Context: The work is themed with the lotus flower known as “gentleman in flower”.

The work is composed of three parts. The three timbre of “overtone, press tone and scattered tone” in the Gu Qin music respectively correspond to the brushwork of “point, trace, and render” in the ink painting. Aiming to show the artistic charm of Chinese traditional music and convey the outstanding and noble spirit of Chinese culture.

作品以素有“花中君子”的莲花为主题形象，以交互音乐形式，将古琴音乐、电子音乐和中国传统绘画三种艺术语汇相结合，使用KYMA连接Wacom数位板现场绘制一幅莲花图，实时控制电子音乐的变化。作品由三个部分构成，分别以古琴音乐中“泛音、按音、散音”三种音色对应水墨画中的“点、描、渲染”笔法，意在展现中国传统音乐的艺术魅力，传递卓然高洁的中国文化精神。
