The qin, chess, calligraphy and painting are the examples of the elegant art of the literati, and the qin ranks first. It is because the qin is not only an art of self-cultivation, but also carries the cultural tradition of Confucianism and the spirit of Taoism. Since the Han Dynasty, it has been called "Qin Dao".
Facing the guqin is like facing the heaven, earth and the universe, plucking the strings of the qin and silk invented by the sages, making a vast and honest sound of nature, it will immediately bring you into an ancient and secluded place. Go to the realm and experience the harmony and freedom of the unity of heaven, earth, man and qin.
The first sign of the innovation of the piano system was the appearance of the unicorn at the tail, and when the zither disappeared, it meant that the technical problem that the hollow bottom plate of the zither could not be installed with strings was solved. Like the tradition of the Tang and Song qin making, the string is divided into two parts, which become two wild goose feet installed on both sides of the bottom of the qin. Because of this, the body of the piano began to become thinner, and the sides and tail also became tactful. This is another revolution in Qin making in less than two hundred years in the Eastern Han Dynasty.
During the Wei and Jin Dynasties, changes in the origin and status of qin players would directly affect the changes in the aesthetics of the guqin, making the music aesthetics at that time more elegant. The aesthetics of guqin in this period tended to be clean, fresh, light and elegant. Just as Ji Kang yearned for freedom, he was able to integrate an elegant realm into his works, which was very unrestrained, unrestrained and unrestrained.
During this period, we became more aware of the inner realm of Guqin music, integrated with all the existences with infinite diversity, the elusive, speculative and predictable artistic realm, and we can also feel that people have achieved a profound understanding of Zhuangxue and metaphysics. Liberation in the philosophical sense.
