高山流水

>这个词用来比喻知音或知己，非常好的朋友。也用来比喻乐曲的高雅美妙。 它来自于中国古代一个故事，故事是这样的：
中国古代春秋战国时期，有一个楚国人叫俞伯牙，很善于弹琴，是当时有名的音乐家。有一次，他乘船到泰山游览，不巧遇上暴雨。为了解除寂寞，俞伯牙就拿出七弦琴在船舱里弹奏。一开始弹了一首描写雨景的曲子，琴声叮咚，令人陶醉。接着，他又弹了一首描写山崩的曲子，轰鸣之声，不绝于耳。这个时候，突然听到有人喝彩。俞伯牙走出船舱，发现岸上站着一名樵夫。他把樵夫请到船上，继续弹奏起来。他为樵夫弹了一首《高山》，弹完后，樵夫赞美说：“好啊，就像巍峨的泰山。”俞伯牙很高兴，又弹了一首《流水》，樵夫又说：“好啊！就像浩荡的江河。”俞伯牙佩服不已。
两个人互通姓名之后，知道樵夫叫钟子期。他们聊了许多弹琴之道，兴趣非常相投，就结拜为兄弟。分手的时候，约定第二年再来相会。不料二人分手后不久，钟子期就死了，家里只剩下年迈的父母。
第二年俞伯牙如约前来，得知钟子期的死讯后，痛不欲生。他在钟子期父亲的陪同下，来到钟子期的墓前。挥泪又弹奏了《高山》和《流水》两首乐曲，用来凭吊钟子期。弹完之后，俞伯牙割断琴弦，摔碎琴身。钟子期的父亲吃了一惊，问他原因。俞伯牙说：“知音难觅，钟子期已经不在人世，今后我再对谁弹琴呢？”
从此之后，人们把知心的朋友叫作“知音”，也用“高山流水”来形容难得的好朋友。

Gaoshanliushui is one of Chinese idiom. Its literal means is high mountain and running river. In fact, it was used to describe bosom friends or a beautiful music.
It is from a Chinese ancient story. In Chan Kuo period of ancient china, there is a person named Yu Boya who was a famous musician. One time, he went to visit Tai shan (which lied in Shandong province of China) by boat. Unfortunately, when he arrived there, it was storm. At that time, there was nothing to do, so Yu Boya began to play. His first music was about raining that was very lingering, his second music was about landslide that was very roaring. At that time, He suddenly heard an applause from someone. He immediately went out to look for the person. He found a woodman standing on the bank. He invited the person to went to his boat, and played for him. First, he played a music named . At the end, the person said:” so good, there is a high mountain just like Tai shan.” Yu Boya was very happy. Second, he played a music named . After he played it, the woodman said:” so great, there is a running river just like Changjiang river and Huanghe river.”
After introducing themselves, He known that the woodman’s name was Zhong Ziqi. They talked about music a long time, and felt very well. When they said goodbye, they made a date to meet each other the next year. But after that soon, Zhong Ziqi died for some reason.
The next year, when Yu Boya came there for the appointment, he beat his breast in agony after he learnt that. Zhong ziqi’s father brought Yu Boya to his tomb. In front of the tomb, he played the music and . After that, he broken his musical instrument. Zhong’s father asked him that why he did that. He said:” Without Zhong ziqi, who can understand my music?”
From that, people called good friends as “Zhiyin”, and used this idiom to describe bosom friends.
