055 Ye Wanlan's performance, top-notch Su embroidery [1 update]
"..."
The zither room descended into silence in an instant.
Lin Qin was dumbfounded.
She was ready to provide some covering remarks, but Ye Wanlan had directly answered.
What is "Rise in the Tide"?
One of Shenzhou's ten great classical masterpieces!
It was also one of the three complete pieces that survived the War of Ten Thousand Armies and is the pièce de résistance of the Sect Leader of Heavenly Sound Sect, Lin Fanyin.
The score of "Rise in the Tide" had always been kept by the Lin Family and had never been made public.
The president of the Yunjing Zither Association had visited many times to no avail; the People of Lin Family wouldn't relent and release the score.
The version of "Rise in the Tide" circulating in the market now is simplified and not the true "Rise in the Tide" from history.
Even so, the simplified version is a top-level difficult piece; without ten years of foundational zither training, it's impossible to perform "Rise in the Tide" in its entirety.
