On a softly snowing morning, I woke to a room filled with stillness. The snow outside seemed to absorb every sound. In that moment, I could hear the “sound of silence.” Perhaps this is what it means to hear something that is voiceless. Yet I could feel its presence—it was real.

Jiang Xiao-Qing, a member of the Li Hua Dance and Music Ensemble, shines both in recordings and live performances. From her music, I always sense the “changes of nature.” Nature breathes differently in each season, and from her guzheng tones unfolds a boundless world—one that stirs the listener’s imagination with gentle, vivid clarity.

As I reflect on her unique performance style, I find myself searching in her music for feelings like “a clear mountain stream” or “the moonlight”—images of serenity. Or the blue sky of a bright winter’s day, which always carries a quiet melancholy. Jiang Xiao-Qing is one of those rare artists who can express such emotions through sound alone. Her beauty lies in her tone—gentle, elegant, and noble.

Even in the most subtle transitions between notes, her guzheng sound is expressive. May her breath of music reach deep into your heart and soul. Listen closely, and you just might hear this “sound of silence.”
