"Qixian is a good friend, and two ears are bosom friends." On May 28, on this bright summer day, in a quiet afternoon, the Tongyue Qin Museum, the inheritance base of Yancheng Guqin, welcomed a group of lovely young reporters from the Yancheng Evening News. Come and experience the charm of traditional Chinese culture - Guqin art.
Before the start of the event, everyone enjoyed the highlights of the activities since the establishment of the Guqin Committee, so that the young reporters could have a preliminary understanding of the development of the art of Guqin in Yancheng.
Teacher Wang Chuming, a senior Chinese teacher from Jingshan Middle School, served as the host of this "Zuoqin Youshu, National Reading" activity. With the accompaniment of the guqin, Teacher Wang also recited Bai Juyi's "Sail Night Aid Qin" for the little reporters and appreciated it on the spot, so that the children could understand that Bai Juyi was experiencing setbacks and his life was at a low point. The simple and simple sound of the piano made him forget all the sorrows in the world on such a quiet night, and no longer feel sad and lonely. Teacher Wang pointed out from this: Literary chords have a "healing" effect on people's minds. Teacher Wang also suggested that young reporters should read more poems about the guqin.
The speaker, Ms. Shen Weili, is the chairman of the Yancheng Guqin Professional Committee and the fourth-generation successor of the national intangible cultural heritage - Chinese Guqin Art (Mei'an Qin School). Mr. Shen led the young reporters to follow the footsteps of the ancients, learned about the history and culture of the guqin, shared the story of "Looking for a Confidant in High Mountains and Flowing Waters", and shared and Mr. Xu Chang was invited to Wuhan to participate in "Searching for Zhong Ziqi in the City, Qintai" The experience of composing the song "Mengxi Mei'an Guqin special elegant collection", the live performance of "Flowing Water" shocked the audience, and the young reporters excitedly shared: "I can hear the strength change from the teacher's piano sound"" The teacher plays the qin so well, I want to send the teacher a couplet: high mountains and flowing water, spring and white snow."
Guqin was endowed with symbols of auspiciousness, tranquility and harmony in the social life of the ancients. It is a musical instrument that gathers the spiritual energy of heaven and earth.
The structure, fingering and timbre of the guqin represent the harmony between heaven, earth and man. Playing the guqin is to face the sky, the sun, the moon, the mountains and rivers, return to nature, make the mind pure and unsullied, and the harmony between man and nature.
Guqin has a long history, and the most important thing is that it is continuous, which is a living inheritance. Experience playing the guqin and begin to decipher the unique notation method of guqin "minus-character score", which has been used since the Tang Dynasty and has never been replaced.
The young reporters actively participated and communicated with Teacher Shen constantly. In a short period of time, they were integrated into the melody of "A Laugh in the Sea".
Since ancient times, our country has a tradition of unifying vocal poetry. It is a very important art form of national music to compose music for ancient Chinese poetry and integrate sound and poetry. Teacher Shen composed music for Li Bai's "Silent Night Thoughts", and cooperated with the little reporters on the spot to play and sing the qin song "Silent Night Thoughts". The children felt the integration and unity of sound and poetry in the singing of the children. brought the event to a climax.
Mr. Huang Weihua, Secretary General of Guqin Professional Committee and a scholar of ancient musical instruments, shared ancient musical instruments with everyone, so that we not only feasted our eyes, but also saw so many heavyweight treasures of xun, bone flute, pan flute, scorpion, iron qin, and iron flute. , I was even fortunate to listen to the xun solo "Wolong Yin", bone flute, "Thinking through Time and Space", pan flute, "Full Moon", "Qing Ping Le", etc., as if the ancient voices traveled through time and space. The young reporters also learned the story behind the precious iron piano, and enjoyed the perfect interpretation of the iron piano and iron flute. The song "Hongyan" brought us a long aftertaste...
