Guqin, also known as Yuqin, and the stringing piano is one of the oldest plungers in my country. There are more than 4,000 years of writing, and the literati is considered an elegant representative. The Qin rhyme is long, the Yu Yin is long. A farmhouse in Shanan Village, Sha Town, Dongchang District, Dongchang District, is a melodious, and the ancient piano floated from the hospital.
Fuqin is a 55-year-old Qiqin Jie Shangxia, and he is more than 20 years. He has improved the appearance of Guqin, inheriting the traditional piano skills, and summed up a complete set of complete and mature gongqin production processes. . In January 2020, this ancient Qun's skill was rated as a municipal intangible cultural heritage.
"Decorating the piano itself is practicing. Guqin is not a musical instrument to be performed since ancient times, but a traditional literati to improve his self-cultivation, cultivating the sentiment of the sentiment. The rural garden has turned off the furniture factory that operates a red fire.
Not listening to the piano, playing the piano, Xu Shangxia also as a piano, and established "Tahe Qinfang" in 1995. "More than 20 years ago, when he heard the piano of Guqin, he was deeply impressed, so he had an idea to engage in Guqin production." From Fuzhou, Zhejiang, Beijing, Xi'an ... 20 years, Xu Shangren visited A number of well-known paint and Qiqin master, mastering the ancient law craftsmanship of the ancient Qun.
Guqin production is a lonely work. It is said that it is a chairman who has become a rumor, just like cultivating excellent Chinese medicine practitioners, there is no more than ten years of skill. Nowadays, there are very few young people to live this loneliness. "Guqin seems simple, it is very complicated.斫 A guun, from the selection of materials to the molding requires nearly three years. Let the son Xu Liang is also a person who loves Guqin. From the initial to turn off the furniture factory, the father and son are now looking for materials, Yusheng, Fuqin, 33 years old Xu Liang followed the father's piano Ten years.
"Good work is not as good as good material. Choices, in use, for five hundred years, out of the positive sound. The wood used in Yunqin comes from Yun Guichuan and other places." Xu Shangren said that at least a hundred years old, no insects, No knot, texture is straight, tapped like a bell. Panels with fir or tung, because they are soft and relaxed, facilitating the strings vibration; the bottom plate uses the wood, because it is hard, but can participate in the sound vibration, promote the sound portrait, let the piano melodious while still Can produce a sinking feel.
In terms of paint, according to the traditional piano law, Guqin ash tire should use natural paint, so that the sound will naturally go out. Painted, scraping, natural air dry, and Shu Xia, who has learned a lot of painted with the father, master this ancestral skill. "Ancient Qin, which is made with natural stone, more than 40 times over and over again. Every time I have a paint, I will put the piano into a shade room for more than half a month, or even a month can I last on the second paint, then Repeat the paint to dry. "Xu Shangxia introduced that many great gongqin will use chemical paint, but the sound and natural paint process is too much.
Handmade, all the lines of Guqin, the arc is used with a shovel, and the file is somewhat polished. "It can't be mass production, quality must be guaranteed." Xu Liang said, because the process is complicated, it is time consuming too long, so their father and son have a year in one year, 25 piano, many subscribers are coming, order.
Today, in addition to the piano, Xu Liang will also teach children who like to play the piano to play ancient Qin, hoping to build their own rural homes into an Guqin teaching base. "Don't have craftsmanship, but also to keep the skills, and then inherit the culture according to the class." Xu Shangren said.
