According to the Miraculous Secret Notation of the Guqin(Shenqi Mipu)written by Zhu Quan in 1425, the two songs-the High Mountains(Gao Shan) and the Running Water(Liu Shui) were originally a single song. In the Tang Dynasty (618-907), it was divided into two songs. In th Song Dynasty (960-1279), the High Mountains was divided into four sections and the running Water was divided in to eight sections. At present, the most popular version is the one published in the Tianwen House Notation (Tianwenge Qinqu)of 1876 and was arranged by Zhang Kongshan of the Sichuan School in the Qing Dynasty(1644-1911).
