In order to help create the "Cultural Capital of East Asia" and better display the history and culture of Zhucheng. On June 29, the inauguration ceremony of the Zhucheng School Guqin and Shuqin Skills Training Center, a provincial intangible cultural heritage project in Shandong, was successfully held at the Hengfengtang Shuqin Studio.
Wang Zhiwei, Secretary of the Party Group of the Zhucheng Culture and Tourism Bureau, and Chen Bolin, Director of the Intangible Cultural Heritage Center jointly unveiled the Zhucheng School Guqin and Choyqin Skills Training Center. Li Jiatao, the representative non-hereditary inheritor of the Zhucheng School Guqin and qin skills, performed the Guqin on the spot.
It is understood that the qin is a very complex and meticulous work, and it is very particular about materials and craftsmanship. From the start of construction to the finished product, each piano has more than 100 processes, which lasted about two years.
斫 means to cut with a knife and axe. Picking the qin, cutting wood to make a qin, that is, making a qin, as early as more than 4,300 years ago, Yu Shun, who was born in Zhufeng Village, Zhucheng, Shandong Province, was quite good at playing and making qin. "The tong is the qin, the rope is the string, and the weaving mulberry is the serpent." "Only the tong wood is dry and sparse." And the gods are decent. Before cutting it, put it into long running water, soak it for seven or seven days, and then chop it off." This is the main point of Yu Shun's qin making, and later generations still follow it. Guqin all use silk strings, which are tough and pure in tone. In recent years, some have transformed the strings into tail dragon-wound steel strings.
The skill of qin has retained extremely valuable cultural wealth for the society, and has extremely high humanistic and artistic value. In the future, through the joint efforts of everyone, I believe that the career of Zhucheng Guqin will gradually develop, grow, and enter into glory.
