The piano table is a special table for placing and playing the guqin. The piano table has a long history. During the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, people were still sitting on their knees. At this time, the piano table was shorter than today. The height of the covered piano table depends on whether it is convenient to play the piano, that is, practicality.

The history and culture of the guqin table

With the development of time, I do not know when a kind of piano table appeared. The height is between the fingertips of the Guqin table and the Jinqin table, but a hollow brick is placed on the table top. Guqin is pleasing to oneself, because the sound of the Guqin is so small that only oneself and a few people around him can hear it. And this kind of piano tile is designed to improve the low volume of the guqin.

Until modern times, the combination of piano table and piano tiles is still popular. In modern times, we can use speaker amplifiers to solve the problem, and this "ugly" piano tile will quickly disappear.

As a part of the Guqin culture, the Guqin table is also sought after by many people. However, both the guqin table and the guqin are instruments, and the level of the guqin still depends on our hands and hearts. You must not play with things to lose their minds!

Mr. Zha Fuxi once said: "Liang uses a qin master's qin for playing, and if there is a qin that can be played, it is enough, and most of the wonderful sounds are beyond people's hands. It is new and ancient. Besides, qin masters respect their profession, and they have no time to distract themselves from listening to the music, so what is the difference between Angqin and qin masters?” This is exactly the reason.
