Mo Shi Mo Wang is a classic in Chinese xianxia music. Deeply tied to the 2005 TV drama Chinese Paladin 1 , it has become an "emotional memory anchor" in the hearts of countless people. Its delicate and gentle melody is intricately intertwined with the joys and sorrows of the characters Li Xiaoyao, Zhao Linger, and Lin Yueru, making it an auditory symbol of a generation.
This piece was composed by Mai Zhenhong, known as the "Father of Xianxia Music". Its name is derived from a core line in the drama — "Mo Shi Mo Wang" is both a promise between the characters and a subtle reflection of the fated sense of "love that cannot be sustained" in the plot. In creating it, Mai Zhenhong centered on "telling a story through melody," blending the ethereal tones of the guzheng, the lingering notes of the erhu, and wind chime-like vocal humming. The opening guzheng sounds fall like moonlight; the gradual rise of the erhu in the middle carries an inescapable melancholy; and the vocal humming segments, like a whisper from the heart, infuse every note with care, regret, and reluctance, precisely striking the universal emotion of "longing without fulfillment".
As the soulful centerpiece of Chinese Paladin 1’s soundtrack, it runs through the drama’s most touching moments: from Linger’s innocence when first meeting Xiaoyao, to Yueru’s resolute self-sacrifice, and finally to the sorrow of their ultimate parting. Though the melody has no intense fluctuations, it possesses a "subtle, nurturing power" — even years later, when audiences hear it, they still recall Linger in her snow-white robes, Yueru in her fiery red attire, and those youthful memories of "cherishment" and "regret."
The sheet music of this piece is in the key of A♭, and it can be played on an E♭-key dizi with the fundamental tone as 2.
