"Guqin has seven strings and thirteen emblems..." On the afternoon of the 14th, at the Guqin Appreciation Meeting in the Anhui Provincial Library, Tao Ran, the inheritor of the Jinling Qin School, explained the cultural knowledge of Guqin to the public and played ancient songs on the spot.

Guqin, also known as Yaoqin, Yuqin and Seven-stringed Qin, is a traditional Chinese plucked stringed instrument with a history of more than 3,000 years. Guqin has a wide range, deep timbre and long aftertone.

The Jinling Qin School originated from the royal musicians of the Ming Dynasty. It is a unique Guqin school based on the Jinling Guqin culture. In his early years, Tao Ran followed Gui Shimin, the inheritor of the Jinling School of Guqin Art, a representative project of national intangible cultural heritage, to learn the qin and became his disciple.

Tao Ran said that the guqin contains rich and profound cultural connotations, and has been a favorite tool of ancient Chinese literati for thousands of years. The special identity makes Qin music a musical form with high cultural attributes in the whole Chinese music structure. "Harmony" and "lightness" are the aesthetic tastes advertised and pursued by qin music.

Tao Ran believes that the guqin is a spiritual product of Chinese culture. As an intangible cultural heritage of mankind, it belongs not only to China, but also to all mankind. She said that to understand and understand the guqin, one must respect its cultural connotation and spirit. As a guqin lover, one should also understand how the guqin should be inherited and upheld. Guqin is the carrier of traditional Chinese culture. People who learn qin should follow the norms and pay attention to the improvement of knowledge, cultivation, realm, quality and qin art.

Citizen Ms. Zhang took her 10-year-old daughter to the guqin cultural knowledge lecture on that day. Ms. Zhang is a lover of traditional music. She said that she brought her daughter to listen to the piano, firstly, to let her understand the long and profound origins of Chinese classical music; secondly, to cultivate her interest in music and expand her musical cognition.

Tao Ran and his students also played the famous Guqin songs such as "Flowing Water" and "Guan Shanyue".

It is reported that the Anhui Provincial Library held this Guqin Appreciation Meeting to explore and spread China's excellent traditional music culture and enrich the reading life of book lovers in the summer.
