A Moonlit Night on the Spring River (Pipa Music)

Pipa by: Fang Jinlong

Originally a pipa solo piece, it has been popular in China since Ming Dynasty,  called “Pipa of Xunyang”, also named as Flute and Drum at Sunset.

Around 1925, this music is renamed as “A Moonlit Night on the Spring River”, which is the name of a poem from Tang Dynasty by Zhang Ruoxu. 

Since then, it was first adapted into a national orchestral piece.

After the liberation, it has been edited and adapted by many people, and it has become more perfect, which is deeply cherished by audiences at home and abroad.
