Who makes Yangzhou Guqin the best?

Yangzhou Guqin Shanlin Hui did the best.

Yangzhou has a tradition of making guqin since ancient times, and guqin is also one of Yangzhou's urban cultural business cards. Shan, who lives in Lidian Town, Guangling District, Yangzhou City, has been engaged in guqin production for 35 years. The guqin he made has both form and spirit, simple sound quality and pure sound quality.

For guqin, we have seen many beautifully shaped finished products and listened to many flowing ancient songs, but the musicians behind them are often easily overlooked. Musicians give a new meaning to an ordinary piece of wood. From then on, mountains and rivers came from here, and Chun Xue came from here.

"All the lines and radians on the Guqin panel are polished bit by bit with planers, shovels and files." Shan Linwei said that the shape of guqin seems simple, but it is very complicated to make. Xana picked up a Chinese fir piano board, carefully observed its annual ring texture, tapped with his knuckles, and listened to the timbre.

After that, there are hundreds of procedures, such as drawing, setting out, making the piano surface, cutting out the inner cavity, closing the piano, assembling parts, avoiding seams, painting, pushing light, and fitting feet, which take two or three years to complete. The guqin made in this way has the characteristics of wide range, rich timbre and long aftersound, and its sound quality is incomparable to that of modern mechanical piano making.

The meaning of guqin:

Guqin contains rich and profound cultural connotations, and it has been an object that China ancient literati could not put down for thousands of years. Because of its special status, Qin music belongs to a musical form with high cultural attributes in the whole musical structure of China.

The charm of guqin is ethereal, quiet and elegant. To achieve this artistic conception, it requires the piano player to combine the external environment with the inner peace and leisure state of mind, so as to achieve the artistic realm of harmony between heart and people and piano pursued in piano music.
