The zither is the heart, and the zither is the chanting, so the heart is the chanting.

The guqin has become the first choice instrument for literati and poets to express their emotions. It is not only related to the profound cultural connotation of the guqin and the spiritual sustenance above it, but is also determined by the unique musical and artistic expression of the guqin.

The zither is of medium size and sound is harmonious, loud and not noisy but flows, and low voices are not annihilated but not heard, which is enough to harmonize people's will and touch people's kindness.

Influenced by the cultural quality it carries, Guqin music always plays the aesthetic function of "entering oneself" rather than "entering others". It often uses small and weak voices to express profound and broad meanings.

Sometimes, in order to realize the feeling of reality and reality of music, the mood of clear and distant music is created, and the weak and strong sounds are often used to perform large paragraphs to form an aesthetic artistic conception of guqin music that is quiet and profound, mysterious and inaction.

The guqin has always pursued the artistic expression of "sound beyond strings" and "meaning beyond sound", and strives to seek the tranquility, freedom and liberation of the zither's personal mind in the aesthetic conception of natural and tranquility, tranquility and distantness, and to achieve the artistic realm of "the words are endless but the meaning is infinite" and "can be understood but not expressed". This freehand and realistic expression method is inseparable from the aesthetic tradition of China that does not seek gorgeous forms but pays attention to the inner meaning.

It is precisely because the guqin music music has many irreplaceable characteristics in terms of tone, pitch, length, and strong sound, which finally formed the musical style of the guqin with "light music and few sounds", creating a clear, quiet and meaningful aesthetic artistic conception of the guqin music, which prompted the qin to become the best instrument for the ancients to express their philosophical concepts and aesthetic imagination.

Cultivate one's own nature and calm the mind and enlighten the piano.

1. Honour the piano

People who truly love guqin are unwilling to regard guqin as just a musical instrument, an object that can be placed at will. They believe that guqin is Tao, a spiritual instrument that must be worshipped with profound connotations and philosophy. Guqin is a good teacher and friend, and is a lifelong relative and friend. Before playing the guqin, the ancients had to bathe and change clothes, burn incense and wash their hands. This was not a superstition, but a respect for the guqin.

Facing the guqin is like facing people’s ancestors, using their own hearts to talk to their ancestors, feel the soul and prosperity of their ancestors, and be influenced and educated. Therefore, when playing the guqin, you should not shake your head, look left and right, sit upright, concentrate, and always show a kind of humility and respect.

There is a saying in the theory of piano science that "no play" is said. Some of them have strong contemporary nature, which reflects the worship and respect for the guqin, but are needed for self-cultivation and health preservation. Why are there many guqins that are well preserved but rarely have other instruments? This is first of all, because the Aegeans regard the guqin as a treasure.

Today's piano players still need to establish the concept of respecting the piano. Especially practitioners, if they do not respect or believe, how can they achieve the purpose of self-cultivation and health preservation?

2. Calm

Calm mood is the source of health. "Su Wen·Ancient Innocence Theory" records. "Enjoy and nothingness, follow the true energy, keep the spirit inward, and illness comes from peace." This means that if you are calm and do not move distracting thoughts, the disease will not happen.

"Su Wen·Ancient Innocence" also points out: "There is no urgent need for thinking inside, and the focus is on licking pleasure, and self-satisfaction is the result. If you don't lose your body or your spirit, you can count hundreds of times." This shows that if you have a happy mood and be content with your heart, you will prolong your life. If you want to become famous and make money every day, then the anxiety and distress that will accompany you will inevitably be healthy. How can you maintain your health?

Due to its structure, the volume of the guqin is relatively small. Some people regard this as a fatal flaw of the guqin and is an instrument with no prospect of development.

In fact, this is the advantages and strengths of the guqin. A low volume requires a quiet environment. The nature-like tone is refreshing and calms people's mood.

Therefore, in a quiet environment, listening or playing the piano quietly can help you find a pure land in the hustle and bustle of the city, which is to cultivate yourself and maintain health.

Shang Ruo played a loud musical instrument, not only the people in the same room were disturbed, but even the neighbors on both sides were affected, and his heart was difficult to remain quiet.

So some people say: "The guzheng is pleasant to the ears, and the guqin is pleasant to the heart."

Among the ancient literati class, the four arts of "qin, chess, calligraphy and painting" that cultivate one's character, qin ranks first. Perhaps it is precisely because of the unique "heart-pleasing" effect of the guqin, its vitality continues over three thousand years and will be loved by more and more people.

Three, Qing Desire

What is pure desire? That is, the intention of clearing the mind and having few desires, and cultivating a calm mind.

As a piano player, playing the piano is to please yourself, not to compete for fame, not seek profit, not to worry about it, and not to be unhappy about it.

Don’t seek novelty in clothing, and please people with the effect. You don’t have to be greedy for the music you play, but you have to play three or five well, ten or eight are enough.

Carve carefully, repeatedly ponder, and carefully understand the profound meaning of the ancient song. Do not adapt it at will, and do not aim at playing and listening to it well.

