Roving Exhibition - A Rendezvous with the Guqin
Drunken Elation
The Mysterious and Fantastic Handbook (1425)
Reconstructed by Yao Bingyan
This piece was attributed to Ruan Ji (210-263), one of the “Seven Sages of the Bamboo Grove”. The music was reconstructed by famous guqin player Yao Bingyan (1921-1983) in the 20th century. It is a short and lively piece, depicting a literatus trying to escape from precarious politics by indulging in wine.
