1, Zhu Xian in one thousand years is not so hard, I want to play ghosts. An old friend left me to go to the yellow soil, and flowing water and mountains know each other.
2. Boya never dies, and people have broken the piano through the ages. I'm not hitting anyone!
3, Boya Guqin, Zhong Ziqi listened to it, Fang Guqin aspired to Mount Tai, Zhong Ziqi said: "The piano is good, but it is as majestic as Mount Tai."
4, this song Xi stopped playing, and the three-foot lyre died for you. For thousands of years, Zhu Xian had no such sadness and wanted to play ghosts and gods. An old friend left me to go to the yellow soil, and flowing water and mountains know each other.
5, high mountains and flowing water Yu Boya, lyre confidant Zhong Ziqi.
