Features: The development history of Guqin art, of course, must begin with those distant and almost indistinct ages. The long-standing Guqin music has established a complete system of aesthetics, musical theory, notation, and finger techniques, and has been known as "Qin Dao" and "Qin Xue" throughout history. Qin Xue, profound and extensive in content, has a long and flowing history, representing the traditional Chinese musical culture. The Guqin culture is also a mirror reflecting Chinese philosophy, literary aesthetics, history, and literature. We will introduce the relevant content of Qin Xue from aspects such as Guqin scores, Guqin pieces, Guqin performance, Guqin theories, and Guqin schools. The musical philosophy of Guqin music is a part of traditional Chinese culture and also a part of the aesthetic philosophy of traditional Chinese music.
