采真游 Cai Zhen You: This title is taken from the book Zhuangzi 莊子. Zhuangzi (369-298 BCE ) is the Daoist philosopher. Cai Zhen You is a Daoist qin piece. If literally translating the title, it will be "the meandering of the truth harvester" or “seeking or picking the truth.” The composer is unknown. This piece was written before the Ming dynasty. According to the footnotes of Cai Zhen You from Xilutang Qintong (a qin notation book edited in 1549), this piece was not handed down for many generations. The person who found this piece and wrote these footnotes thought that this piece presents the image of an Immortal being who disdains the world.
My own interpretation of Cai Zhen You is more towards the major concepts of Daoism, such as: wuwei (effortless doing). Simple and pure as a child, as an uncarved piece of wood. Live naturally and free from desires. In today's chaotic world, I found this piece really lifts my spirits.
