Music, The Flower of Culture.

This GuQin masterpiece, “Flowing Water” by Guan Pinghu

The GuQin, a seven-stringed zither, is China’s oldest stringed instrument, with a history of some 3000 years. Chinese music has a long history, and its essence is best expressed on the guqin. In Imperial China, a well educated scholar was expected to be skilled in four arts:

· Qin (the guqin),
· Qi (the game of Go),
· Shu (calligraphy) and
· Hua (painting).

(excerpts from North America GuQin Association)

It is very commonly confused between Gu Zheng and Gu Qin…. As described above, GuQin is seven-stringed zither, wherelse GuZheng a modern Guqin like instrument with 25 stringed zither.. But my fav is still the sound of GuQin… Listening to it simply takes you back to the ancient times… “Pure, Innocent and Peace”.

I simply love the sound of Guqin, listening to it simply purify your thoughts…. The Music is simply beautiful!

I hope everyone will enjoy it.

Love
