When a guitar speaks to Chinese poetry

Low clouds and mist shroud the Simingshan mountain area in Ningbo in East China's Zhejiang province. The long-haired guitarist, Chen Zezhao, wearing a light blue gown and loose pants, sits near a river and strums away.

This scene is pictured on the CD cover of Chen's latest album, Landscape of Chinese Ink IV, which was released in Ningbo on Saturday.

The guitarist started the music series Landscape of Chinese Ink in 2007 with the aim of interpreting traditional Chinese poetry using the guitar.
