Guqin Appreciation and Collection

The story of Yu Boya and Zhong Zi’s “Alpine Flow” was well-known in my country. This story shows that the piano is an important tool for scholars' impromptu expressions. Qinqin has a strong personality because of this improvisation. In the Spring and Autumn Period, Confucius and Yu Boya were top players in Fuqin. The nephew said: "Borache has a tyre, and six horses reign." Therefore, the scribes in the pre-Qin period must have cultivation in all aspects of painting and calligraphy, and Qin is the most important.

The origin of the piano and the origin of the piano are mysterious. It is said that Fuxi or Shennong cut Tung for the piano, and the wire is the string. Known data show that the Zhou Dynasty used the piano to perform the Book of Songs. Later in the "Song" Week, it became a tool for literati's music.

The production of the piano is wonderful. Each piece of the piano is very particular about the choice of materials. The yin and yang of wood, the height of the head and tail, will determine the timbre of the piano is high or low. According to legend, the East Han Dynasty writer Cai Yongyuan traced Wu Hui and saw the villagers use paulownia for cooking. Cai Hao judged it to be a good material for piano music based on the sound of wood burning. So he grabbed the burnt paulownia from the stove fire and used it to make the piano. It really was extraordinary. This is the famous “foxtail” piano. In addition, Lei Qin, made by the famous craftsmen Lei Wei of the Tang Dynasty, and Yueqin made by Zhang Yue, Ma Qinqin made by the Ma Xiren brothers of the Song Dynasty, Qin Zhiyuan made by the Yuan Dynasty, and Qin made by the Wu brothers of the Ming dynasty were all ancient dynasties. Collection of heads. After the Qing Dynasty, there would be no better music.

The music of the piano is very interesting. Guqin only records fingering, not rhyme. Therefore, each piano song, different people, different times, different moods, and playing rhythm and rhythm are different. Each play is the improvisation of Fuqin. This is why Qinqin is both fascinating and hard to get acquainted with.

Guqin's collection of piano has a long history. There are famous pianos in the pre-Qin and Han periods. Such as the Chu Qin "species" piano, West Ham Sima Xiangru's "green" piano, the Eastern Han Dynasty Cai Yi's "focus tail" piano. Since the Tang and Song dynasties, the prevailing style of collections has led people to pursue famous pianos and counterfeiting. In modern times, the collection of Guqin research has declined. However, Wumen Suzhou area, the wind of Tibetan music is not broken. When we look at the guqin today, we must judge the authenticity from the aspects of form, craftsmanship, and timbre, and we must also look for evidence from the literature. Guqin is no longer a musical instrument for the interpretation of the present, but a carrier of historical culture and a sustenance of nostalgia. Of course, in the current collection market, it is also a scarce resource for investment. Guqin, which is circulated in the city, has already had a worth of 100 million! However, we must not forget that antiquities are the embodiment of wealth, but also the spiritual sustenance. Guqin is another good medium for investment. She is also a symbol of cultural spirit! We do not need to understand the high mountains, but we need to respect the sages! It is precisely: I Cao Shu is not the son of life, do not make Boya break the piano again!
