The ancient melody "High Mountain and Flowing Water" played on the guqin describes the longing for a kindred spirit. This is how President Xi Jinping explained it to Emmanuel Macron during the French president's visit to Guangzhou in April 2023. The opera "Butterfly Lovers" is often referred to as the "Chinese Romeo and Juliet", so Xi told his fellow leaders attending a performance of the opera at Hangzhou's West Lake during the 2016 G20 summit. While highlighting the richness of China's own cultural heritage, Xi Jinping also expresses his appreciation for the cultures of other countries and acknowledges the unifying power of "harmony without uniformity".
