The mountains and flowing waters are hard to find.

Yu Boya, a native of Jin during the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, was very good at playing the piano. When he first met Zhong Ziqi at Jiangkou, Hanyang, he saw that Zhong Ziqi was a woodcutter and did not believe that Zhong Ziqi could tell the piano, so he asked Zhong Ziqi many special questions about instrumental music to test him. Zhong Ziqi answered it like a lesson. But Boya still had doubts, so he plucked the strings tightly and played a song, wanting to test Zhong Ziqi.

As soon as Boya finished playing the piano, Zhong Ziqi praised: "It's so beautiful, the will of the great master is on the high mountains." Boya played another song again, and Ziqi praised: "It's so beautiful, the ambition is flowing water." Boya was shocked, pushed the piano and stood up, and bowed repeatedly to blame him, "Don't respect! Damn respect! There is a beautiful jade hidden in the stone. If you judge people by your appearance, wouldn't you let down the wise men in the world?" He also offered to become a brother of different surnames with Zhong Ziqi and make an appointment to meet here again in the Mid-Autumn Festival of the next year.

In the second year, Yu Boya went to the meeting as scheduled. After waiting for a long time, Zhong Ziqi still did not see him. Later, he found out that Zhong Ziqi had passed away a few months ago due to illness.

Yu Boya suddenly "cracked inside the five parts, tears gushed like springs, falling down beside the cliff, and dizzy on the ground." After crying, Yu Boya played the piano in front of Zhong Ziqi's grave to pay condolences.

After the mourning song was played, Yu Boya thought that from then on, he had no knowledge of his soulmate, so who would play the piano? So he threw it hard and smashed the piano to pieces. Later, the story of "Boya broke the piano and thanked his soulmate" was widely circulated in history.

Yu Boya and Zhong Ziqi were both from the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, but Yu Boya was a doctor in Jin State, and Zhong Ziqi was a woodcutter in Chu State. Although the two had different countries and had very different statuses, they were both proficient in music and loved the qin art. When they met by chance, they made friends with "friends" because of their "members".

"This master of Chinese studies is playing "High Mountains and Flowing Water" on the top of the mountain. He is really a wonderful person!"

"High Mountains and Flowing Water" is a famous Chinese song. Hu Yongping has never heard of the piano music, but he knows the allusions in it and says infinitely.

"How many people can you know each other all over the world? This master of Chinese studies probably saw through the world, so he lived in seclusion in the deep mountains and forests!"

The image of a wise man with a lofty and lofty appearance appeared in Kong Tianyi's mind. The wise man had a long hair, a childish face, kind-hearted eyebrows, and his eyes were as deep as the stars in the night sky, seeing through everything.

"Come in!"

Mu Zhengyang had already heard the footsteps outside the house. After playing the piano music, he got three cups of tea on the table, and then said to the outside of the house.

Kong Tianyi and Hu Yongping were very excited when they came, but when they arrived outside the academy, they felt a little nervous, "I will see that master of Chinese studies soon!"

The two of them pushed open the door of the academy. There was a long table in the yard and a simple guqin on the table, but the dragon head at the tail of the guqin appeared vividly.

A young man with beautiful eyebrows was sitting at the table, wearing a white ancient practice suit, with a faint smile on his face, giving people a feeling of spring breeze for ten miles.

"Are you Mu... Mu Zhengyang?" Hu Yongping kept looking at the young man in front of him when hesitated for a moment and said.

"Haha! Teacher Hu, please have tea!"

Among the two people who came, Mu Zhengyang knew the older one, Hu Yongping, the Chinese teacher who was studying at the No. 1 Middle School in the County, got up and made a gesture to ask for a seat.

Kong Tianyi and Hu Yongping sat down, but their eyes were searching in the yard.

"Zhengyang, I didn't expect there was a college on this mountain. Who are the people in the academy?"

Hu Yongping glanced around the academy and saw no figure. He thought that the master of Chinese studies should have been hiding, and asked indirectly.

"Every day, except for one of my students coming up the mountain, almost no one comes!" Mu Zhengyang smiled faintly.

"Your student? What about your teacher?"

Kong Tianyi spent a lot of effort to find the academy on the top of the mountain with Hu Yongping, but he asked unwillingly when he saw the master of Chinese studies.

"My teacher is sitting next to you!" Mu Zhengyang smiled politely at Kong Tianyi.

"Stop joking. Although I have taught you, I just read the script! Your teacher who lives in seclusion in this academy is the real master!"

Hu Yongping waved his hand quickly, not daring to rank alongside the master of Chinese studies.

"Master?" Mu Zhengyang asked in confusion.

"Zhengyang, the teacher of our county No. 1 Middle School organized a team building activity in Tiannan Mountain yesterday. When we climbed halfway up the mountain, we heard someone reading on the hillside. Not only did we understand the meaning of the book after hearing the sound of reading, but even the birds like concerts on the trees immediately calmed down! From my experience, the one who can have such a magical effect in reading must be a master of Chinese studies! To be honest, Tianyi and I admire the style of the master of Chinese studies and drove to visit us! But I didn't expect that you were actually worshipping that master of Chinese studies. Can you recommend us to your teacher?"

After talking, Hu Yongping didn't hide it. He wanted to use his teacher-student relationship with Mu Zhengyang to let Mu Zhengyang make a connection in the middle.

"Teacher Hu, I don't know if there are any masters of Chinese studies in Tiannan Mountain, but if you are looking for the second peak scholar yesterday afternoon, that person should be me!"

Mu Zhengyang took a sip of tea and said slowly.

"Haha, Zhengyang, when you were studying, it seemed that other homework was among the best, but the Chinese language subject was quite serious! The major in the university is not Chinese, and even if you are a famous Chinese university, you are still 108,000 miles away from a master of Chinese studies! If you read thousands of books and travel thousands of miles, if you want to become a master of Chinese studies, in addition to being familiar with various classics, you must also have rich life experience and achieve the state of being able to master human feelings, which means writing. However, you are fortunate to be under that master of Chinese studies. Now you are hard-working and lay the foundation, and you may not have a day to become a real master of Chinese studies in the future!"

Hu Yongping expressed his expression very tactfully and implicitly, in fact, he was saying that Mu Zhengyang was too young and his knowledge accumulation and life experience were too far behind the level of a master of Chinese studies.

"If the scholars of the second peak yesterday were you, then are you the ones who played the piano on the top of the mountain just now?"

Kong Tianyi was extremely agreeing with Hu Yongping's statement. Mu Zhengyang was far from the master of Chinese studies he had imagined, so he asked again.

"Yes!" Mu Zhengyang nodded.

"Then are both a master of Chinese studies and a master of guqin playing?" Kong Tianyi asked deliberately.

Mu Zhengyang did not answer Kong Tianyi, and stood up from the table with his hands behind his back. Every time he read a sentence, he took a step in the yard.
