"Qin·Qiqi·Shu·Hua" were the essential skills of traditional Chinese scholars, as well as their indispensable refined pastimes. Among the four, "Qin" held the highest priority, a thought-provoking idea. At its core, the Guqin is not merely a tool for entertainment and relaxation. It carries the ancient spirit of "Lejiao" (music education), reflects the aesthetic meaning of life embodied by Chinese literati, demonstrates their understanding of the universe and their survival strategies, and showcases their robust spirit of pursuing the Dao while living in the mortal world.
