The word “zhiyin”, which means close friends who can understand you very well, comes from the story of Yu Boya and Zhong Ziqi in the Warring States Period.
Boya was good a playing guqin. One day, he was playing music on his way home on the boat. To Boya’s surprise, Ziqi, a woodcutter(樵夫)who happened to pass by, could understand exactly what he wanted to express through his music. After a long talk, they became good friends. Since Boya had to return to his state, they agreed to meet again in the next year.
Unluckily when getting back to visit Ziqi, Boya heard that his friend had died from a disease. Boya was so sad and in front of Ziqi’s tomb(墓), he played again the music he had played when they first met. People were deeply moved when they heard the music because they thought they heard the rivers and mountains crying. When finishing playing, Boya broke his guqin into pieces. From then on, Boya never played again.
People in the Song Dynasty(朝代)built the Guqin Tai in Hanyang, Hubei Province in memory of the deep friendship between Boya and Ziqi, which became an important part of the local culture.
▲ The famous ancient Chinese classical music piece Gaoshan Liushui, also known as High Mountain and Flowing Water, was performed during the G20 Summit(峰会)in Hangzhou, Zhejiang Province in 2016, which was developed from this story. The musical performance won praise from guests, because it not only showed the beauty of traditional Chinese culture, but also expressed China’s wishes to develop its friendship with people from around the world. Besides, during COVID-19, Wuhan, as the city once hit hardest by the disease in China, received masks and other things from its sister cities such as Japan’s Oita. They stood together and looked out for each other.
