Partridges Flying is one of the representative work of Jiangnan dizi. Originally a Hunan folk piece, the music score was first seen in the Chinese Yayue Collection compiled by Yan Gufan in 1926. Dizi virtuoso Zhao Songting rearranged the music based on a poem by Li Bai from the Tang dynasty. In the music performance, the artistic contrast of mellow and delicate, fast and slow, strong and weak, depicts flying partridges far and near, high and low. Allegro is played continuously with the circular breathing technique, from dazzling to unpretentious, achieving the profundity in music.
