Features: The history of the Chinese nation is the history of literature, the history of beauty, and also the history of people. "The road is long and arduous, yet I will seek high and low." The advocacy of pursuing goodness and the pursuit of noble character. We strike the great bells and chimes, singing of the splendid culture! Praises the majestic! We see the "Three Caos" and the "Seven Sages," tempering their warrior spirit amidst the shadows of swords, gathering as scholars in the bamboo groves. We embark on a light boat, in the cries of monkeys, seeking the of Taibai, scooping up the moonlight from the river also scooping up the soul of a generation of poets. We stand before the thatched cottage with the vast sky and clear wind, feeling the touch of a century of solitude. We see Fan Zhongyan looking up from a high point, and Xin Jiakuan tapping the railings, lamenting the unfulfilled ambitions, expressing the worries of the world. Who still has the leisure to linger by the bright moon over the Twenty-Four Bridges? To linger with the jade-like beauty playing the flute on the river? We see the spring river flowing eastward, carrying away the thoughts of a lifetime of nostalgia. Do you understand? Why do the scholars get lost in the endless frost forest and the even more endless separations? Have you heard? Why do the masters sigh for a thousand years when facing the silent ruins and the finale of civilization! In the sound of sighs, a distant and melancholic Qiang flute echoes from the snow-covered Qilian Mountains and the vast Gobi Desert. That flute sound moves the tears of the ancestors and touches the emotions of the present. That flute sound transforms the rationality of the pre-Qin era, the romanticism of Quzi, the elegance of the Wei and Jin period, the grandeur of the Tang Dynasty, the artistic conception of the Song and Yuan dynasties, the sorrow of the Ming and Qing dynasties, the anxieties of the modern era, and the expressions of the contemporary era into a magnificent chapter. It condenses the long flow of life into a glimpse of aesthetics, nurturing the noble spirit, and reciting the hearts of generations.
