Remember a Gentleman's Party —— Comment on Xin Chou's Collection of Paintings and Calligraphy of Chongyang Guqin

It is another Double Ninth Festival, and the chrysanthemums in Shiguyuan are in full bloom.

On the Double Ninth Festival, we held an elegant collection of guqin calligraphy and painting in Zongyang Intangible Cultural Heritage Experience Hall, Chencang Old Street, China Scenic Area.

We invited Li Chaoyang, president of Baoji Guqin Society and founder of Qishan Qinqin Society, and his disciples. Mr. Li's ancestral home is Baoji, and he studied under Li Xiangting, a famous guqin master in Beijing. The name of Qishan Qinshe was given by Teacher Li Xiangting. Qishan Qinshe is located on Binhe Avenue, Gaoxinsi Road, Baoji City, facing the ancient Weihe River with endless soup. Walking into the Qishan piano house, the layout inside is antique, as if crossing back to ancient times and entering Zhuge Caolu. What's even more surprising is that the design and decoration inside were completed by Mr. Li and his disciples.

CheungYueng Intangible Cultural Heritage Experience Hall, located in Chencang Old Street, is also an antique quadrangle with free movable type printing, calligraphy and painting seal cutting rubbings for music learning, and an exhibition of teacher Chao Dayu's works on the second floor. Look at the upcoming Double Ninth Festival. Why don't we make an elegant series together?

The chrysanthemums have been laid, the tea melons have been put in place, and the incense burner is slowly emitting a long fragrance. The dragon root calamus in the deep mountains in the south and the agate stone in the Gobi desert in the north lie quietly in the purple sand plate. It is time. Let's start on time.

Just a layman, a group of talents are perfect. Turn off the phone, no photos, no photos. At the moment, just listen to the piano. The audience was silent, only the piano sounded. Or gentle touch, or passionate playing, or solo, or piano flute. It's really shocking to hear such a wonderful live performance of Guqin at close range for the first time.

Guqin is a musical instrument for gentlemen, a musical instrument for literati, and a piano played by Confucius and Zhuge Liang. People in China say it's a piano in chess, calligraphy and painting. Is a gentleman and aristocrat in Chinese classical music. It is as proud and independent as a gentleman, and doesn't like ensemble, joining in the fun and making noise. Occasionally, the art troupe is just a bosom friend like Xiao.

In the meantime, a friend came and took a photo at the door with his mobile phone. We invited him in to listen to the piano. He came in to listen for a while and then left. Turn around and give us a deep bow after going out. It seems that he has also been sublimated in an instant.

Unfortunately, Daya hasn't done it for a long time, and there are many petty bourgeoisie in the world. Unfortunately, there are too few gentlemen and too many villains. Unfortunately, the spiritual nobility is almost extinct, and material local tyrants are everywhere.

Xu Jin, my college teacher, once had a book called Noble Destiny. The aristocrat he said is a noble with spiritual personality, not a rich and powerful local tyrant. A friend said that there are no nobles now, they are all hooligans!

Today, we quietly listen to Mr. Wang's musical instrument and elegant voice. It seems that the mind has been sublimated.

After listening to Qin, as the host, we invited Mr. Guqin to visit our yard, as well as our movable type printing experience and calligraphy and painting works. Teacher Chao presented painting and calligraphy hanging shafts and hand-painted canvas bags to all the teachers. Then we play the ancient pot throwing game together. What's our pot? Of course, this is a copy.

Good times are always short. Everyone reluctantly said goodbye. Looking forward to the next party, we will get together again.
