#1093 — Winter spice 冬香听雪斋

Happy Monday everyone,

I recorded this solo guzheng piece today when the snow was coming down. What a fun experience it was for me to accompany the dancing snow flakes! I’d like to quote the poet Zhāng Xiàn’s (1341 A.D.) poem for this moment:

听雪斋 The House of Listening to the Snow

张宪 [元代]

万籁入沈冥，坐深窗户明。微于疏竹上，时作碎琼声。

Translation:

All sounds are in the deep darkness, I sit deep in the window and see the light. The sound is faint on the sparse bamboos, sometimes making soft cracking sounds.
