Music #71 - Chinese Classical (2)

07.《高山流水》High Mountains, Flowing Water  



08.大风歌Song of the Great Wind  

- by the founding emperor of Han Dynasty (漢高祖劉邦)
- 高祖還鄉:劉邦離起義、稱帝、身帶重病出征黥布(與韓信和彭越為三大功臣變叛臣),再帶一重箭傷返回長安的途中,探訪之前生活了48年、然後闊別了15年的家鄉(沛縣)。正是布衣出身、功成名就、衣錦還鄉、光宗耀祖,與所有的同鄉和親戚縱飲近廿天,還邊舞邊唱,手舞足蹈;擊筑、長歌、起舞、泣下。劉邦在那時那地創作了《大風歌》。
 
《史記•高祖本紀》酒酣 高祖擊筑 自為歌詩曰:大風起兮雲飛揚 威加海內兮歸故鄉 安得猛士兮守四方。高祖乃起舞 慷慨傷懷 泣數行下。(半年後去世了。)
還“施恩沛邑”和“復豐比沛”:沛邑和豐邑從此世世代代不用賦稅和服役。
