受赤壁賦當中對萬物變與不變的觀點啟發。木笛如瞬變的潮流；日本笙如不變的事理。世界上所有事物似乎未曾變過，但周遭的事物又似乎每天不斷地在改變。變與不變，端看觀看萬物的觀點。
The introduction of this piece is from The First Chibifu(赤壁賦), an old Chinese poem, written by Su Shi(蘇軾). I was inspired by the conception of this poem, the perspective of change in the universe. I took the idea into the roles of sho and recorder. It seems everything in the world has never changed, but it actually keeps changing by the things happening around us. Whether it keeps changing or not, depends on your perspective.
客亦知夫水與月乎？
逝者如斯，而未嘗往也；
盈虛者如彼，而卒莫消長也，
蓋將自其變者而觀之，則天地曾不能以一瞬；
自其不變者而觀之，則物與我皆無盡也，
而又何羨乎？
且夫天地之間，物各有主，
苟非吾之所有，雖一毫而莫取。
惟江上之清風，與山間之明月，
耳得之而為聲，目遇之而成色，
取之無禁，用之不竭，
是造物者之無盡藏也，而吾與子之所共適。
Do you happen to know the nature of water or the moon?
Water is always on the run like this, but never lost in its course;
the moon always waxes and wanes like that, but never out of its sphere.
When viewed from a changing perspective, nothing in this universe can remain unchanged even within a blink of an eye,
but when looked at from an unchanging perspective, everything conserves itself, and so do we.
Therefore, what’s in them to be admired?
Besides, in this universe, everything has its rightful owner.
If something does not belong to you, then you shall not even have a bit of it.
However, the fresh breeze over this river and the bright moon above the mountains are an exception.
If you can hear it, it is a sound to you; if you can see it, it is a view to you.
It never ends and is never exhausted.
It is the infinite treasure that nature has for both of us to enjoy.
