Guqin, also known as Yaoqin, Yuqin and Qixian, is a traditional Chinese plucked stringed instrument with a history of more than 3,000 years. Guqin has a wide range, deep timbre and long aftertone.

Agitated: Cai Yong was a master in the qin world at the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty and a famous figure in history. Among the forty-seven qin pieces in his book "Qin Cao", there is a poem "Cut the Sandalwood" for the livelihood of the people Pain, the world is injustice and "Looking up to the sky and sighing". There is "Singing with the help of the piano, the rhythm is stimulated, like the sound of thunder" in "Pili Yin"

Huamei: Ji Kang, a famous guqin master in the Wei and Jin Dynasties, described the qin music in his "Qin Fu", and clearly declared that it was the best of the "eight-tone instruments", that is, the most superior musical instrument, and filled it with many aspects. Emotional description: "Hua Rong Zhuo, flourishing and bright, what is it." "The new voice is loud, how magnificent." "Participating in hair and interesting, tired from top to bottom, it is enough for Zhuo Dixie and Bel Canto to flourish. "

"(Menda) is splendid, the wind is terrifying and the clouds are chaotic", "British voices are more and more, and Caicai is charming", "Western learning, strong voices spread", "Shi Jie (the strangeness of the handle Jiaqi) is generous with generosity. , or resentment (the female character next to the tiger character and the New Year's Day) hesitated. Huan Yanqiwei, unrecognizable." "The mouth is poor and beautiful, and the pervertedness is not", "Variation and use are mixed together. , standing up to the audience to listen to and horrified." "Sincerely, you can feel your heart and vent your feelings."

Heroism: For example, in Li Bai's poem "Listening to Shu Monk Playing the Qin", "wave your hand for me as if listening to ten thousand pine pine". Affectionate, the Tang poem "Wushan night rains, Xiangshui Qingbo refers to the next life" has the romantic and deep infatuation of the Wushan goddess falling into a dream and the Queen E's tears.

The atmosphere is like the guqin piece "Flowing Water", Boya plays the qin, Zhong Ziqi is good at listening, towering like a mountain, and the soup is like running water. Passionate and passionate guqin songs such as "Guangling San" show great appeal. The Yuan Dynasty qin master's poem: "I will play an angry chapter, and the cold wind will rustle."

"The clouds and smoke change rapidly, the wind and thunder breathe freely. Several thorns are made, and the fingers are banging and thundering. One drum moves with ten thousand breaths, and then ghosts and gods cry."

Xu Qingshan, a famous guqin master in the late Ming and early Qing dynasties, put forward in detail the aesthetic orientation and approach of qin music from various aspects in his "Twenty-Four Qin Conditions". Among them, there are twelve items of harmony, tranquility, clearness, distance, lightness, tranquility, elegance, cleanliness, moisturization, fineness, lightness, and lateness.

The other eight items: Yi, Bright, Harvest, Strong, Macro, Strong, Heavy, and Fast belong to the range of Passionate, Rich, Vigorous, and Intense. In addition, ancient, beautiful, garden, and slip can be combined in the artistic conception of these two ranges.

It can be seen that in Xu Qingshan's "Twenty-Four All Things", the actual performance of qin music and the orientation of aesthetic concepts can be seen in the enthusiasm, richness, and vigorousness, which account for one-third of the proportion, which seems to be in a secondary position in a few situations.

However, the four items of tranquility, elegance, cleanliness, and slipping, which belong to the leisurely and peaceful range, are also capable of "perfecting the mystery, expressing the stagnation, responding to the top and bottom, arrogantly contradicting each other, singing and melodious, and expressing the beauty according to the mood". The soul-stirring power of the true essence cannot be affected by simple numbers.

To sum up the above, the performance content of guqin music is extremely rich. According to the different performance content of the traditional guqin music, it has the characteristics of enthusiasm, richness, vigorousness, atmosphere, heroic, strong, leisurely, gentle, quiet and beautiful.
