In the ancient "qin, chess, calligraphy and painting", the qin ranks first. This "qin" refers to our guqin. Guqin has a long history. As a traditional Chinese plucked string instrument, it belongs to the eight-tone silk, with a "broad" sound range and a timbre'' deep and distant".
When it comes to the guqin, what most people think of is the tranquility of mountains and rivers. This tranquility is divided into two points. One is that people who play the qin need peace of mind, so in ancient times, it was more loved and respected by literati and refined scholars. The environment for playing needs to be very quiet. Only when the environment is quiet can one feel the profound and profound artistic conception played by the guqin.
The sound range of the guqin contains four octaves and two tones, but it also contains three kinds of tones, namely scattered tone, overtone, and pressing tone. The pronunciation of scattered sounds is deep and thick, as solid as the foundation, and the aftertaste is loud. It is round and delicate, tactfully lyrical, as if a person is eloquently pouring out his heart, so it symbolizes people.
The expressive power of Guqin is extremely rich, and through different playing techniques, many different characteristics and artistic conceptions can be brought into play. The unique deep and distant nature of Guqin allows people to wash away their inner impetuosity and feel the peace of their inner world with their hearts. And joy, so that our soul and mood can be sublimated!
