging to possession(s) which cannot be transported into death. If one wishes to live a simple life, they must live simply. Listen to the music. Respect and understand nature. And pass your teachings on to others. Simple. Yet so beautiful.
