Grain in Ear
— The nightingale crows the green willow, the bright moon wakes up the sky
In the twenty-four solar terms, Xiao Man is a model of the blending of natural laws and wisdom in life.
Small full, not only marks the beginning of the crop full but not fully mature state, but also implies a moderate, humble and harmonious philosophy of life-small to full, is complete.
The accompaniment of the main melody of the dulcimer in the first paragraph of “Xiao Man” is two different synthesizer sequences, followed by the melody of the acoustic guitar, which produces a nostalgic texture in the mutual reflection of the dulcimer and the synthesizer. As if on a summer afternoon, I caught a glimpse of an old thing by chance, reflecting a soft and slightly mottled light and shadow in the sun, which made people feel deeply.
Entering the second paragraph, the addition of the string quartet enriches the emotional color of the music. The strings match the synth motivation and ask and answer with the acoustic guitar. This kind of interaction, like the breeze of early summer, brings a touch of coolness and freshness, and is also a profound understanding of the circulation of time and the rhythm of life.
