Yu Boya was a famous music master who played the qin. He had been learning from nature to create beautiful
melodies(歌曲).
Once, Yu took a boat trip to the state(国) of Chu. Along the way, the river water rushed towards the east, leaving
the high mountains behind. The beautiful scenery inspired Yu. He took out his qin and began to play. After a while,
he noticed a woodsman(樵夫) standing on the riverbank, enjoying his music quietly.
Yu happily invited the man into the boat. The woodsman introduced himself, “My name is Zhong Ziqi.” After

“What a beautiful melody! I seem to see the rushing river.”
Yu was surprised by the woodsman’s words. “You really understand my music!” So the musician and the
woodsman became good friends. They decided to meet each other again at the same place the following year.
When that time came, Yu arrived on time, but did not see Zhong. He visited the village where Zhong lived and
