Since the beginning of the last century, China's traditional culture for thousands of years has been fully impacted, the music field has been completely westernized, and the traditional guqin has survived in the slit of severe challenges.

The basic attributes of the guqin, such as nationality, culture, folk, elegance, and genre, have been constantly denied and cancelled, and replaced by pure music, professional performance, popularization and popularization. This anti-traditional trend of thought has considerable influence and temptation in teaching, inheritance, manoeuvre and performance.

Some Problems in the Inheritance and Practice of Modern Qin Studies

Guqin, by its nature, has clearly told us that protecting and inheriting traditional qin learning is always the mainstream direction. "Joining the WTO" last year further shows that the guqin should be positioned in tradition, which is an objective reality that no one can change. If the traditional piano study is abolished, there will be no guqin. People can innovate and develop other music, but it is not the same as the guqin. Guqin is traditional piano learning, nothing else. To develop the economy and pursue globalization, culture must not be globalized. Culture and art must maintain and carry forward the national character and traditional character, so as to have vitality. This is the trend of history.

As the descendants of Yan and Huang, our generation must see the serious harm brought about by various ideological trends that deny traditional culture. Under the influence of this ideological trend, the innovation and development of qin music is a tree without roots and water without a source. Guqin has gone astray, and the result can only be the loss of the essence of traditional qin learning. Today, more qin people and people of insight should care about the protection and inheritance of the guqin heritage, and make it clear that the traditional protection as it is is the core of inheriting this heritage. We must put aside all prejudices, be tolerant and inclusive, and discuss the grand plan of protection and inheritance, such as discovering excellent ancient songs by making a score; rescuing old qin masters and protecting the school of qin learning; It's the right way. Only in this way can we live up to the precious cultural heritage left by our ancestors.
