Silk Language of Spring

About This Novel

--When the spring rain on the guzheng strings meets the wet feelings in the ink and wash, the old dream of the century-old house is awakened. In the ancient Jiangnan town with apricot blossoms and misty rain, Lin Shutong, a guzheng teacher, meets Shen Qingya, a painter who rents his ancestral home. There was rain in the west wing. He raised his head and painted the damaged beams. His figure overlapped with the scholar in his great-grandmother's diary seventy years ago. The old house was renovated, and the yellowed theater tickets and faded embroidered handkerchief revealed the past: on a rainy night in the Republic of China, Lin Yue, a famous Kunqu opera singer, hid the peony embroidered handkerchief; during the Guangxu period, the young lady hid the "Rain Beating the Plantains" in her wedding dress. Nowadays, Lin Shutong's jade earrings reflect Shen Qingya's wisteria, ink and swallows shuttled by Gongchi, and the sound of piano and ink are intertwined. Invitations to overseas art exhibitions broke the tranquility. Shen Qingya left an inscription on the unfinished wisteria scroll, "One spring lasts for a long time, spend money on it." Lin Shutong played the banana-leaf guzheng, waving his fingers to knock off the fallen heroes, but he didn't know that there was a painting of "Listening to the Qin" from the Ming Dynasty hidden in the studio. The silver bracelet on the woman's wrist in the painting was the same as her birthmark. The copper wind chimes in the old house are ringing, and Mei Lanfang's theater tickets, Gu Kaizhi's painting theory, and Du Liniang's lyrics turn into spring rain, intertwining two love affairs and becoming a new legend. The most touching spring scenery is not in the garden, but in the raindrops on the eyelashes and the ink marks on the rice paper.
