Idiom story

In ancient China, there was a famous musician named Boya who played the piano well. The ancients said: "Boya guqin, and Liuma Yangmo." It means that when Boya plays the piano, the wonderful concert attracts the horses who are eating grass to listen. once, Boya visited Mount Tai (Eastern China). The beautiful mountains and rivers attracted Boya on the spur of the moment, so he went to a nearby Pavilion, took down the bag, set the piano, tuned the strings, looked at the beautiful scenery and began to play. At this time, a woodcutter named Zhong Ziqi passed by here. He saw Bo Ya playing the piano, so he sat by and listened quietly. Boya is more and more happy. When he describes the towering mountains, the music sounds vigorous. The misty clouds are like a canyon in the sky, and there seems to be the echo of the cliff. Sitting on one side, Zhong Ziqi sighed to himself: "it's good for guqin, it's majestic for Mount Tai." It means like Mount Tai. When Boya intends to flow, his voice is murmuring and clanking, like the cold current of the secluded cave; cold and clear, like the stream of the pine root; the level current of the vast ocean; the sudden wind and rain, the flying current of the waterfall. Zhong Ziqi indulged in the music and said to himself, "what a good thing it is to play the Guqin and the soup is like running water." Zhong Ziqi can understand the artistic conception of the music played by Bo Ya and the emotion he reposes. Bo Ya is surprised to know that he has met a bosom friend. They are friends at first sight. We agreed to meet again at this time the next year. The next year, Boya went to the appointment as scheduled, but he never saw Zhong Ziqi. Boya was very strange and asked: Zhong Ziqi had already died. Bo Ya was so sad that he sighed that he would never have such a bosom friend in the future. In despair, he broke the string and broke the Baoqin. He never played again. In this story, Boya's music is "high mountains and flowing water". This piece has been passed down for several times and is still playing today. Later, it was divided into two parts: high mountain and flowing water. on August 20, 1977, the United States launched two Voyager spaceships. Scientists hope to meet "humans" outside the earth one day. Therefore, on the spaceship, there is a bronze record (even after a billion years, it will be as bright as new). There are 27 pieces of world famous music recorded on the record. Among them, the music representing China is the ancient song "high mountains and flowing water" played with guqin, including "flowing water".
