Introduction
Classics of Chinese Life: The Condition of Xishan Qin" was written by Xu Shangying, a guqin artist in the late Ming and early Qing dynasties. Xu Shangying, known as Qingshan, was a native of Loudong (now Taicang, Suzhou), and had two martial arts. After the death of the Ming Dynasty, it was renamed Shifan and lived in seclusion in Suzhou Qionglong Mountain. As a folk qin artist, Xu Qingshan's life can no longer be verified clearly, and almost all the information about his life is collected in the preface made by Qian Di, Lu Fu, Xia Pu, Peng Shisheng and others for the "Da Huan Ge Qin Score". According to the inference of Mr. Cai Zhongde's article "The Temptation of Xishan Qin" (*Research, No. 2, 1986, Cai's views quoted below are all from this article), Xu Qingshan's birth and death years were about the tenth year of Wanli (1582) to the first year of Kangxi (1662). In his early years, he traveled with Yan Tianchi, Zhang Weichuan, Shi Pan, Chen Xingyuan and other famous piano scholars, and in the process of studying, he "picked up Yinghua, dethroned and elegant, and named himself his home".
