What music should I pick for this issue? … Headache… There are too many pieces worth choosing from, and I don’t know where to begin.
j Let’s keep looking for a few more pieces with an Eastern flavor. Last time I put up some Mongolian music; this time I should return to the Huaxia tradition, right: the guqin.
“Drunken Fisherman Sings at Dusk”:
http://baike.baidu.com/view/800984.htm
“It sounds the same as ‘Fisherman’s Song’ but differs in mode. This piece truly has the meaning of laughing at the clouds and mist, and of drunken contentment in a world of wine; it is not something whose charm can be grasped by those who toil in the dust and have a crude, restless mind.”
