Zhong Ziqi, name emblem, word sub-period. In the Spring and Autumn Period, he was a native of Chu (now Hanyang, Hubei). According to legend, Zhong Ziqi was a woodcutter, wearing a hemp fiber hat and carrying a heavy load and an axe on his back. It is recorded in history that Yu Boya played the piano by the Han River. Zhong Ziqi sighed: "It is like a mountain and swings like running water." The two became close friends. After Zhong Ziqi's death, Yu Boya thought that there was no bosom friend in the world, and he would never play the piano again in his life.

Yu Boya was born in the State of Chu (now Jingzhou, Hubei) during the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period. Although he is from Chu State, he is a doctor in Jin State and is proficient in piano art.. Yu Boya's meeting with his bosom friend is a story that happened on his way home from visiting relatives. This story was first handed down orally by the people, and there is no exact record in history. In ancient books, Lieyukou, a native of A Zheng during the Warring States Period, wrote Liezi, a folk story about Yu Boya's father.
