Guqin, the earliest plucked musical instrument in China, has a history of at least 3,000 years and is a treasure of traditional Chinese culture.

Recently, the Shenzhen Concert Hall staged a "National Music Qinghe" Guqin Appreciation Concert, which blended Chinese and Western music, which was amazing.

Songs of the Yue People," Tiger Roaring and Long Yin", "Qing Ping Tune" and other guqin cross-border music works.

Luo Zihan is the soul of the show. She learned the qin from a young age and was taught by Mr. Yao Gongbai, a guqin master of the "Zhejiang Yaomen", and became the third generation inheritor of the "Zhejiang Yaomen" guqin art. In 2010, Luo Zihan settled in Shenzhen and has been committed to promoting and developing the art of guqin. In 2012, he founded Gufeng Xishan Qinyuan, and then initiated the establishment of Shenzhen Guqin and Kunqu Opera Research Association.

Over the years, Luo Zihan has not forgotten to use the qin to teach and educate people, and has trained more than 300 students in Shenzhen. At the same time, he has actively carried out various public welfare performances and lectures.

With Luo Zihan's unremitting efforts, the "Zhejiang Yaomen" Guqin art has been passed down to the fifth generation in Shenzhen. According to him, the guqin craze in Shenzhen started around 2008, and since then, there are more than 10,000 guqin enthusiasts in Shenzhen. Guqin is not only musical, but also literary, so it has certain requirements for the knowledge and cultivation of qin people. At the same time, in order to better spread and promote the art of guqin, it is necessary for the inheritor to have a profound cultural background, excellent playing skills and comprehensive knowledge. creative ability.

Through the form of concerts and the integration of cross-border elements, young people can better understand and love the art of guqin, and let the classic culture be passed on from generation to generation.
