This is one of my very favorite Chinese traditional music records, especially the fiery The Great Embuscade with Li Tingsong on the pipa lute (Side A2) and the introspective Flowing Waters performed by Guan Pinghu on the qin zither (Side B1).

Un de mes albums préférés de musique traditionnelle chinoise, avec notamment le fougueux La Grande Embuscade joué par Li Tingsong au luth pipa à 4 cordes (Face A2) et l’introspectif Eaux Courantes interprété par Guan Pinghu sur la cithare quin à 7 cordes (Face B1).

"Only those who take leisurely what the people of the world are busy about can be busy about what the people of the world take leisurely."

Chang Ch’ao (Zhang Zhao), 156-236
(Translated by Lin Yutang in The Importance of Living, 1937)


"Si vous voulez faire en sorte 
         que votre expression poétique soit parfaitement réussie,
N’ayez pas d’aversion
         à l’encontre du calme ou du vide:
Car le calme
         parachève les divers mouvements;
Car le vide
         accueille en lui tous les mondes possibles."

Su Dongpo (ou Su Shi), 1037-1101
(Dans François Julien, L’éloge de la fadeurà partir de la pensée et de l’esthétique de la Chine, 1991)
