Taikoo Legacy · Guqin
I once heard Wang Peng say: "To make a guqin, it takes more than five hundred years of old wood to make a positive sound, and such a positive tone can correct the heart, if it is a very young wood, its fire is too big, so you will sound very harsh, very harsh, and will not produce that kind of calm and thick sound." ”
This wood became the sound of the piano, and finally followed the voice of the people.
Emperor Huizong of Song Listen to the piano diagram
"Listening to Lu Zishun play the piano on the night of the moon" Li Bai
Sitting idly in the night and the bright moon, the ghost playing the piano.
Suddenly smelling the sad wind, like a cold pine groan.
The snow is chaotic, and the green water is clear and humble.
The bell has been gone for a long time, and the world is ignorant of the sound.
There are few voices in the world, and I feel sorry for each other and listen. Not like Youlan Qu, leisurely as a dream. The so-called piano, chess, calligraphy and painting have both four arts and are good for the literati. And the literati are good guqin, such as idiots who love talented women, and seek to be "strange, ancient, transparent, run, quiet, round, uniform, clear, and fang" with nine virtues. It is a picture of the Song Huizong listening to the piano, so the guqin is displayed, sitting under the pine, the listener is immersed in the mind, and the player is elegant.
"The piano player, the lover, the piano person, the forbidden one." Blowing the harp, chanting and painting, ascending to the heights and traveling far, and singing wine and song have become vivid portrayals of the life of the literati and doctors. During the Spring and Autumn Period, Confucius loved to play the piano, whether he was lecturing at the altar of apricots or being trapped in Chen Cai, the sound of string songs was endless; the story of Boya and Zi in the Spring and Autumn Period of ""High Mountain" and "Flowing Water" became a widely circulated good story; Ji Kang in the Wei and Jin Dynasties gave the guqin the highest evaluation of "Among all the instruments, the best of the qinde", and finally played "Guangling San" on the execution ground as the best song of life; Liu Yuxi, a scholar of the Tang Dynasty, sketched for us a picture of "being able to tune the piano and read the Golden Scripture" in his famous article "The Buried Chamber". The chaotic ears of the silkless bamboo, the labor form of the caseless" of the indifferent realm.
"Harmony" and "lightness" are the aesthetic tastes of the piano music flaunting and pursuing, and "the purpose outside the taste, the meaning outside the rhyme, and the sound outside the strings" are the essence of the far-reaching artistic conception of the piano music. Tao Yuanming's "but the piano is interesting, He Lao's string on the sound" and Bai Juyi", are tasteless and tasteless, and they are full of emotion. "Let yourself be returned, and no one should listen to it" is exactly what is said. On the contrary, people also often use "playing the piano to the cow" and "burning the piano to cook the crane" to lament the ignorance of some people on the piano.
Confucianism and Taoism are the two pillars of Chinese philosophy. Among the many forms of music in China, the guqin should be said to be the master of the two schools of Confucianism and Taoism embodied in music. Confucianism advocates the philosophy of joining the world, and the music advocated by Confucianism pays attention to neutrality and peace, and does not pursue the external effect of gorgeous and rich sound. "The violinist, forbidden also." It is forbidden to be evil and to correct the hearts of the people. Xue Yijian of the Tang Dynasty said in the "Tips for the Qin": "The piano is happy, it can be observed and taught, it can be taken in, it can distinguish between joy and anger, it can be pleasant, it can be quiet, it can be courageous, it can be unworldly, it can be ghostly, and the good person of this piano is also." ”
Since ancient times, chinese literati have emphasized that "reaching out to the world and helping the world, and the poor are alone." Whenever the literati are depressed and discouraged, they usually choose to enter the Tao by Confucianism, pulling the focus of attention from the chaotic outside world back to the rich heart, leisurely and secluded, sending love to the landscape and the water, and getting close to the vast nature. As one of the ways of self-cultivation, Fuqin has made the literati of all generations intoxicated and relieved. This is just as Ji Kang said in the "Qin Fu", "Things have prosperity and decline, and this (guqin) has not changed; the taste is strong, and this is not xi, it can cultivate the spirit, proclaim peace, and those who are poor and alone are not boring, and they are not close to the sound." If it is therefore restored and insufficient, then the chant is reckless, and the inadequacy of the chant is expressed with broad meaning."
The sound of the guqin, both pure and elegant, but also clear and far away, interesting and elegant, happy but not obscene, mournful but not hurt, resentment and not anger, gentle and thick, the form is peaceful, no fault is not less than enough, "the piano is also an instrument, virtue is in it", the ancient Chinese scholar of the Qin Dao pursues for a lifetime.

In the palace view,
Sitting on a rock,
Mountaineering does not,
Kukuni Valley,
Swim Water Mae,
In the boat,
Under the West Forest,
Value and clear air,
When the breeze is bright and the moon is shining.
Fourteen does not play

After the night,
Disfigured,
Armpits stink,
Agitate and shout,
Do not rinse your mouth with your hands.
The creators of the qin include "Xifu Xi zuoqin", "Shennong zuoqin", "Shun zuo five-stringed qin with song nanfeng", etc., as a posthumous legend, it is not necessary to believe it, but it can be seen that the qin has a long history in China.
The Book of Poetry has singers, "Lady of the Silks, Lady of the Qinser"; "Yo Yo Deer Singing, Eating Wild Ping." I have guests, Drum Ser Drum Sheng"; "Wife good union, such as Drum Ser Qin"; "Drum Chung Chin, Drum Ser Drum Qin"; "Qin Ser Drum, to Mita Zu"; "Chair Tong Zi Lacquer, Gong Fa Qin Sang"; "Qin Ser in the Imperial Palace, Mo Bu Jing Good"; Guqin, at least in the Spring and Autumn Period, is a very common and very popular instrument in the folk and very popular with the ancients.
The guqin has a beautiful shape, and the common ones are Fuxi style, Zhongni style, Lianzhu type, Sunset Type, Lingji type, banana leaf type, Shennong style and so on. It is mainly differentiated according to the different items of the body and the waist shape system. The paint has broken lines, which is a sign of the age of the guqin. Due to the vibration of long-term performance and the difference between wood and lacquer, a variety of broken lines can be formed, such as plum blossom breaks, cow hair breaks, snake belly breaks, ice cracks, turtle patterns and so on. The piano with broken lines has a thorough tone and a beautiful appearance, so it is more expensive. Ancient famous qin includes Lu Qi, Jiao Wei, Spring Thunder, Bing Qing, Great Saint Relic, Jiuxiao Huan Pei and so on.
There are more than 150 guqin scores in the world, and the important piano score books of the past are as follows:
