The Significance of Boya's Unique String

Boya Juexian, also known as Boya Guqin.

This is a story about how difficult it is to find bosom friends. Boya and Zhong Zi are a pair of good friends who have been praised for a long time. Boya is good at playing, while Zhong Zi is good at appreciating. This is the origin of the word "confidant".

After Zhong Ziqi died, Boya was very sad, thinking that there would never be a bosom friend in this world, and no one in the world could understand the artistic conception of his performance like Zhong Ziqi. So I broke my favorite piano, broke the strings and stopped playing all my life. [ 1]

"Boya Juexian" describes the profound friendship between Yu Boya and Zhong Ziqi, the emotion of attaching importance to emotion and righteousness, and the phenomenon that bosom friends are hard to find. According to this legend, Feng Menglong, a novelist in the Ming Dynasty, wrote Yu Boya's "Qin Xie", which was included in the Book of Warning.
