What is Qinjing? Bai Juyi's poem "Qin Xing Xing in Qing Night" says: "The moon rises and the birds perch, and sit in the empty forest. When the mood is free, you can play the plain qin. Qingling is made of wood, and tranquility follows people's hearts.
The heart accumulates peace, and the wood should be the beginning of the sound. The sound of the rest of the group is moving, and the song stops in the deep autumn night. The sense of righteousness is metamorphosed, and the heaven and earth are clear. "It can be said to be the best description of the qin state. The so-called qin state is the image and artistic conception formed by the art of guqin.
The artistic conception of the guqin is precisely at the point of purifying and deepening the mind and the universe, which is in line with the highest ideal of Chinese art, the "artistic conception".
No matter in history or today, Guqin should be said to be an art of high and low music. It has high requirements not only for the performer, but also for the appreciator, including the timing and environment of the performance.
In a sense, Guqin is a profound art with a certain philosophical rationale, and only in this way can it lead people into the level of aesthetic mood. In terms of content, the formation of Guqin is not only related to its profound cultural connotation, but also to its own artistic creation and aesthetic characteristics.
The formation of qin songs and qin songs is just like the "three realms" (physical, situation, and artistic conception) summarized by Wang Changling of the Tang Dynasty, and most of them are as stated in Liu Ji's "Qin Yi Pian":
"When you encounter things, you can make sounds, imagine them as a song, the river flows out of the shadows, the moon falls on the strings, the pine wind swirls, and the breeze runs through your fingers. This is a deep situation. If you are a wise man and a martyr, when you are frustrated and hurt, you will hate it. Shen You, written in the rhythm of the voice, is intense at the beginning to smooth the spirits and spirits, and at the end of the practice of virtue, it is in harmony with the melody, so that after a thousand years, you can see and know with one voice.
