The balance of yin and yang in Guqin tone: Guqin music is mainly influenced by Confucian ideas of uprightness and peace, gentleness and honesty, "music of virtue" and Taoism's ideology of conforming to nature, sound in harmony, subtle and distant, etc.

Traditional qin music mainly uses the pentatonic scale, that is, the pentatonic scale, which can be said to be the implementation of the Confucian thought of harmony and elegance in music, while the style and artistic conception of qin music is mainly a reflection of Taoist thought.

Due to the shape, timbre, theme, connotation, structure and other factors of its musical instrument, the musical style of Guqin tends to be static, simple, implicit, ancient, feminine, lyrical, and elegant. Many people even think that the instrument is silent when they first listen to it.

The ancients also said that the guqin is "difficult to learn, easy to forget, and unpleasant to listen to", and "no one listens to the qin when it works". "I don't like it", "No one listens to it", in fact, it is precisely because the style of guqin music belongs to the static beauty of quietness, virtual tranquility, deep tranquility, quietness, tranquility and so on. This is why the guqin is most suitable for playing at night when people are quiet, because such an environment can match the style of qin music and the artistic conception it pursues. The whole Guqin music art is called Qindao for a reason, because the appreciation and understanding of Guqin cannot be understood only from its musical tune, but comprehensively from multiple aspects as the spiritual reflection of intellectuals. All this is reflected in the choice of subject matter, the pursuit of artistic conception, and the norms of morality, which represent the ideal style and aesthetic standard of qin music.
