Released in 2006, The Tune of Ancient Xun (古埙之音) by Zhao Liangshan (赵良山) is a masterful exploration of the ancient Chinese wind instrument, the xun (埙) — one of the oldest known clay flutes in China, revered for its haunting and meditative tone. This album, recorded with remarkable clarity in FLAC format, offers an intimate journey into the depths of Chinese traditional music and poetic emotion.

Across eight evocative tracks, Zhao Liangshan unveils the soulful expressiveness of the xun, weaving a tapestry of nostalgia, melancholy, and timeless beauty. The opening track, “Ai Ying” (哀郢), sets the tone with a mournful melody inspired by classical Chu poetry, embodying sorrow and longing for lost homelands. “Nan Xiang Xiao Diao” (南乡小调) follows with a gentle folk-like charm, while “Chu Ge” (楚歌) resonates with the tragic heroism of ancient times.

The centerpiece, “Chang Ting Yuan Man” (长亭怨慢), is deeply emotional, painting a scene of farewell beneath a pavilion — a recurring image in Chinese literature. “Luo Tuo Song” (骆驼颂) and “Ku Dao Xing” (苦道行) shift toward philosophical reflection, blending the earthy timbre of the xun with subtle accompaniment to evoke the hardship and perseverance of life’s journey. The closing pieces, “Hu Xiang Chun Xiao” (湖乡春晓) and “Shan Gui” (山鬼), bring serenity and mystique, capturing nature’s quiet beauty and the spiritual echoes of ancient myth.

Zhao Liangshan’s performance is both technically refined and emotionally profound. The Tune of Ancient Xun stands as a timeless tribute to Chinese heritage, inviting listeners into a meditative soundscape where music becomes poetry and silence holds meaning. For enthusiasts of traditional music and world instruments, this album is a rare and essential gem.
