Guqin is a lively piece of music, and every string can play a wonderful piece of music, so we love Guqin and learn it with our hearts. What are the benefits of learning guqin for young people?
Confucius also once claimed to be a person who "loved the ancients". Later, he was taught by a professional teacher, and he practiced the art of Caoman. Today's adults who learn this piano are mostly those who love the ancients. Only with this heart can learn the piano with half the effort. Adult piano learning is often not very utilitarian. It is not for the sake of professional qualifications, nor for the high school and college entrance examinations. It is just a love of love, and learning for the sake of cultivating morality and pleasing one's heart. "Those who know are not as good as those who love to know, and those who are happy are not as good as those who are good." The ancients have long told us that interest is the best teacher. With this teacher, it is more important than any famous teacher.
Guqin is easy to learn but difficult to master! "Easy to learn" means that the threshold is not high, and the techniques are not too difficult. "Difficult to master" means that you need to play the guqin well, and the requirements for things outside the qin are very high. Unless you have a certain artistic literacy and traditional culture, it is difficult to play well.
Guqin is not only a musical instrument, it is also a carrier of traditional Chinese culture. Among the many musical instruments, only Guqin is the only one whose shape and timbre have basically remained the same as it was thousands of years ago. The "Gongshangjiao Zhengyu" of the qin rhythm coincides with the "wood, fire, earth, gold and water" of the five elements. One of the qin materials is soft and one hard, which corresponds to the yin and yang of heaven and earth, and the number of qin emblems matches the year and month. When such a wonderful theory is told to the children, most of them turn a deaf ear, and it is often the parents who accompany the prince to study, nodding and praising. If we can't feel the cultural atmosphere revealed by the guqin, then we can't appreciate the potential beauty of the guqin. This is something that adults tend to do better than children.
Everyone understands the truth of grinding a pestle into a needle. As long as you stick to it, it is not difficult to have a successful day. Focusing on learning the piano is also the only way to learn the piano. Adults know how hard it is to learn the piano, so they cherish this hard-won opportunity to avoid the disadvantage of "fishing in three days and drying the net in two days"!
