Guzheng songs, such as Dragon Crossing the River and Ten Cups of Wine, are all minor tunes, mostly improvised by ancient artists, which have been handed down because of their beautiful melody, and later named by future generations at will. There may be a story, but it has not been handed down and there is no way to verify it. These songs are all passed down by word of mouth, without words. It is inevitable that there will be changes from generation to generation. For example, there is only one word difference between The West Chamber and The West Chamber, but there is no textual research to prove the relationship between them.
