China is a     1    (develop) country, but it has a long history. There are many beautiful stories about friendship, the     2     (good) of which to be described in Chinese literature is probably the friendship     3    Yu Boya and Zhong Ziqi. Yu was a famous master of music     4    played the qin well.

Once, he took a boat trip to the state of Chu.     5    (inspire) by the beautiful view along the way, Yu took out his qin and began to play. After a while, he noticed a woodsman enjoying his music     6    (quiet). The man was Zhong Ziqi. When Yu played music that described high mountains, Zhong said: “How     7    (wonder) it is! I seem to see Mount Tai.” And when he played music that described flowing water, Zhong said: “How nice it is! I seem to see the rushing river.” Yu was surprised by the woodsman’s words because the man could really understand his music. When Zhong died the following year, Yu was     8    upset that he took out his qin to play the music of the “high mountains and flowing water” one last time for Zhong. When he was done, he     9     (break) his qin on purpose so he could never play it again.

Now, the phrase “high mountains and flowing water”    10     (use) to stand for very good music or “zhi yin”—a bosom friend who treasures and knows you quite well.
