Lingling seven-stringed sound, as clear as jade pot ice, a piece of century-old wood, after hundreds of procedures such as strict shaping, piano surface, grooved belly, and harpsichord, it was finally processed by Tang Haixia, the representative inheritor of the Shikuang Guqin intangible cultural heritage project. Become a teacher Kuang Guqin who rides on a bed.

Shi Kuang was a famous music master in the pre-Qin period, known as the "Saint of Music", and he left a rich and precious spiritual cultural heritage for his hometown Xintai. In Beishi Village, Qingyun Street, Xintai City, thousands of years have settled in a piano workshop, and the sound of time and space has been brewed under the hands of Tang Haixia.

"The Shikuang-style guqin is in the shape of a full moon around the waist, so it is also called 'Crescent Style'. This guqin has a peculiar shape and a rhythm like a chime, which can not only bring visual aesthetic enjoyment to people, but also bring uniqueness to people. The best listening experience is what attracts me to Shikuang Guqin the most." said Tang Haixia, the fifth-generation successor of Shikuang Guqin. As the fifth-generation descendant of Shikuang Guqin, Tang Haixia watched her grandfather and uncles hand-picking the qin since she was a child. developed a strong interest. However, hand-picking the qin is very hard, and Tang Haixia is a girl. At the earliest, the family did not plan to let Tang Haixia inherit this skill.

Around 2013, Tang Haixia's uncle was getting older, and seeing that this craft was about to be lost, Tang Haixia decided to carry forward this craft. The inheritance technique is simple, but how to carry forward the precious spiritual cultural heritage left by Le Shengshikuang is a question worth thinking about. Therefore, while Tang Haixia decided to inherit the skills of Master Kuang's guqin, she went out of Xintai to exchange and study all over the country. Tang Haixia's first stop came to Qufu, where she communicated and consulted with Yang Jinghe, the non-genetic inheritor of Zhongni's guqin making skills. The Zhongni-style guqin and the Shikuang-style guqin are both ancient qin styles that have been inherited for a long time. The collision and fusion of the two cultures have brought new inspiration and thinking to Tang Haixia.

From 2013 to 2015, Tang Haixia devoted herself to researching and polishing skills. After 23 beds, she developed the art of artificially making "broken zither". The so-called broken lines are all kinds of broken lines on the surface of the piano due to long-term weathering and vibration during playing. A good broken pattern can make the guqin look more simple and beautiful. At the same time, when the guqin is played, the broken pattern can form a resonance, which makes the sound of the guqin more loose and quaint, and the tone is better. The existing high-quality broken-grain qin are often old ones that have been around for a long time.

Generally speaking, the guqin does not have broken lines for only a hundred years. Even if there are broken lines, it is difficult to say whether the broken lines can add flavor and color to the guqin. In the past, artificially created broken grains were mostly cut with a knife, and the broken grains were unnatural, not only unsightly, but also affected the sound of the guqin. After painstaking research, Tang Haixia innovated and developed the technology of using temperature control to achieve broken lines. Many professionals traveled thousands of miles to Beishi Village to seek pianos. On average, a "broken piano" can be sold for more than 100,000 yuan.

In addition, Tang Haixia broke the limitation that the family only made and sold pianos in the past, and established the Lesheng Shikuang Qin Institute to provide public welfare classes for a long time. Handed down. "Today, we have developed into a Shikuang Guqin Cultural and Art Center that integrates Guqin design creativity, customization of the body, research on ancient method production, non-genetic inheritance of the qin, education and training, and cultural exchange and dissemination." Tang Haixia said. Tang Haixia said that in the next step, she will recreate the artistic style of Guqin, regain the memory of Guqin culture, and inherit the national cultural bloodline.
