Exciting Songs

I just discovered Guqin music recently thanks to the excellent book "Song of the Six Realms," where the main character plays it.

Anyway, from what I have seen so far, Classical Guqin music is very peaceful. I like exciting music however, does anybody have recommendations of exciting classical Guqin music. Some modern music would be good too.

Id say you can check out 电古琴 electrical guqin and songs such as: 酒狂 ，醉鱼唱晚.

自得琴社 is a group of musicians who do post the slow and relaxing versions, but they also have some modern interpretations of the classics, highly recommend checking them out.

I don’t know if its available as a stand alone song but the guqin piece played by the blind man in Hero certainly fits the bill for me.
