This is a Chinese classical stone carving called "Ziqi Playing the Xiao", which depicts the story of Bo Ya, a famous musician in the Spring and Autumn Period, and his friend Zhong Ziqi.
Bo Ya was skilled at playing the qin, but he had never found someone who could understand him.
One day, he met Zhong Ziqi in the mountains and forests, and they became close friends at first sight.
To express his gratitude to Zhong Ziqi, Bo Ya decided to use his qin music to convey his inner feelings.
However, when he played, he found that no one could understand his music.
Therefore, he decided to smash his qin to pieces to show his cherishment of friendship and disappointment with the secular world.
This story tells us that true friendship is priceless, and even under the pressure of the secular world, we should adhere to our beliefs and pursuits.
