In 1988, when the national economy was still in its infancy, the development of various industries was not very prosperous, and the guqin industry was no exception. It was inevitable that there were few practitioners and the industry was depressed. The guqin is still a sacred object hanging high on the temple, and the mass base is very weak. Lu Yuping clearly understood this at the time.

Xianhe Guqin:

In 1985, the third national guqin scoring conference was held in Yangzhou Zhenyuan, and Lu Yuping, as a guest, also participated in the scoring conference. That year's Guqin Score Conference was a star-studded one. Many famous artists participated in the conference that year, which made Lu Yuping get to know many famous Guqin players.

In 1988, when the national economy was still in its infancy, there were few practitioners in the guqin or guqin, and the industry was depressed. The guqin is still a sacred object hanging high on the temple, and the mass base is very weak. Lu Yuping clearly understood this at the time. In order to develop the guqin industry, we must start with the masses, let the guqin sink down and fly into the homes of ordinary people. At the very least, the masses should be able to hear the sound of the guqin.

After careful consideration, Lu Yuping came up with an idea. He wants to invite the whole Shanghai Chinese Orchestra to perform, and invite the masses to watch it for free. He found Gong Yi, a friend he had known for several years, who was then the head of the Shanghai Chinese Orchestra. Lu Yuping went straight to the point and explained his intention to Gong Yi. At that time, there were more than 100 performers in the Shanghai Chinese Orchestra, and the whole troupe participated in the performance, which was quite a battle.

Xianhe Guqin:

Food and accommodation for the whole group of more than 100 people, round-trip tickets; plus the cost of the venue, it is a lot of expenses. For a while, Gong Yi didn't know what the young boss in front of him was drawing. Lu Yuping saw Gong Yi's doubts and smiled: "In the past few years, I have traveled to many places and met many experts. The mass base of the guqin industry is not yet very broad. In short, nationwide, there is no How many musical instrument factories.

In order for the Guqin industry to truly develop, we must first let the masses have access to this art, let them take a look, listen, and feel it.

Lu Yuping said, maybe one concert can't change the fundamentals, so we will hold a few more concerts; maybe we can't change the status quo in a year, then we will continue to do so. Gong Yiwan did not expect that the factory manager in front of him had such a high profile. He thought about the problem, not from the interests of businessmen, but from the long-term development of the industry, and more importantly, to promote Yangzhou guqin culture.
