Creation Description: “Listening to the Water’s Murmur” is a sound installation that uses local materials and resonates with nature. The work originated from a natural small waterfall in a mountain village – its abundant water sound is the most primitive chant of the earth. We select the locally abundant bamboo, taking advantage of its natural bamboo nodes and hollow structure. We carefully drill holes on one side of it and introduce the mountain spring water into it.
The water no longer rushes down directly but, after being sorted and blocked by the holes in the bamboo tube, is broken down into countless fine streams. When it falls again, it forms a crystal-clear bamboo water curtain. The water strikes the bamboo joints, making a sound like a chirping pendant. The fine streams converge, forming their own rhythm. The original roar was transformed into a richly layered pattering and tinkling sound, as if nature were playing its own melody through this man-made object.
The work, with the most simple “adapting to the trend”, embodies the wisdom of “going with the flow” in Chinese philosophy. It transforms practical materials into perceptual media, inviting listeners to pause and listen to the deepest breaths and chanting of mountains and waters in the interweaving of artificial and natural sounds.

创作说明：《听水吟》是一件就地取材、与自然合鸣的声音装置。作品源于和山村中一道天然小瀑布——其充沛的水声是大地最原始的吟唱。我们选用当地盛产的毛竹，顺应其天然竹节与中空结构，在其一侧精心钻孔，将山泉之水引入其中。
水流不再是直泻而下，而是在竹管内经过孔洞的梳理与阻隔，被分解成无数细流，重新落下时形成一道晶莹剔透的竹制水帘。水击竹节，声如鸣佩；细流汇响，自成韵律。原有的轰鸣被转化为层次丰富的淅沥与叮咚，仿佛自然在通过这件人造物演奏自己的乐章。
作品以最质朴的“因势利导”，体现了中国哲学中“顺势而为”的智慧。它将实用的材料转化为感知的媒介，邀请听者驻足，在人工与天籁的交织中，聆听山水最深处的呼吸与吟唱。
