What traditional cultural activities does qinxin refer to

Qin Xin refers to one of the four art forms of traditional Chinese culture, namely the ancient art of music, specifically the art of the guqin.

A brief introduction to the guqin is as follows:

The guqin, also known as the yaoqin, yuqin, and seven-stringed qin, is a traditional Chinese plucked-string musical instrument with a history of more than 3,000 years, and belongs to the silk among the eight tones. The guqin has a wide range of tones, a deep sound, and a long aftertaste.

Ancient records show that Fuxi made the qin, and there are legends about Shennong making the qin, Huangdi making the qin, and Tang Yao making the qin; Shun set the qin as a five-stringed instrument, and King Wen added one more string to it, and King Wu added one more string to it as a seven-stringed instrument; it is evident that the Chinese ancient qin culture is of a long and profound history.

There are more than 3,360 pieces of qin music in existence, more than 130 qin scores, and 300 qin songs, and on November 7, 2003, the UNESCO World Heritage Committee declared that the Chinese guqin had been selected as one of the world's intangible cultural heritages, and in 2006, it was included in the list of China's intangible cultural heritages.

Cultural Symbols:

The qin is the most revered musical instrument in ancient Chinese culture, and it is said that "the scholar will not remove the qin and the sepulcher for no reason" and "the left qin and the right book". Ranked as the first of the four arts "qin, chess, calligraphy and painting", it was regarded as the representative of elegance by the literati, and was also the accompanying instrument for the literati when they sang and sang, and has been the necessary knowledge and subject of study for many literati since ancient times.

The story of Bo Ya and Zhong Ziqi, who became soulmates through "high mountains and flowing water", has been passed down to this day; the qin is regarded as a symbol of friendship. The qin has been featured in a large number of poems and writings.

The guqin is the earliest stringed instrument of the Han Dynasty, and is a treasure of Han culture. Zeng Houyi Tomb in Hubei unearthed in kind more than 2,400 years ago, since the Tang and Song dynasties have the guqin fine works of art. There are more than a hundred kinds of zither scores from the North and South Dynasties to the Qing Dynasty, with 3,000 zither songs, and a large number of documents about zither artists, zither theories, zither systems, and zither arts, and the abundance of the survivors is the most important of all Chinese musical instruments.

In ancient times, the qin, chess, calligraphy and painting were known as the four arts, which summarized the traditional culture of the Han people. Throughout the ages, many famous performers have emerged, and they are historical and cultural celebrities who have been celebrated from generation to generation. During the Sui and Tang dynasties, the guqin was also introduced to the East Asian countries, where it has become a part of the traditional culture of these countries. In recent times, it has accompanied the Chinese throughout the world.
