When people talk about the guqin today, many pictures will immediately emerge: there is far from "Bo Ya drumming the qin, Ziqi's confidant", when Ziqi died, Bo Ya was a broken qin, and the high mountains and flowing waters that would never drum again, Sima Xiangru and Zhuo Wen. The "Phoenix and Phoenix" by Jun "representing the qin in words, chatting and writing heartfelt words, wishing to be worthy of virtue, and joining hands with each other", was recently adapted from Jin Yong's "Swordsman", the heroic and free singing "A Laugh in the Sea" ...

Guqin, also known as Yaoqin, Suqin, Lyre, Sitong, etc., is one of the oldest plucked instruments in the world. It was recorded as early as 3,000 years ago in the Western Zhou Dynasty. At the end of the Spring and Autumn Period, the qin had already ranked first in the four arts of traditional Chinese culture, "qin, chess, calligraphy and painting", and was known as the "God of Musical Instruments".

The Zhucheng School Guqin originated from the [Yushan] school, which was formed in the mid-19th century, also known as the "Langya School Guqin". Schools, eclectic, adhering to the classics, blooming unique artistic charm in the land of Weishui. In 2008, it was selected into the second batch of national intangible cultural heritage projects list.

Walking into the Guqin Square, the intangible cultural heritage space of Shihu Garden, I saw Zhong Liang, the owner of the Zhucheng School Guqin and the Weifang Siyin Guqin Museum, was learning the piano, and the faint sound of the piano brought a sense of elegance and tranquility. The ethereal and leisurely artistic conception allows the soul to get rid of "dust" in a pure and elegant environment, and obtain a fresh and refined "spiritual nourishment"... The song is low and generous, the rhythm is soothing and stable, like talking to a friend. The music stopped, and the reverberation echoed around the beam.

In 2019, Zhong Liang settled in the Shihu Garden intangible cultural heritage space, following the main line of the Zhucheng School of Guqin, adhering to the tenet of "based on tradition, inheritance, combination of ancient and modern, preaching and dispelling doubts", with the responsibility of promoting traditional culture and disseminating the art of Guqin, launched There are a number of guqin study courses, and so far there have been hundreds of traditional culture lovers here to study guqin.

"It is not difficult to learn a piece of qin music, but it is not easy to play it well." Zhong Liang said that learning the qin is not only a matter of proficiency and refinement in techniques, but also requires an understanding of the qin piece, and the qin tune is prioritized and rhythmic to play the guqin. The connotation of the song is fully revealed. Therefore, in order to play the guqin well, in addition to studying fingering, it is also necessary to deeply understand the historical background of the production of the qin music, and interpret the composer's emotions, as if talking to him in space.

In the long-term teaching, Guqinfang has accumulated rich teaching experience and a systematic teaching model, and has built a learning and communication platform for the local Guqin lovers in Weifang with the help of friends and morals. Here, we can find soulmates, find gaps, talk about culture, and discuss with each other, slow down while busy, discard distracting thoughts, relax in the beauty of artistic conception, reduce stress, relieve anxiety, and gain physical and mental freedom and stretch.
