The two Chinese artists, Wu Tong and Yo-Yo Ma, collaborated in the air, hoping that the world that was experiencing suffering could be soothed for a moment. The track is called "Rain Falling From Roof", and the rain is dripping from the roof.
Yo-Yo Ma is the initiator of the public welfare music project "Silk Road", if you are familiar with Wu Tong's Silk Road Orchestra, you must have heard the version of Yo-Yo Ma and Wu Tong, the violin and sheng of the piano and the sound, there is a kind of si chun jing and the awakening of all things to blend with the beauty of the spring breeze, which shows the ingenuity of Yo-Yo Ma and Wu Tong, and Wu Tong's blowing part, there is a cello with plucked strings, adding a sense of tranquility and Zen, like such cross-border Chinese and Western fusion of music, everyone is fascinated
Author Wu Tong's explanation of this music:
"During the Northern Song Dynasty of China (960-1127 AD), there is a story of a Zen monk who became enlightened through rain falling on the eaves. On a rainy day, the Zen monk asked the Zen master of Gui Province what is the fundamental meaning of Buddhism, and the Gui Provincial Zen Master immediately pointed to the raindrops that were dripping from the eaves, and the Zen monk who had been troubled for a long time suddenly realized the answer from it. Immediately do the words: "The water droplets on the eaves are clearly drained; break the dry, and rest in the present." (Raindrops falling from the eaves, sprinkling on the ground, this sound breaks the appearance of time and space, and makes me feel an equal and undifferentiated heart)
