The guqin, a seemingly ordinary musical instrument, actually has a long history and profound cultural heritage. It originated in the Tang Dynasty and has gradually become one of the treasures of Chinese culture after being meticulously crafted by masters of the Song, Yuan, Ming and Qing dynasties.
In 2003, the guqin was listed as the "Oral and Intangible Heritage of Humanity" by UNESCO and became part of the World Cultural Heritage. In 2018, it was inscribed on the Representative List of the Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity.
The shape and structure of the guqin is very unique, it has a long body and a curved back, and the whole gives people a simple and elegant feeling.
Making a guqin requires a very high level of skill, and various parts such as the body, strings, and saddles all need to be carefully polished and matched to make the guqin emit a beautiful tone.
The guqin also has a unique playing technique, which requires both hands to play together, and control the vibration and timbre of the strings through the movements of different parts such as fingers, palms, and wrists.
Playing the guqin requires not only skill, but also mood and emotional support, so the guqin is also a very elegant art.
