15 Aesthetics of Learning Guzheng

  1. The greatest secret to appreciating music is to listen to it with your heart.
  2. Music must have the uprightness of mountains, the flow of water, the vigor of pine, the firmness of bamboo, the beauty of plum, and the flexibility of grass... Mountains and rivers are all included in it, which is the ultimate in music.
  3. Straight sound is not elegant, sound is floating without honesty, thick sound is not handsome, beautiful sound is not upright, and sound is strong and not flexible. Only those who mobilize the above-mentioned beautiful sounds for my use can be a mature performer.
  4. Playing music is like chatting with people in beautiful language. Sincere personality is the premise of playing music, and hard work is the shortcut to playing music. Notes, rests, rhythms, dynamic signs... all beat under the finger of the performer, endowed with vitality and personality charm.
  5. Playing music must first be intentional, the intention should be in the song first, and the intention should be vivid, rhythmic, and interesting. Soft tones are soft, strong tones are firm, light and heavy are leisurely, and hardness and softness complement each other. The soft sound is far away, the strong sound is close, the distant one is hazy, and the near one is bright. The limbs are relaxed, the Qi penetrates the top of the feet, the outside is loose and the inside is tight, and the atmosphere is awe-inspiring. There are rap songs, music can be retractable, rap and singing, retractable and easy.
  6. The density creates the rhythm, the contrast between the shades and the density is indispensable.
  7. The cadence is rhythmic, and the low and sharp pauses; the intensity changes; Xu Ji is slow and fast. The cadence, the severity and the severity of the disease, the eight characters summarize the sum of the tune, rhythm, intensity and speed, which are known as the way to play music.
  8. Music is an invisible building, a shadowless book, a wordless poem, a scripture without words.
  9. The music is like a picture, the melody is like a line, the rhythm is like a color, the strength is like the shade, the hardness and softness are like dryness, the rhythm is like a picture, like a shadow.
  10. The sound stops but the meaning does not stop. The silent is better than the sound. The sound comes out but does not come out, and the sound is naturally affectionate.
  11. The speed of the warp is strong, and the slowness of the curve is the essence of the mind. With the power, the passion is aroused, and the fineness is expressed. The so-called momentum is like a rainbow, and there are wonderful sounds. The greater the contrast, the more intense the moving.
  12. Music is the ocean, and the rhythmic sound waves build up layers of sound waves to surround you, just like the lone boat of the heart overflowing and reciprocating in the sound waves;
  13. If you are not skilled, you will be timid, if you are not skilled, you will be dull, and if you are not skilled, you will lose your luster.
  14. A good song must be closely linked, sound beaded, wide enough to run a horse, but not dense enough to be needled.
  15. There are three things in playing music: firstly, the audience should feel the atmosphere of the music, secondly, the audience should enter the artistic conception of the music, and thirdly, the audience should understand the mystery of the music.
