Swedish Sinologist Cecilia Lindqvist studied the guqin (Chinese zither) under master Wang Di in China in the early 1960s.

The 85-year-old explains the ancient instrument's structure, techniques and literary references with vivid storytelling.

The Chinese version contains two CDs, featuring 21 representative guqin songs played by masters.
