Why don't some pianists like to draw bar lines on the notation when they play notation?
This has to do with the cultural differences between Chinese and foreign music. The numbered notation has stricter requirements on the measures. The number of notes is taken as a beat, and the number of beats in each measure must be clearly marked. The phrases of traditional Chinese music are divided by sentence reading. Especially the minus-character notation of Guqin, which is derived from the notation of characters, is even more obvious in this respect, such as three-character sentences, four-character sentences...seven-character sentences and so on. Therefore, in the notation of Guqin, the bar lines of Western music cannot be used to divide the bars, and the bar lines that we draw when playing the notation are all in the sentence reading, which is used as a sentence break.
