The gentleman entertained himself with qin books, such as "moving the bed and lying down on the sun eaves, lying down and chanting leisurely poems on the side of the qin", "the seven strings are really interesting, and the life of ten thousand scrolls" makes people fascinated.

There is such a place in Anshan, Liaoning Province, with plain walls and green eaves, the pond in the courtyard is not large, the fish under the lotus chasing the clouds and shadows in the water attract people to stop, and a clump of lush bamboos in front of the door reflects the wall with the engraved "Xuqin Room" on the wall. The small wooden sign looks very different. Mr. Zhang Yan from the Xuqin Room introduced that the "Xuqin Room" was taken from the Tao Te Ching, "To achieve the ultimate in emptiness and keep quietness". It was a guqin inheritance studio that he founded ten years ago after he resigned from a foreign-funded enterprise. It is very small. , also has a very character, with the "four do not accept" rules, that is, do not accept children, do not accept misbehavior, do not accept grandstanding, and do not accept fame and fortune. The Guqin Hall should find ways to attract more students. The Xuqin Room has a lot of "rules", which is quite different.

Liaoning Anshan Xuqin Room inherits the traditional culture of intangible cultural heritage Guqin

As a violin hall founded by the inheritor of the Guqin of the Fanchuan School, a well-known genre of Chinese guqin, the Xuqin Room has many opportunities to perform and promote, but it rarely participates in activities and rarely sees its promotion. Teacher Zhang Yan revealed that this is because of the character of the guqin. We should respect the delicacy and elegance of the guqin, respect the people who play and listen to the qin, and the tranquility and elegance. of elegant mood. In ancient times, the qin and the book were the symbols of the literati, or the two spiritual sustenances of the literati, both of which could not be given up. Both the qin and the book are full of literati's emotions. The qin is the guqin, and the book has two meanings: book and calligraphy. They promote each other spiritually and sublime each other. Guqin, quiet and distant, ancient and tranquil, embodies the spiritual pursuit of the literati, with a free and easy way of "being complacent with all things, and letting go and stay with one's life and life". As a representative of literati music, with the disappearance of the literati class in China, the art of guqin has gradually been marginalized and even forgotten by society.

In 2003, the art of guqin was approved by UNESCO as the "Representative Work of Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity". This art form, which had a profound impact on Chinese culture in the past, has begun to be re-understood by people. In just 20 years, the guqin has never been known to the public, and when it flew into the homes of ordinary people, in addition to being lively, it was found that many people today no longer have the mood of the ancients to learn the qin, which has stained the impetuous habits of the current society. There are professors who are famous for their reputation and indiscriminate innovations, who are out of the basics and boast about quick success, and who are famous for being famous in various associations. There are others; those who learn the piano are those who follow fashion and those who want to get on the stage for exams. There is. Few people care about the humanistic spirit of the guqin, and they devote themselves to reading quietly, pursuing "the qin is for self-cultivation, and the book is for life", thinking about the ancient literati's pursuit of "the Yazhai lying down and listening to Xiaoxiaozhu, it is suspected that it is the voice of folk suffering", "the worries of the world". And worry" is about the spiritual feelings of the common people. Over the past 20 years, Guqin has gone through a cycle of seeking its roots, innovating, and inheriting. What we need most now is to adhere to the traditional concept of Guqin, be introverted and deep, feel the interest of the ancients, and pass on the most original and traditional Guqin.

The Xuqin Room holds a number of elegant gatherings inside every year, forming a series of elegant gatherings such as "Traveling the Heart with Things", "The Harmony of Qin and Books", and "The Legend of Shu Vein". People provide more opportunities to communicate. Let people experience in the sound of the piano the elegant artistic conception of "besides letting go of the waves and skeletons, the music of the piano book to relieve worries" and "going to the meeting with a clear and clear sound, how to take precautions".
