"Mooring by Maple Bridge At Night" is a Chinese Zither with piano accompaniment written by famous Chinese composer Wang Jianmin according to the famous poem "Mooring by Maple Bridge At Night" written by Tang Dynasty poet Zhang Ji. The characteristic tunes of Kunqu Opera, Silk bamboo, Jiangsu folk songs and other music are integrated into the music, which makes people who hear it feel as if they are in an ink painting with Jiangnan customs. The music mainly highlights the ancient literati's worries about home and country, their thoughts of staying away from home, and their worries about living in troubled times without a home. When creating this modern Chinese Zither music, Mr. Wang Jianmin used different playing techniques to perfectly combine the traditional Chinese Zither musical instrument with the original poem, and the original poet's mood was vividly displayed. In this paper, through the analysis of the creation background and performance of "Mooring by Maple Bridge At Night", the beauty of artistic conception combining Zheng with poetry is explored.
