Nice to listen to them. But I haven't listened to all of the 24 songs yet since I paused to search the songbook corresponding to the 5th song (Xiao He Tang Shui) when I just finished my listening of it. -sunshinecanada(Sunshine Canada); 2018-11-29 (#4274@4096) +1

This is one of my favorites too! When I was a teenager, I didn't know that I was actually a bass, always trying to sing this one. But obviously it's better for tenors. -sailor(Ocean & Mountain); 2018-11-29 (#4279@4096)

The melody reminded me to search more info about the song, because I had a little bit impression that this song was good (but I almost forgot about all the details of the song). I immediately searched for the song. Amazing! I love it so much! -sunshinecanada(Sunshine Canada); 2018-11-29 (#4275@4096) +1

One thing I still don't understand is that, the lyric seems irrelevant to the title. But why? -sailor(Ocean & Mountain); 2018-11-29 (#4281@4096)

One of the setting in the story of this Yun Nan folk song is used as the name of the song. The whole picture is like this: under the silver moonlight, -sunshinecanada(Sunshine Canada); 2018-11-29 {213} (#4289@4096)
there are high mountains with forests; beside the bottom of the mountains there is a small river or creek; it's so quiet except the small river makes a sound of flowing water. (To be continued in next paragraph)
This romantic scenery triggers the A Mei, -sunshinecanada(Sunshine Canada); 2018-11-29 {401} (#4290@4096)
a bright and beautiful girl, the very strong feeling of missing her A Ge, her deeply loved boyfriend who is in the high and deep mountain. Then, the A Mei uses her sweet and soft voice and the beautiful melody to deliver her deep love to the A Ge, and she also wishes the flowing water in the small river can help her to pass her love to the A Ge. That's my understanding. Do you think it make sense?

There is also another version of the story regarding the song. That's a sad story. The river bank is the place the girl seeing off for the boy. I would rather believe the version I wrote. -sunshinecanada(Sunshine Canada); 2018-11-29 (#4291@4096)

By the melody, it doesn't appear to be a sad story. :) -sailor(Ocean & Mountain); 2018-11-30 (#4303@4096)

I hope the sad story in our world is as few as possible. 🙏 -sunshinecanada(Sunshine Canada); 2018-11-30 (#4312@4096) +1

I have listened to the song for many times. There are many different versions, -sunshinecanada(Sunshine Canada); 2018-11-29 {207} (#4276@4096) +1
also performed by different singers. So far I like the version performed by Chen Sisi the most. The feeling was so good whenever I listened to it. Thanks for your post. I will continue to listen to the rest.

My theory is that, if a song can last hundreds of years, it must be an excellent one. :) -sailor(Ocean & Mountain); 2018-11-29 (#4280@4096)
