Although there were versions played on the guqin, it was more commonly associated with the pipa.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The difficulty of this piece was extremely high, filled with a majestic aura, echoing with sounds of clashing metal and the tense line between life and death.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To express such a vast and epic scene with the guqin was very difficult.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Back in ancient times, when musicians reached the pinnacle of their art, some were indeed capable of performing it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rumor had it that the true “Ambush from Ten Sides” came with its own murderous energy!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It could even control the air itself, slicing through it sharply, killing invisibly!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Historical records claim that Empress Bao of the Great Xia Kingdom once took to the battlefield, using “Ambush from Ten Sides” to kill the enemy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With the guqin as her weapon, in a flick of her fingers, an army of a hundred thousand vanished into dust!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The battlefield covered in the haze of war and blood – a mere mention instilled fear in the hearts of many.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course, history was probably exaggerated. It wasn’t possible that a guqin could kill ten thousand men. But the tale of Empress Bao using the guqin as a weapon had been passed down through the ages.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As a result, Empress Bao became one of the representative figures of the guqin.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The guqin artistry of ancient times was indeed masterful and reached the peak of perfection.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But as time progressed, many traditional instrumental techniques were lost.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Ambush from Ten Sides” often required the grandeur of a symphonic orchestra to truly bring out the intense battle scene.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Moreover, that was only to make the scene spectacular.
