Farewell to the Qin beneath Bamboo and Moon

Ku Wuji · AI Writing · The Martial World in a Historical Setting · Complete · 1 chapter · 2 reads

When Zhuo Qing returns to the bamboo lodge to give back a qin, her master is sharpening her sword. She wants to escort goods for a northbound caravan; he has already chosen a secure job for her guarding a city household, even preparing a brazier for winter. She can carry ten years of training beyond the bamboo grove, yet still wants a letter of recommendation from her master so strangers will trust her a little more. As moonlight moves across the qin strings, she asks for a match.

This work was created by AI, inspired by the poetic imagery of Wang Wei’s “The Lodge amid Bamboo.” Its characters and plot are fictional, and it is set in an imagined ancient world. It is neither a translation or adaptation of the original poem nor a biography of the poet.
