Qin Qihuang introduced the piece they were about to play to Liu Wentian.
The title is "Full River Red," chosen specifically to resonate with the famous poem by the renowned General Yue Fei.
This piece, like the poem, aims to demonstrate a heroic spirit of the dead clad in horsehide, defending one's home and country. Its style is desolate and ancient, requiring grandeur and the ability to touch the audience's hearts deeply.
The piece utilizes five instruments, specifically the pipa, guzheng, guqin, xiao, and drums.
Qiu Zhenwei plays the xiao, Association President Zhao Qian plays the drums, Qin Qihuang plays the guzheng, a middle-aged woman in her forties plays the pipa, and playing the guqin is Liu Wentian.
This piece requires extremely high coordination among players. They had tried before, with Qin Qihuang playing both guqin and guzheng and then synthesizing the sounds electronically, but the result was disappointing, failing to evoke the desired feeling.
