A passage played in harmonics (\u6cdb\u97f3, f\u00e0ny\u012bn) returns three times and gives the work its title.<sup>[1][2]<\/sup> <\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Early source:<\/strong> The <em>Shenqi Mipu<\/em> preserves a qin score from 1425.<sup>[1]<\/sup> <\/li>\n<li><strong>Tradition:<\/strong> The flute story associates the tune with Huan Yi (\u6853\u4f0a, Hu\u00e1n Y\u012b) of the Eastern Jin.<sup>[3]<\/sup> <\/li>\n<li><strong>Listening:<\/strong> Hong Kong\u2019s Music Office marks three entries in John Yiu Shek-on\u2019s video.<sup>[2]<\/sup> <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p class=\"p1\">Hear the open strings first and compare them with the lighter ringing sound of the recurring theme.<\/p><\/section>\n<figure class=\"tcjdi-infographic\" style=\"width:500px;max-width:100%;margin:24px auto;text-align:center\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.chinaculturepro.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/11\/Three-Variations-on-Plum-Blossom-guide-to-harmonic-entries.webp\" alt=\"Three Variations on Plum Blossom guide to harmonic entries\" title=\"Three Variations on Plum Blossom guide to harmonic entries\" width=\"1440\" height=\"2560\" style=\"width:500px;max-width:100%;height:auto;margin:0 auto\" \/><figcaption>Three Variations on Plum Blossom guide to harmonic entries<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p class=\"p1\">Listen for a bell-like ring when the harmonics enter. In this piece, that change in tone helps you recognize a recurring passage even as its register changes.<\/p>\n<h2>The Early Score and the Flute Tradition<\/h2>\n<p class=\"p1\">Hong Kong\u2019s Education Bureau identifies the 1425 <em>Shenqi Mipu<\/em> as the earliest surviving notation and traces the piece through later qin handbooks. The traditional account links the work to an earlier flute piece associated with Huan Yi. The printed qin source gives a firmer date for the music as it appears in tablature.<sup>[1][3]<\/sup> <\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">The same early collection preserves <a href=\"https:\/\/www.chinaculturepro.com\/drunken-ecstasy-guqin\/\">Drunken Ecstasy<\/a>. Compare how the two works use the plucked sound of the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.chinaculturepro.com\/guqin\/\">guqin<\/a> to suggest different moods.<\/p>\n<h2>Where to Hear the Three Statements<\/h2>\n<p class=\"p1\">The Hong Kong Music Office video credits Tsar Teh-yun\u2019s transmission and John Yiu Shek-on on silk-string guqin. Its opening uses open strings, and the returns occur in sections two, four and six. Use these times for that specific video.<sup>[2]<\/sup> <\/p>\n<div style=\"overflow-x:auto;max-width:100%;max-height:800px\">\n<table>\n<thead>\n<tr><th>Statement<\/th><th>Time in the Hong Kong Music Office video<\/th><\/tr>\n<\/thead>\n<tbody>\n<tr><td>First<\/td><td>1:16<\/td><\/tr>\n<tr><td>Second<\/td><td>2:10<\/td><\/tr>\n<tr><td>Third<\/td><td>3:51<\/td><\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/div>\n<p class=\"p1\">Compare the pitch range and color of the three statements with the opening, then follow the next change in tone. The whole piece contains more music than the three recurring passages.<\/p>\n<h2>Compare Solo Qin and a Flute Pairing<\/h2>\n<p class=\"p1\">Tsinghua University lists Yang Lining\u2019s qin rendition as track 6 at 6:01.

In that recording, hear how the sustained flute tone overlaps with the plucked qin, as it can in performances of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.chinaculturepro.com\/moon-over-the-mountain-pass\/\">Moon over the Mountain Pass<\/a>.<sup>[5]<\/sup> <\/p>\n<h2>The Plum Blossom in Sound and Art<\/h2>\n<p class=\"p1\">The plum flower blooms in cold weather and is associated with endurance.
