Behind Qin's Emperor

27 Oct 2020, Hanoi, Vietnam

Look at her fingers dancing on the strings

I would prefer a pure guqin version, though

They say that guqin may be as old as 5,000 years, as old as Yi Jing

I'm now wondering, what would have happened, if he hadn't died? So YOUNG! Do you know who he is and who he was? But for his arts, there would be no Qin's Moon, or in short, no China of the history and no China of the present!

But he's not Qin's Emperor

Then I am asking myself, what it could have been, the relationship between him and it. When it appears, there is definitely war for peace, not war for war. It has, for thousands of years. And it's gonna be, soon enough. Yet to reach that stage, sacrifice is required

Bloodthirsty, can it be deemed pure?

FYI: This melody was written for him, about him, and even, [to] him. "The song of the [Ninth Prince] [on his journey to the Heaven/on his thousand-mile journey]" (Idk what that "tian" would mean, it has so many meanings, including at least two of these translations, but I think both of them, together - [The song of the Ninth Prince on his thousand-mile journey to the Heaven], that way, it would work well then)

His book, the one rated over Il Principe, the thing that I've been studying over the last decade. But still, I haven't fully read it yet, not even ten or fifteen percent thereof. I think that we, me and the book itself, are not ready, for us. The only book with a Vietnamese translation that I had brought to France, then back to Vietnam.

What would be his regret? Did he ever feel once~~~~

01:13, I forgot (_ _~~) In the original version, that was also a "tian"~~ la lả là lả ~~ la lả la lá

天行九歌 天行 ~ 九歌 what a wordplay! How deep was he? In the Chinese culture, 九 (as a sacred number) may represent 天; and 歌 and 行 may both represent a type of literature.

What hints! I haven't seen any further why now? Why~~ What else must I figure out? Help
