Ni Wenjie Gongyun: "The sound of pine, the sound of the stream, the sound of mountain birds, the sound of night insects, the sound of cranes, the sound of the piano, the sound of chess pieces falling, the sound of raindrops, the sound of snow sprinkling windows, the sound of sencha, all the sound of the clear."