Some people oppose the statement that "the piano is prohibited" and believe that it imprisons people's thoughts. This is still necessary. If a piano player cultivates one's self-cultivation, that is, he should eliminate the frivolous and false trend of harming others and benefiting oneself.

The piano is prohibited, and what is prohibited is immoral thoughts, words and deeds. This is an important part of cultivating one's own nature. The piano is the heart. It must correct the heart of others, not the heart of villains. It is the heart based on cultivating one's own nature, rather than the heart of nature.

Four, perseverance

Perseverance means a spirit of perseverance. The characteristic of the guqin is that each string has many scales, and the same note is played on different strings to form different tones, so it is difficult to remember the song.

At the same time, some fingering techniques also require repeated practice to produce results. Therefore, you need to work hard and persist in a balanced manner. Generally speaking, you can get started after half a year; you can persist for one year and achieve results first; you can persist for life and get the mystery of the guqin.

Five, Harmony

The heart and the zither are harmonious, the strings and fingers are harmonious, and the sound and rhythm are harmonious. Only when the zither is harmonious produces wonderful sounds, and only when the sounds and harmony are moving. Harmony is the most important thing. Treat relatives, friends, neighbors, colleagues, and all people who have no malice will, and seek harmony.

To be harmonious externally, you must be harmonious internally, not make things difficult for yourself, not demanding yourself, and not indulging yourself, and you must seek a peaceful mind. If you are harmonious in your heart, you will be harmonious, and harmony will promote harmony in your heart.

In the process of learning and playing the guqin, not only cultivate one's character, cultivate one's sentiment, but also achieve the effect of health and wellness. Why not do it?

People who truly love guqin are unwilling to regard guqin as just a musical instrument, an object that can be placed at will. They believe that guqin is Tao, a spiritual instrument that must be worshipped with profound connotations and philosophy. Guqin is a good teacher and friend, and is a lifelong relative and friend.

Before playing the piano, you have to take a shower, change your clothes, burn incense and wash your hands. This is not a superstition, but a respect for the guqin.

Facing the guqin is like facing a ancestor, using your own heart to talk to the ancestors, feeling the hearts and prosperity of the ancestors, and being influenced and educated.

Therefore, when playing the piano, you should not shake your head, look around, sit upright, concentrate, and always show a kind of humility and respect.

There is a saying in human zither theory that "no play" is the saying. Some of them have strong contemporary nature and may not be suitable for the needs of others, but they reflect the admiration and respect for the guqin.

Respect is needed for self-cultivation and health preservation. Why are there many well-preserved guqins but few other instruments?

This is first of all, because the Aegeans regard the guqin as a treasure, and the guqin people still need to establish the concept of respecting the guqin. How can one achieve the purpose of self-cultivation and health preservation if one does not respect or believe?

The guqin pine wind is clear from the clear sound:

A guqin brings charm to history;

A guqin carves the traces of travel in history.

The first faint zither sound came out from the piano platform in the mountain stream. From then on, the ancient culture full of book and poetry has been immersed in beautiful notes. Listen to the zither, the color of the spring, the sound of the flowers, the brightness of the moon, and the long chant of the wind.

The rhyme of the piano makes everything lively with water, the fragrance of grass, the elegance of wine and singing, and the calmness of walking as dangerous as a barbaric

Because the person who plucks the strings is not a gentle and charming Shuyuan, he must be a master with fairy style, an ambition scholar, or a talent who is willing to be indifferent.

The expression must be peaceful, the mind must be outstanding, the interest must be lofty, and the character must be free from dust.

When Donghuang Mingyue faced this guqin, she thought more about Gao Jie who fished alone in the Han River, her anger and anger, and her life in the Sheep's Grassland.

Indeed, a guqin treasures too many stories. Any one that can shock the world and the world, and any one that can tell you can be remembered and remembered forever. It will be remembered forever and will last forever. It will make the past profound, the culture exciting, and the history deep.

The guqin is only a few feet long, but it is broad-minded and cultivates the world.

The guqin has only dozens of strings, but it flows through the flowing water and interprets the universe.

The guqin is a carrier of the splendid Chinese culture. Its sounds can not only reflect mountains, flowing water, bright moon, and breeze, but also reflect the bricks, houses, and various charms. Because of this, the guqin has been passed down from generation to generation by the descendants of Yan and Huang, inheriting a kind of endless journey and perseverance, and inheriting into a soul and spirit of self-improvement.

Donghuang Mingyue really wants to put a guqin on her desk so that the time and space of the soul are surrounded by the quiet and low-pitched music. The more calm and calm smile, the more free and fresh the pen, the more quiet and comfortable the dream, and the more simple and innocent the personality.

If this is true, then: the moonlight will be brighter and the morning breeze will be more transparent and sweeter.

The bright moon in Donghuang played the piano, and the strings that were plucked were nothing special, but the extremely ordinary string movements and rhythms were very unusual.

The world is the same color, and all things are silent. After silence, it gradually moves. Water is moving, trees are moving, and mountains seem to move. Everything is always affected by the rhythm. (To be continued)
