丝竹居士, whose pseudonym directly translates to 'Silk and Bamboo Hermit', has carved a distinctive niche within the realm of traditional Chinese music, particularly focusing on the guzheng (古筝) and dizi (笛子). These instruments symbolize the silk-stringed and bamboo categories of Chinese musical instruments, with the guzheng being a type of zither with a more than two thousand-year history, and the dizi being a traditional Chinese flute.

While not much personal biographical information is readily available about 丝竹居士, it is clear from their body of work that they have an affinity for the delicate balance of heritage and melodic beauty that classical Chinese instruments embody. Their series of albums — "中国经典唯美古筝曲" ("China's Classic Beautiful Guzheng Music") and "中国经典唯美笛子曲" ("China's Classic Beautiful Dizi Music")— showcase a deep reverence for the cultural and historical significance of these instruments, creating renditions of classic pieces that bridge the gap between ancient tunes and contemporary appreciation. Each numerical entry in the series is a testament to their continued efforts to both preserve and share the richness of Chinese musical tradition with a broader audience.
