When learning Guqin, I always think that practicing more techniques is enough, but it is not necessarily true. Although Guqin techniques require diligent practice, they also require more thought. When the guqin is learned to a certain level, thinking is more important than practice. Practice the song, think the god. Composer, playing skills; God, verve. It's easy to get it, but it's hard to get it. Qu Gui is fascinated.

The pursuit of guqin is Shen Yun. If you just immerse yourself in practicing the piano, although the technique is skillful and the finger movement is smooth, it may not be able to achieve its charm. Practicing the qin is the top priority, qi training is second, and music training is second. The charm of the qin cannot be underestimated.

An important part of practicing God is to think more. Think carefully, think deeply, and gradually become fascinated. Qin Zhi is so ugly, in the heart and hands. If you ignore thinking and only focus on practicing hard, in the end you will only be regarded as a skilled piano operator and a piano maker, and it is difficult to have a good song. God is the soul of the successful piano and the life of the music.

The most fundamental difference between a luthier and a luthier is that a luthier has ideas, personality and style. Strictly speaking, a real violinist must be an artistic thinker. People with superficial thinking, lack of knowledge, only know skills, and show off small organs can only become piano craftsmen.

The great artists in history can hold their breath, endure loneliness, and persistently pursue their own artistic individuality. If you are willing to be indifferent, not eager for a good name, if you can sink down and lay a solid foundation, then you will have unlimited freedom and will naturally be a late bloomer. What is the best state to learn any subject?

Confucius said: "Those who know are not as good as those who are good, and those who are good are not as good as those who enjoy music." ("The Analects of Confucius Yongye") These are three different levels. Learning Guqin to be "knowledgeable" is good for those who have a certain talent. It's not difficult to say. To be a good teacher, to have good basic skills, to win a gold and silver award in the Grand Prix, you can only be a "knower", which is the lowest level.

The higher one is the "good person", that is, he has a real hobby for the guqin, and he devotes himself to studying and diligently pursuing it. He constantly pours his own perception and enthusiasm into each piece of qin music, constantly explores and asks, and finally activates the qin music.

The highest realm is called "the person who enjoys music", that is, enjoying the music, and enjoying the comprehension, sublimation, and transcendence of the qin music while playing. This process is always happy in my heart. This kind of music is not a performance fee or a round of applause, but the great joy of my life and emotions. The realm of "player of music" is that in the process of ultimate transcendence, the performer not only completes the art of guqin, but also completes the art of guqin because of his own mind. In this mutual fulfillment, he obtains great enjoyment and joy , this is a big realm.

Guanzi also said: "Think about it, and think about it again. If you don't think about it, the ghosts and gods will tell you." Of course, there are no so-called ghosts and gods, but only the spirituality of people. It means that if you think about it a lot, your mind will become clearer, and the charm will naturally arise. Boya was an excellent guqin player during the Warring States Period. He followed Mr. Cheng Lian to learn the guqin, not only trained his superb playing skills, but also influenced by the "empathy method".

Tang Liu's "Yuefu Problem Solving" contains: "Cheng Lian is good at drumming, and Boya learned from it. He completed it in three years, but he still failed to be subtle. Cheng Lian said: 'My teacher Fang Zichun is in the sea and can transfer people's feelings.' Together to Penglai Mountain, he said: 'I will welcome my teacher.' He stabbed the boat and left, and he did not return for ten days. Boya heard the sound of the sea but did not collapse and hiss. Will transfer my feelings, and sing it with the aid of the qin.' At the end of the song, Cheng Lian stabbed the boat back. Boya became the best player in the world. This song is called "Daffodils Cao"."

According to legend, this text comes from the lost text of Cai Yong's "Qin Cao" in the Eastern Han Dynasty. It is not far from the life of Boya, so it can be regarded as a more authentic and credible record. Mr. Cheng Lian's "empathy method" is not based on mysterious concepts outside life, but on the basis of specific living environment; he does not use abstract rational thinking to change Boya's thoughts and feelings, but With the help of changes in the living environment, Boya's thoughts and feelings were changed and deepened.

When Boya arrived at the seaside and mountains of Penglai, the vast sea, the tranquil mountains and forests, the sceneries of dawn, dusk, sunset and moonrise were constantly changing, which made Boya enter a new, vast and rich world, and he was bound to gain many new feelings. This story shows that as far back as two thousand years ago during the Warring States Period, qin masters had clearly put forward the theory of "empathy" that the art of guqin should not only be performed with techniques, but must also be based on life experience.

The qin music was called "the voice of the heart" by the ancients, and it casts the performer's life experience, aesthetic concept and personality pursuit. With the help of the qin music, the performer weeps or complains, sings or sings, or sits up or leans back, and through empathy, the charm of the qin music hits people's hearts and makes the listeners have a strong sense of empathy. If you play a piece of qin music, your heart is like a dry well, or like spring water that does not wrinkle, the work will appear lifeless, boring, like chewing wax. The joy of playing and appreciating is gone.

In other words, if Boya is only intoxicated by his own skillful techniques, without thinking or thinking, he cannot understand the profound artistic conception of Chenglian playing the qin "song is the voice of the heart, and the heart and the hand are one", and become arrogant and arrogant. Even if Cheng Lian brought him to Penglai, he turned a blind eye to everything in front of him, and waited for Fang Zichun blindly.

The ancients said, "God is in the heart". Learning the qin is very important, so you need to think about it. Thinking is the key to gaining God. Before playing the violin, one should concentrate and contemplate and have some expectations. "Prediction" is the key to obtaining God. There is no "prediction", and the piano played is either floating or slippery. "Thinking" before playing, the heart is clear and the fingers are smooth, and the music played is bound to be interesting.
