Zhou Di Lou Introduction
In SHUI LONG YIN, Tang Lici's sect is called "Zhou Di Lou." Here, "Di" means "squint". In ancient Chinese, Zhou Di" refers to "looking around," symbolizing a broad vision and a sense of vast artistic conception. Lou means Tower.
According to legend, the founder of "Zhou Di Lou" was Shi Kuang, a real historical figure from China. He was a famous musician and thinker who lived before the Qin Dynasty. Born blind, Shi Kuang was very skilled and knowledgeable, especially in playing the guqin.It is said that his music could summon a divine phoenix. Because of his great talent, he was called the "music saint" in history. He is also credited Gu Qin with composing the famous guqin pieces "Yangchun" and "White Snow".
In SHUI LONG YIN, following Shi Kuang's teachings, the leaders and disciples of Zhou Di Lou became adept at playing musical instruments and developed a unique style of blending music with martial arts. This mastery of both music and wushu has made them distinctive in the world. Committed to upholding peace and justice, they strive to protect harmony wherever possible. However, as time passed, the number of disciples dwindled, and the sect's reputation gradually faded.
