At sunset, the wind is sad and the sound is everywhere,
I don’t know who I am worried about.
The wilderness is desolate and the beacon is stationed for thousands of miles,
The vulgar, the old and the weak, the young and the strong are beautiful.
Everywhere there is water and grass, let’s settle down and build a fortress,
Cattle and sheep gather like bees and ants all over the field.
When the grass is exhausted and the water is exhausted, the sheep and horses all migrate,
Qipai flow hate and evil live here.

Note:
Cai Yan, namely Cai Wenji, one of the four talented women in ancient China, was a famous writer in the Eastern Han Dynasty.
Wang Di (1923-2005), who studied under Guan Pinghu, is a famous guqin player and ethnomusicologist in my country.


It’s rare to be willing to toss, so I asked friends from the club to help me sing the first four sentences. Whether it’s a song or a drama, the seventh issue has been delayed for a long time. The singer dragged on after the song, and the song was perfected.

Let’s talk about the creation of the poster:

In the play, Guo Jia and Cao Cao’s “Struggle for Robbery” was one of the few unmodified scenes in the first draft. Later, I realized that the production of the play required an artist to produce a poster. Since I saw the poster of the fake eel in the first issue, I thought about what the seventh issue of “Struggle for Robbery” should look like:

If the background is a huge Go board, the chess board blends with the grassland. The black and white cattle and sheep on the grassland are scattered on the board like chess pieces, and the protagonist is grazing on the grassland—as small as a chess piece.

The whole play has two lines, one is the military war of historical heroes, and the other is the protagonist’s experience of being exiled in the Southern Huns under the background of the times. The Go term “competition and robbery” on the one hand alludes to Cao Cao’s military deployment in Hanoi, on the other hand, it reveals the protagonist Cai Yan’s firm belief in fighting against life and enemies in the Southern Huns.

It’s a pity that I even found a few artists who refused to cooperate after knowing my idea, so I found a fake eel to try my luck. After all, I should hand over such an important poster to her, so I feel relieved.

“Is it for commercial use?”

“Not for commercial use, but if you want to pick it up, I will give you a commercial price.” That picture has been in my mind for many years, and I must make her out! I’m prepared to do whatever it takes (actually it’s not commercially settled).

After waiting for more than two months, the poster finally came out. It was as satisfactory as ever, but it was a pity that there were no cattle and sheep on the grassland. She said that she could not compose the picture completely according to the requirements. The artist should have their professional judgment and aesthetics.

The seventh beat of Hu Jia’s 18 beats first appeared in Si Nuo Bo .
