Background
editThe film does not contain any dialogue, allowing it to be watched by any culture. The only noises are the sound of the wind or other earthly elements. The film is considered a masterpiece at the artistic level, since it was essentially a landscape painting in motion.[2] Artistically, it uses a Shan shui painting style throughout.
Story
editThe story is about an impoverished elderly scholar and a young boy who cares for him briefly in return for guqin lessons.[1]
