[@fushey]

Such a peaceful instrument. I love how much silence is in it

[@bramsrockhopper3377]

4us hey The best comment.

[@JohnSmith008]

Спасибо. Это просто невероятно.

[@henryshoots]

Thank you for your kind words. I'll try to record more when he visits NY again.

[@eshebang]

Dear Mr. Henry, when is he due back in NYC? (Huge thanks for the videos)

[@henryshoots]

Mr Yuan was demonstrating how ancient Qin players might had performed. I don't know anyone else does it. Most likely there are players who sit on the floor that we haven't met... Mr Yuan's Qin is very stable on his lap.

袁先生骨子里有仙气 :)

[@fushey]

Thank you very much for recording this. I feel privileged to see him play

[@yoyeob126]

找不到任何形容词来形容我听您弹琴的感受，我只能默默地摁一个“赞”，然后转发出去让更多的人听到这琴声。

[@Sunny02065]

太陶冶了！希望更多人关注我们国家名族优秀的历史文化遗产！

[@oogalook]

Too much beauty for description. Thanks for posting.

[@henryshoots]

Oogalook thank you!

[@lucycao9128]

I really enjoy his performances, thanks for the post. There is a sort of purity in his performances that's untouchable of non-imitation.

[@BorealisJohnson]

I could watch him play all day, and then some.

[@程小六]

袁老师这弹的太出神入化，听的都远离尘嚣了，好喜欢！

[@Chanchan-pj2mi]

当你玩古琴，我感觉振动运动速度快的不同武术风格的未知在我的脑海。 当我听的样子我已经存在于过去时 帝国，好像我是皇上喜欢古琴造型，我记得爱过处理坚韧的硬质精神金刀，在剑的中间有龙和虎的象征，有东西写在不好意思不给我记住。 ....

如是腾龙图不会配虎跃悬崖图的，自己打自己？

Thanks a lot for your explanation. I'll check the Daoist Gate's store right away =)

What is is wearing is the clothing worn by ordained Daoist priests and nuns. They are traditionally dark blue, white, or black. The top-knot is Daoist in origin as well. We sell the uniforms on our web site, but traditionally they are made by the temple tailor.

看淡名利把名埋，當下一曲會知音，

[@henryshoots]

@Krummablod I will ask him next time I see him. I believe it's actually a Taoist, or similar to, a Taoist hermit's outfit. You can have them made if you can find a Taoist temple.

[@henryshoots]

@Krummablod regarding his outfit, I'll ask Mr Yuan next time our paths cross.

[@Krummablod]

@henryshoots Ok thanks :)

席地而坐，琴斜放腿上，随手抚玩，真高士也

作为一个浮躁的现代人，我喜欢不了古琴曲目，有些过于单调，要很耐得下心来听。即使这样也不一定人人都能理解和欣赏。古琴声音倒是好听。我喜欢琵琶曲目，不管大气磅礴的武曲，还是婉转悠扬的文曲，都不会有过于单调的感觉，也不需要太过刻意耐心下来听，稍用些心思就能理解。

[@henryshoots]

+Liang Zhi 現代是比較難欣賞古琴，但是聽久了以後，發現古琴曲其實是滿感情豐富的，只是表達方法不一樣。琵琶也好，江南絲竹的樂器是比較容易消化。

[@liangzhi4467]

+Henryshoots 今天听了广陵散，多了些变化，倒是挺好听的。广陵散不错。

[@XX-sr8sv]

古琴就是低沉单调的美！而且这种略带沙哑的音色就适合慢慢独自述说。不需要那么多人在一起叽叽喳喳。很适合一个人静静思考的时候作为背景乐，可以让人很快进入状态。

[@zhuyt18]

Liang Zhi 古琴并不是音乐，它是另外一种东西。

古琴是我生命一部分

Sorry I know thatthis is not the subject but...where can I find the same shirt ! I was looking for one like yours and not made by that kind of shiny silk. I prefer far more that folk clothes. Thanks to answer me !

[@ZiaElohka]

Lovely! Is the music just as old as the poem?

[@ZiaElohka]

Yes I thought it would be like this. It is lovely anyway. Thank you for posting!

[@henryshoots]

Opps, I deleted the first comment because the poem was not written during Song Dynasty. For some reason I thought this was another video. This melody/lyric combination was from he Ming Dynasty guqin book "Xilutang" collections [1525]. The actual melody was probably much older, because it was merely "collected," not composed, into the book in the 16th century. The lyric in the song was from yet another older source. Either way, the melody was old, but the lyric is probably older. It is uncommon to have both written at the same time and passed down together.

[@ZiaElohka]

Are the lyrics actually part of the songs of Chu (from the warring states period) or is it a poem inspired by these poems? I recently read something about the songs of Chu and happened upon this video a few days later. So I'm just intrigued :)

[@henryshoots]

I don't believe so. The lyrics sung here were lament of Xiang Yu, written by people many generations after the incident. The song, or songs, of Chu were simply a plot used by the Han side. They made their soldiers sing different traditional Chu songs, supposedly that diminished the Chu soldiers' morale [I don't buy this, but story tellers like dramatic stories]. They were probably just Chu songs from that era [200 BC], and we have no idea what they were. Xiang Yu and about 24 of his bodyguards supposedly cut down hundreds of Han soldiers before they died, I don't see their morale being diminished in anyway, hahaha.

[@ZiaElohka]

I know this is just wikipedia, but ..... the songs of Chu are not just a myth en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chu_Ci

[@zhuyongyun]

古琴不讲究技术好坏 只讲究真情实感 若只关注技术少了感情 那音乐也只是行尸走肉罢了

[@henryshoots]

古琴講究技術意境。“感情“那就不知道了。

[@shuxinli6808]

没有任何一种乐器不讲究技术好坏的。有的乐器技术是巅峰，但古琴来说，技术只是基础。

[@观点反方]

古琴首先是乐器

[@brokeboiishawty1658]

古琴表达的更多是内心
