Personal experience

Zhao Jiazhen is the inheritor of Guqin art, a national intangible cultural heritage.

1980, Zhao Jiazhen was admitted to the Guqin major of the Folk Music Department of the Central Conservatory of Music. He mainly studied under Mr. Zhang Ziqian, Mr. Gong Yi and Mr. Wu, a famous guqin player in China, for a long time. 1984 graduated with honors and stayed in school to teach.

She learned from other people's strengths, achieved mastery through a comprehensive study and achieved remarkable results. Her performance is both hard and soft, and it is radiant. Her interpretation of music is novel but in line with the statutes, which naturally won Wu Pai's interest. Her Guqin art enjoys a high reputation in the field of traditional music in China, and she has been invited to participate in influential international exchange activities many times. She was once rated as a "world-class performer" by the famous The New York Times.

200 1 In 2002, at the "Concert of World Famous Qin and Famous Music" held in Beijing Zhongshan Concert Hall, three priceless ancient Qin of Tang and Song Dynasties and five Guanelli and Stradivari violins with a value of 200 million gathered in the Forbidden City. The media said that "the world's most expensive violin and guqin, the oldest traditional musical instrument in the world's living music art, the world's most famous violin master and the world's most famous guqin master staged the most wonderful dialogue". This became a major event in the music industry that year.

She recorded guqin music for many movies and TV series, such as Romance of the Three Kingdoms, Dream of Red Mansions, the legendary swordsman, Burning Yuanmingyuan, Poems of Daming Palace, etc. He also recorded several Guqin albums, such as "Qin Art", "Qin Si", "Zhao Jiazhen Guqin Solo Selection", "Guqin Masters", "Elegant Rhyme of Poetry", "A Glimpse of Silk Road", "Colorful Music Rhyme" and "Famous Songs by Famous Artists".

The Qin Song used by Teacher Zhao Jiazhen has a history of 1000 years. On the back of the Qin Dynasty, there is the word "high mountains and flowing water", which was collected by an official of the Qing Dynasty. The 13 emblem on the front of the piano is inlaid with gold. Due to the age, there are many broken lines on the piano body (this is a common feature of precious guqin). Maybe it's because piano collectors can't play. The piano is not wound, but slightly arched in the middle of the body. This piano is a women's piano, which was found in a warehouse by an old-timer in the piano field. Later, Mr Wu Jinglue, a guqin master, bought it.

At that time, few women studied guqin, and even fewer could play it well. Zhao Jiazhen played the violin as a child and began to learn guqin at the age of 14. In high school, she passed the Central Conservatory of Music with excellent results. The guqin she played conquered the invigilator Mr. Wu Jinglue at that time, and Mr. Wu Jinglue passed it on to Zhao Jiazhen. At first, there was a noise in the piano because of the arch, but after half a year, the piano returned to normal and a valuable guqin was revealed. This piano has a heavy bass and a clear treble. The piano exists for those who play it. Through this piano, Mr. Zhao perfectly played a series of guqin songs, many of which have become classics in people's collections.

At the age of 20, Hong Kong Hugo Company published the first guqin tape for Zhao Jiazhen. It is reported that this is the first official publication of Guqin music. This kind of Guqin tape sells well in many countries and becomes a treasure for Guqin lovers.

During the twenty-five years' teaching work, Professor Zhao Jiazhen devoted himself to studying the teaching theory, comprehending many Guqin schools, extracting the essence of each school and applying it to his own teaching system, making special contributions to the specialization, systematization, scientificity, standardization and preciseness of Guqin teaching, and cultivating a large number of excellent professional and amateur students with more than 1,000 disciples, from politicians, entrepreneurs, social elites and foreign friends. Many of them have become contemporary famous guqin performers, professional guqin teachers, guqin theory researchers and promoters.

The professor has recorded several personal guqin albums: Zhao Jiazhen, Zhao Jiazhen, Guqin Master-Ancient Rhyme and Poetry, Qin Art, Qin Si, Zhao Jiazhen Guqin solo selection, A glimpse of Silk Road, Qin Xiao Zen Qu, Song Feng, Qin Xin Symphony-Intellectual Life and Qin. They are all classics that guqin lovers love and collect. Participated in the recording of Three Kingdoms, Colorful Melody, Famous Guqin Player, Black Powder as a Dream, Riverside Scene at Qingming Festival, Leisure Tea >: Guqin CD, Flower Music, Inspirational Heartstrings, Lingge, Yingshanhong, Black and White Scenery, etc. were distributed and sold well in many countries and regions.

Yushan Qin Yun has been handed down from generation to generation —— In memory of Mr. Wu Jinglue, the master of Guqin.

Yushan Qin School: an important school of Chinese guqin named after Yushan in Changshu in the late Ming Dynasty, founded by Yan Tianchi, the son of Yan Ne, the prime minister of Ming Dynasty. Yan is a famous guqin teacher, and once served as the magistrate of Shao Wufu. After resigning, he discussed the art of guqin with people who are good at guqin. Since then, the piano has gained great popularity. Later, he presided over the compilation of the piano score of Songxiange. On the basis of the combination of theory and practice, he put forward the theoretical achievements of Yushan School in the Preface of Songxiange Piano Music, which changed the prejudice of phonology prevailing in the piano field at that time and enhanced the artistic appeal of the sound itself, and was regarded as authentic by the piano field, and Yushan Piano School became famous all over the world. His younger brother and disciple Xu (about 1582- 1662, Ming Ying,No. Qingshan) is of the same ancestry as Yan Tianchi in piano research, and has made further breakthroughs and innovations in piano art and style, compiling Rhubarb Pavilion and Xishan Piano Status, enriching and perfecting Yu's piano research. Since then, Yushan Qin School has become the first one in China with representative figures, music scores, theoretical programs and regional characteristics. From the Ming Dynasty to the Qing Dynasty, there were more than a dozen main scores of Yushan Qin School. Musicians in Hainan tend to rise to the screen, and there is a situation of "returning from the mountains". This school advocates that "the sound must be correct and the stress is light", and its characteristics can be summarized as four words: clear, subtle, light and far. The style of piano music is "light, broad and peaceful", which has always been valued by the history of piano.

Wu Jinglue (1907- 1987, famous pottery, alias Yimou, Changshu native) is the most famous successor of the modern Yushan Qin School. Wu Jinglue devoted his life to the study of guqin art and was good at playing guqin. His performances, such as Xiaoxiang Water Cloud, Plum Blossoms' Three Alleys, Puan Mantra, Fisherman's Questions and Answers, Autumn Wind in Wu Ye, Remembering the Old Friend, and Eighteen Beats of Hu Family, were recorded in 1950s and 1960s, and spread at home and abroad. He has mastered national music and China traditional culture and art, accumulated profound foundation for decades, devoted himself to research and creation, and formed a unique artistic style and characteristics. He has taught Guqin in Changshu and Shanghai successively, and established "Today's Qin Yu Society" as its president. Later, he was hired as a professor of folk music department of Central Conservatory of Music and the president of Beijing Guqin Research Association. Wu Jinglue opened guqin major in Conservatory of Music, compiled guqin teaching materials, and trained a large number of students, many of whom became contemporary famous guqin performers, professional teachers and theoretical researchers. In the long-term performance practice, he also excavated and sorted out nearly 40 pieces of guqin music, created "Victory Exercise" and transplanted and adapted new guqin works such as "Xinjiang Good". He is the author of Qin Xue Textbook, Yushan Hua Qin and Guqin Improvement. It is the first Guqin teaching material used in art colleges from primary school to high school in China.
