《陽關三疊》，中國古曲，又名《陽關曲》、《渭城曲》。該曲取材自王維的七言絕句《送元二使安西》：「渭城朝雨浥輕塵，客舍青青柳色新。勸君更盡一杯酒，西出陽關無故人」。於唐代被編成琴歌，歌曲分三大段，疊唱原詩外，加入由原詩詩意所發展的若干詞句，為當時的梨園樂工廣為傳唱。詩中「西出陽關無故人」一反復吟唱三遍，故名《陽關三疊》。

演奏者舒舒，來自台北，於2020年在台北琴道館初學古琴，學琴時數至今17小時，目前旅居法國。

Yangguan is one of the most famous Chinese melodies, often played on other instruments. As a qin melody it occurs in 29 handbooks from 1491 to 1961. As for the two basic versions of this piece, in early handbooks the short one is usually called Yangguan Sandie. The longer one, however, though also originally called Yangguan Sandie, is more often called Yangguan Qu or simply Yangguan; later it was also known as Yangguan Cao, Da Yangguan, Qiujiang Songbie (Autumn River Parting) or Chunjiang Songbie (Spring River Parting).Both versions include Wang Wei's lyrics above, and both use variations on the same melody. The earliest surviving one, the Yangguan Sandie in Zheyin Shizi Qinpu, as is typical of the long version, has eight (nine including the coda) sections.

The Guqin player Chouchou, from Taipei, started her first Guqin class in July 2020. She has taken 17 hours of Guqin lesson as this recording was made. She lives currently in France.
