Quick Facts about Chinese Traditional Music Instrumental Guqin
Guqin, known as "Seven-stringed Zither," has a history of over 3,000 years and represents China’s foremost solo musical instrument tradition. It is proclaimed on the Second Representative List of the Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity. This ancient instrument is inseparable from Chinese intellectual history. Guqin playing developed as an elite art form, practiced by noblemen and scholars in intimate settings, and was therefore never intended for public performance. Furthermore, the guqin was one of the four arts – along with calligraphy, painting and an ancient form of chess – those Chinese scholars were expected to master. According to tradition, twenty years of training were required to attain proficiency.
