If you want to learn guqin well, you must first learn to listen to guqin.

Because improving the ability to appreciate and discriminate Guqin music is of great benefit to learning Guqin well, and the level of appreciation is improved, there will be high pursuits with comparison, and high pursuits will prompt us to practice harder.

The tone of the piano is clear and pure, subtle and deep, and the rhythm is long. A beautiful qin song flows slowly in a quiet environment, the feeling is like being in a deep mountain, like feeling autumn, like watching a river, like being in a quiet night.

In this hustle and bustle environment, create a comfortable and elegant small space for yourself, the tension of work, the pressure of tasks, the worries between personnel, and even the pain, the inner peace, all vanished.

What kind of mentality do you need to maintain to listen to the sound of the guqin?

1. Respectful heart

The face of the guqin must be respectful. People who love the qin are unwilling to regard the guqin as just a musical instrument; in their eyes, the guqin is the "Tao", a spiritual tool that carries profound philosophy and should be respected. The same is true of learning to listen to the guqin. Facing the guqin is like facing the sages of history, using the heart to talk to our ancestors, feeling the spirit and richness of the ancient ancestors, and being influenced and educated from it.

Guqin is the title music, and each piece has its own specific content and meaning. In the piano score, there is a question solution before each song, explaining the ins and outs of the song, the content of the song and the characteristics of playing. Therefore, qin players or qin listeners should understand this, in order to deeply understand the connotation of qin music.

2. Peace of mind

Facing the guqin, one must have a peaceful mind, and a peaceful mind is the foundation of health. It is recorded in "Suxiang·Ancient Innocent Theory". "Easy to be light and empty, the effect is also due to this. Therefore, we must maintain and continue this neutral and peaceful state of mind when listening to the piano. Slowly appreciate the infinite charm of Guqin music. Illness comes from An."

In other words, if the mind is calm and free from distracting thoughts, there will be no disease. The rhythm of Guqin music is mostly slow, whether it is describing mountains and rivers, geese flying south, or the sadness of parting.

3. Indifferent heart

In the face of the guqin, there must be indifference. Listening to the piano is like practicing Zen. Listening to the qin is only for pleasure, not for fame and fortune, nor for being arty, but should be pondered over and over again, and the deep meaning of ancient songs should be seriously understood. In ancient times, there was a saying that "playing the qin is forbidden", and people who play the qin should cultivate their self-cultivation, that is, they should eliminate the wind of harming others, benefiting themselves, and being frivolous and false.

When listening to the qin, don't take all the fame and fortune to heart. As Bai Juyi, a great poet of the Tang Dynasty, wrote in "The Boat Night Aid the Qin": "The birds perched on the fish without moving, and the moon shines on the deep river at night. There is nothing outside the body, but there is only the qin in the boat. The seven strings are good friends, and the two ears are bosom friends. A quiet mind means a low voice, and there is no past or present."

In our spare time, listening to the sounds of the ancient sounds of nature quietly can help us to meditate, maintain health, and improve our level of learning the guqin. Why not do it? May the guqin be integrated into your life and nourish your life. Indifference to Mingzhi, tranquility to far.
