Creative Inspiration

The practioner, from first sensing the autumn wind's chill, to listening and resting the heart, to releasing and letting go, until arriving at enlightenment — the autumn wind remains the same, but the practioner is both the same and no longer the same as before.

Music Style

  • Ancient Chinese Style: Creates a landscape ambiance reminiscent of ink wash paintings, evoking an ethereal and classical sentiment.
  • Ethereal Female Vocal: A pure, heavenly female voice that perfectly conveys the sincerity and emotion of this piece.
  • Guzheng: The zither's crystalline notes flow like a babbling stream depicting autumn scenery, at times resembling the crisp, clear trajectory of the autumn wind.
  • Drum: The steady and resounding low-frequency drumbeats, with their striking interludes and concluding strikes, are truly awe-inspiring.
  • Bamboo Flute: The flute's distant and lingering tone resembles the wind's whisper piercing the autumn night, akin to a gentle sigh.

Lyrics

[Verse]  
Cold Dew night  
Wutong leaves fall in empty yard
Autumn's bright moon in sky
In my new robe, I feel the chill

The lone lamp dies  
Walking alone in autumn wind
Night so vast and silent  
Who can I share this solitude with

[Chorus]  
Tracing along autumn wind
Frost pierces bones
Alone on cold mountain I awaken
Seeing through layers of mist

Listening to autumn wind  
It meets sound of wisdom
Echoing through dark night  
My mind rests thoughtless

[Verse]  
Waves subside  
Lakes and seas reflect clear shadow
Fences lean low  
My mind fills with mist and glow

Words forgotten  
Drunk in autumn light
A single leaf-like boat  
Lying flat where sky and water meet

[Chorus]  
Set free autumn wind  
Traces beyond clouds
Leaves fall rustling and bare
Mind unbound, all becomes crystal clear

Embraced by autumn wind  
Like a coat of jade
Laughing at my Bodhi
Life and death, a traveler's lodge
