Liu Yijun, often called Lao Wu of "Tang Dynasty", is a legendary figure in Chinese rock music. Ever
since he made the album, "Dreaming of Returning to Tang Dynasty", a classic in Chinese rock musical
history, he has been influencing musicians of the younger generation with his unique musical spirit.
In his over twenty years musical career, Lao Wu has been constantly striving to break through artificial
barriers of all kinds, looking for natural, spontaneous truthfulness in spirit. After leaving
the band of "Tang Dynasty" that he contributed to establish in his youth, he became even more inclined
to a natural, truthful state. He has been widening the horizon of artistic expressions by working
together with individual musicians.
Now Lao Wu is creating a new realm with his acoustic guitar. His
music conveys a Chinese poetic spirit and, together with his creative works in visual art started from
the 1990s, it unfolds a panoramic landscape of his spiritual world that has crossed the boundary of
rock music. He often says, "Real music is above language and logic. It is a natural breathing
flowing out of life." It has been his aspiration to cross all dogmatic boundaries.
