Album Review: China Music Of The Qin by Wu Wenguang Let’s cut to the chase—this album is like a quiet storm. Released in 1992 under JVC in Japan, China Music Of The Qin feels like stepping into an ancient forest where time doesn’t exist. It’s folk, world, and country rolled into something that defies labels altogether. And honestly? That’s its charm. Wu Wenguang plays the guqin with such soulful precision it almost hurts. You can tell he’s not just playing notes; he’s telling stories through strings. Producer Soh Fujimoto and sound engineer Toshiyuki Ito deserve props too—they didn’t mess with perfection but let the music breathe naturally. Now, onto the tracks. The one that hit me hardest was “Liu Shui” (Flowing Water). Man, this piece is hauntingly beautiful. Every pluck of the string feels like ripples spreading across a still pond. There’s no rush, no need for flashy embellishments—it’s pure emotion bottled up in sound. Listening to it made me want to sit by a riverbank somewhere, even though I live nowhere near one. Then there’s “Jie Shi Diao-You Lan,” which starts off subtle but builds into this hypnotic rhythm you don’t expect at first. It reminds me of walking through misty mountains, unsure if what you’re seeing is real or imagined. These aren’t songs you listen to casually—they stick to your bones. Here’s the thing about China Music Of The Qin: it’s not background noise. This is music that demands your full attention, kinda like staring at a starry sky on a clear night. It makes you think about life, history, silence—all those big things we usually avoid because they feel heavy. And here’s my random thought to wrap this up: listening to this album feels like overhearing someone whisper secrets from centuries ago. But instead of feeling creepy, it’s comforting. Like maybe, just maybe, humanity hasn’t lost touch with its roots after all.
