There's an enjoyable guqin duel ...Thanks Matt.<br /><br />There's an enjoyable guqin duel in John Woo's epic film 'Red Cliff': link <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g3SIC6RGKBk" rel="nofollow">here</a>. <br /><br />The writer I mention at the end of this post, Ts'ai Yung, didn't live long enough to be involved in the battle portrayed in Woo's film (fought in the winter of 208/9). Ts'ai was the leading writer at the court of Tung Cho (Dong Zhou) and died in prison in 192 when Tung was overthrown by an alliance that included the warlord Ts'ao Ts'ao (Cao Cao). It was Ts'ao Ts'ao who would go on to take power and then suffer spectacular defeat in 'Red Cliff'. (He was also responsible for rescuing Ts'ai's daughter Ts'ai Yen after she had been abducted, but that is another story).<br /><br />The actual music in 'Red Cliff' was recorded by Zhao Jiazhen. There are lots of clips of her on line - e.g. playing <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qHdh50_P7m8" rel="nofollow">'Flowing Water'</a>.Pliniushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08782989819480181487noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19151341.post-23719204343919326752017-04-07T10:43:15.173+01:002017-04-07T10:43:15.173+01:00Thanks for this.
