云舒 Yun Shu

A guzheng player turned singer who sets Tang-style imagery to modern melodies. Her voice is as clear as mountain water, and every song begins with a single line of old poetry.

Played on 墨韵 Ink & Strings with 寒青 Han Qing

Their story

Yun Shu trained as a guzheng player at a Hangzhou conservatory and began posting short recordings of Tang poems set to her own melodies in 2013. Her debut album 《西湖烟雨》 (2015) made her a quiet name in the guofeng scene, followed by 《半卷春山》 (2018) and the string-heavy 《月下听泉》 (2021), which brought in soft electronic pads. Over a decade she has become one of the station's most familiar voices, still writing each song from a single line of classical verse.

Influences: Tang and Song dynasty poetry, conservatory guzheng repertoire, lush Chinese-language film ballads, ambient piano music
