Boya Juexian is a historical allusion, which comes from Liezi and Lu Chunqiu Benmei Pian, and is written by Lv Buwei.
Original story:
Boya played the guqin, and Zhong Ziqi listened to it. Fang Guqin aspired to Mount Tai, and Zhong Ziqi said, "It's good to be a guqin, and it's as majestic as Mount Tai." Between the few choices, and aiming at running water, Zhong Ziqi said: "It's good to play the drum piano, and the soup is like running water." After Zhong Ziqi's death, Boya broke the piano and never played the piano again, thinking that the world was full of drums.
Translation: Bo Ya is good at playing the piano, and Zhong Ziqi is good at listening to the sound of the piano. When Boya played the piano, he thought of the towering Mount Tai. Zhong Ziqi listened and said with admiration, "Great! Just like the towering Mount Tai stands in front of me! " When Boya played the piano, he thought of the vast rivers in his heart. Zhong Ziqi praised: "Well, it's like an endless river flowing in front of me!" ?
No matter what Bo Ya thinks when he plays the piano, Zhong Ziqi will speak his mind clearly. After Zhong Ziqi's death, Boya thought that there was no longer his bosom friend in the world. So, he resolutely broke his beloved piano, plucked the strings, and stopped playing the piano for life, so as to miss Zhong Ziqi.
Extended information:
1. Bo Ya Jue Xian is also called Bo Ya Gu Xian. It is a story about the deep friendship between Yu Boya and Zhong Ziqi, the emotion of attaching importance to emotion and righteousness, and the hard-to-find bosom friend.
2. Feng Menglong, a novelist in the Ming Dynasty, created Yu Boya's Thanks for Playing the Piano according to the legend of Bo Ya Jue Xian, which was included in Warning to the World.
3. Boya is playing the piano in the wild, but Zhong Ziqi, the woodcutter, can understand that this is a picture depicting "lofty ambition in the mountains" (mountains) and "lofty ambition in flowing water" (flowing water). Later, it was felt by the allusions of Boya Juexian, and later generations used "Mountain Flowing Water" as a metaphor for bosom friends and music. As one of the top ten ancient songs in China, "Mountains and Flowing Water" was once taken into space and put on a gold-plated record.
