Dialog between Fisherman and Woodcutter Updated +Created
Lit: fish timber question answer.
The dialog is also known as allegory for an incredibly deep philosophical discussion between an idealized wise woodcutter and a fisherman, e.g. mentioned at: www2.kenyon.edu/Depts/Religion/Fac/Adler/Writings/Fisherman%20and%20Woodcutter.pdf
This song is just too slow for Ciro Santilli to make much out of it.

Stolen traight from www.silkqin.com/10ideo.htm on silkqin.com:
Wind in the pines and a babbling brook are nature's melody. A qin was brought along, but there is no need to play it
The The Gateless Barrier vibe and Chinese naturalism is just awesome.
Li sao (guqin song) Updated +Created
www.facebook.com/131402556881886/posts/655763214445815/ gives an origin:
Li Sao was composed by Cheng Kangshi in late Tang dynasty based on the poem Li Sao, authored by Qu Yuan (340-278 BC) in the Warring States period of ancient China.
The silkqin.com entry: www.silkqin.com/04qart/07sqmp/57ls.htm does not mention this however.

Wine mad Updated +Created
It is easy to get this piece wrong. Two many videos on YouTube play it too fast. Zhang Ziqian plays perfecly, with slightly inconsistent timing, perfectly simulating the drunkard.
