Learning the guqin is not just a simple tick, a finger and a strum. The cultural heritage behind it, as well as the taboos and methods of playing the guqin, are also extremely important for the learner. The quiet appearance of learning the guqin, and the melodious ambition of learning the guqin. To play and not to play between the fingers, use the five fingers to express the spirit, and use the heart to express the sound.

There are five pianos that cannot be played

Don't sit, don't play; don't dress, don't play; don't play to the common people;

1. Don't sit or play: Playing the piano is an expression of one's mind, naturally requires stability, requires calmness, and must not be impetuous.
2. No clothes and no play: Playing the piano is a spiritual art. Since it is the embodiment of the soul, it must be solemn and natural, pure and free.
3. Do not play to the common people: people who are vulgar in the market, do not understand elegant tastes, do not know the customs, have difficulty in the subtlety of the piano, and are not confidantes.
4. Marketplace does not play: the world is noisy, noisy, vulgar and heavy, which is contrary to the taste of qin culture.
5. The wind and rain do not play: the sound of the wind is dry and the sound of the rain is dull, so the piano cannot be played. Moreover, in the midst of storms, people are often unable to calm down and express their heart-wrenching feelings.

The piano has ten faults

(Ten flaws in fingering):

Too bland and clumsy; too much and miscellaneous;

It's as light as a touch; it's as heavy as a scratch;

Its restraint is like cowardice; its ease is like a slump;

With force and difficulty;

Its slow as faint; its rush as rushing.

What is "light"? "Xi Shan Qin Kuang" said: "Xian Suo travels in the world, and its sound is beautiful and pleasing. The single qin is used as a tool, and the incense is burnt and quiet, and it does not enter the singing and dancing scene; Inside the silk and bamboo companions. The clear spring and white stone, the bright moon and the wind, and the self-satisfaction, make those who listen to it wandering and thinking, and the heart of entertainment does not know where to go. This is called light."

Light and flamboyant are paired, and one does not choose to be glamorous and charming, "remove evil and preserve justice, discard vulgarity and return to elegance, abandon beauty and return to purity", which is why there is the style of a high-ranking scholar.

Guqin has "five failures" and "ten faults" in fingering

Those who play the violin cannot fail to appreciate this lightness. Indifferent to the past, there is no need to be flattering to the crowd. The so-called subtlety of lightness lies in being upright and elegant, and appreciating purity and harmony.

Not paying attention to lightness and lightness is the beauty of lightness. If you don't get this wonderful, you just want to be light and light for the sake of light, then you will fall into the rough and clumsy, and you will become a fool's qin, but lose its charm and integrity. Nothing should be owed or overdue. It is just right, and so is the meaning of lightness. Therefore, there is a saying "too bland and clumsy" in Qin Jue.
