The piece I chose for Chapter 7, East Asia, is called High Mountains and Flowing Water. This piece consists of only instrumental sounds. This is a song from the Qin dynasty by, Yu Boya in 221-206 BC. I chose this song because it is very soothing . It also creates a scene in the mind of a mountain and a flowing river. Another aspect that i like about this song is that it has the Guqin as one of the main instruments. A Guqin is an ancient seven-stringed instrument that is a relative of the Zither.I found this song on youtube while searching for the most popular traditional Chinese pieces of music. if you want a song that takes you to a relaxing space in your mind, this is just the song for you!
