It is said that playing the guzheng can cultivate temperament, and people who can play the guzheng are either male gods or goddesses in the imagination of ordinary people. Is it actually that amazing? Our former classmates looked at each other and thought it was quite ordinary. It is very likely that a wretched man dangling outside the piano room turned into a guzheng master as soon as he entered the piano room. Of course, once the seemingly ordinary people in the audience get on the stage, put on suits, long skirts, and play freely under the spotlight, gods and goddesses are born. Buddhas rely on gold clothes and people rely on clothes, and gods also need to be packaged.

Having said that, the people who play the piano are somewhat different. This difference may be related to the experience of learning the piano. Where does this difference manifest itself?

1. confidence. Talented people are a little proud in their hearts and feel that they are a little different. What's more, the guzheng is such a touching instrument? When you finally play beautiful music on the zither after hard work, the sense of pride will definitely increase your self-confidence, and you will become more and more confident in your ability to do things independently.
2. atmosphere. If children who learn piano often perform in front of others, or take part in grading exams and competitions, they will hone their good psychological qualities. They can behave gracefully and decently in big scenes. Mount Tai collapsed in front of him without changing his color, showing the demeanor of a general who lifts weights lightly. As a parent of a piano child, you should also consciously allow your child to participate in various performances to exercise their courage.
3. Calm down. The guzheng is really a great instrument. If you have seen boring and dense etudes and guzheng concertos with too many voices, you will find that there are not many things in the world that can stun you and scare you. "It's not necessarily harder than playing the qin", is a phrase that people who learn guzheng often talk about. Therefore, well-informed guzheng lovers always face all difficulties indifferently and rarely make a fuss.
4. open. Guzheng music is rich in genres and styles. Every time you learn a new work and come into contact with a new composer, you have the potential to enter a new world. People who learn piano need to constantly adapt to new things, so as to develop an open and inclusive mentality.
5. sensitive. The goal of learning guzheng is to experience the emotion of the music and express it. This requires ears and fingers to be particularly sensitive to detail, and the mind to have deep insight. Listening to the sound of gongs and drums, listening to speech, people who have been trained in music since childhood can often capture the subtle changes in the voice and intonation of others when they speak, and feel the emotions of the other party. Combined with the experience of expressing feelings, they can also infect others by controlling their tone of voice. People who learn the piano well have high emotional intelligence!

As a guzheng teacher, I have come into contact with many children. I feel that today's children are much bolder and more generous than when we were young. Children born in this era have broader horizons, broader knowledge, and all kinds of talents are popularized. Although I sometimes feel that they are tired and a little pitiful, thinking about their life will be richer, more possibilities and creative, it is worth the effort when they were young. Really looking forward to this new generation growing up, let's wait and see!
