Chinese Guqin : Flowing water Guqin 流水 古琴曲

Guqin song "running water" has a long history. In the Ming Dynasty Zhu Quan's "magic secret manual", the caption of "high mountain" and "running water" recorded that "high mountain" and "running water" had only one song. At the beginning, ambition cared about the high mountain and said that benevolent people liked the mountain. Later, ambition cared about the running water and said that wise people liked the water. In the Tang Dynasty, it was divided into two songs, with no number of segments. In the Song Dynasty, it was divided into four segments of "high mountain" and eight segments of "running water". Since then, there have been more than 30 kinds of musical scores published in running water. Their basic content and spirit come down in one continuous line, and they basically maintain the structure of 8 paragraphs. During the period from Xianfeng to Guangxu of the Qing Dynasty, Zhang Kongshan, a Taoist from Qingcheng, a Sichuan pianist, added a paragraph between the original fifth and sixth paragraphs to become the ninth paragraph
In the first paragraph, the whole song starts to flow, which vaguely implies the theme tone of the whole song. 2、 The third paragraph uses overtone to write all kinds of spring sounds of mountains, streams and waterfalls. 4、 The fifth section shows that the spring of thousands of gullies flows out of the mountain and into the flood, and gradually has a turbulent trend. Since the sixth section, the water flows into the vast ocean, and the rapids cross the gorge and beach, forming a momentum of rough waves and surging unstoppable, conveying the character of fearing difficulties and dangers and forging ahead bravely. 7、 The eighth segment is the afterwave after the climax, which is slow and urgent, released and closed from time to time, and gradually calmed down. The ninth paragraph is the finale of the passing weather. This piano song is full of the harmony between man and nature, and exudes the atmosphere of the harmony of nature, earth and people. This song has both lyricism and simulation, the combination of virtual and real, the integration of scenes and the lofty atmosphere.
On August 20, 1977, the Voyager spacecraft launched by NASA into outer space carried a gold-plated record that is said to have been preserved for 1 billion years, including the song "running water" played by Mr. Guan Pinghu, a famous pianist in China.
古琴曲《流水》历史悠久。明代朱权《神奇秘谱》中《高山》、《流水》的题解记载：“《高山》、《流水》二曲本只一曲。初，志在乎高山，言仁者乐山之意。后，志在乎流水，言智者乐水之意。至唐分为两曲，不分段数，至宋分《高山》为四段，《流水》为八段”。此后刊载《流水》的琴谱多达30多种，它们的基本内容和精神一脉相承，也基本保持了8段的结构。清咸丰至光绪年间川派琴家青城道士张孔山在原第五、六段之间加了一段，成为9段
首段，起全曲水流之势，隐约暗示全曲的主题音调。二、三段用泛音写出山涧小溪潺潺、瀑布飞溅的各种泉声。四、五段表现万壑之泉由细流出山汇入洪流，并渐有汹涌之势。自六段起，水流汇入浩瀚汪洋，急流穿峡过滩，形成惊涛骇浪、奔腾难挡的气势，传达了不畏艰险、勇往直前的品格。七、八段为高潮之后的余波，忽缓忽急，时放时收，渐渐平复。第九段以杳渺徐逝的气象终曲。 这首琴曲充满着人与自然的和谐之音，散发了天籁、地籁、人籁相知相合、浑然一体的气象。此曲兼有抒情性和模拟性，虚实结合、情景相融、气象高远。
1977年8月20日，美国宇航局向外太空发射的“旅行者”号宇宙飞船上搭载了一张据称能保存10亿年之久的镀金唱片，其中就有我国著名琴家管平湖先生演奏的《流水》一曲。

In addition to your beautiful eloquent playing, your lighting choices really set the visual mood. The black background, table and your black dress make it look like everything is lit in moonlight and shadows. It really makes the pale wood tones of the guqin stand out like a river (the source of the 'flowing water'), and your white hands fluttering over it like two white cranes, perhaps hunting fish in the river, or like two white moths dancing above it.

Perfect technique with the fingers sliding over the strings. In India we have the Rudra Veena in the north and Veena in the south. In the south there is also another Veena with a slider used called Gotu Vadyam. These styles are so similar. You will do well on an Indian Classical music presentation with your instrument. Only a genius like you can pull it off.

absolutely mind blowing how only a thumb is producing that level of legato sound. usually you only hear that effect if a glass slide is being used

[@kevinsundelin8639]

Less is more is perfectly displayed here. While I don't mind fast playing, I will always appreciate musicians who can display passion and emotion through their playing without "simply" playing quickly. It's like I can hear the musican's mind while they're playing

这首曲子是来自2500年前古代中国的曲子，曲谱被保留了下来，让我们能够听到2500年前的歌曲。 故事是发生在两个关系很紧密的朋友之间，他们是俞伯牙和钟子期， 歌曲是俞伯牙编写的，当俞伯牙用古琴弹奏这首歌曲时，只有钟子期真正听懂了歌曲，俞伯牙很高兴，与钟子期成为深入心灵层面的非常紧密的朋友。 后来钟子期去世了，俞伯牙听闻后很伤心，摔断了古琴，说从此这世界上没有人能够听懂自己的歌曲，他也不会再弹奏了。 从那以后，在中国以“知音”这个词代表两个心里契合的灵魂伴侣。 最近法国总统马克龙访问中国，习近平在中国广州安排了这首歌曲，跟马克龙总统提到了这个故事，预示着中国与法国的友谊。

Gorgeous. The more I learn of the Chinese musical tradition the more I comw to appreciate it. Its a shame that theoretical frameworks outside of 12 tone are barely explored here in the west

[@somno6878]

More ridiculously the 12-tone was even first theorised and calculated by the Chinese...

[@bluesight_]

Hey Brandobin, I agree with you, but aside from some slides and vibrato, the notes/tones being played here are not falling outside of 12-tone theory. This whole song sits within F Major Pentatonic.

Oh wait he's an INDIVIDUAL so he doesn't associate himself with one or the other culture But he's a white guy hating white culture, which is just a coincidence

[@karawethan]

​@@bluesight_To be clear, "12 tone" is not a theoretical framework but rather a tuning system. So yes, contemporary (Han) Chinese music is essentially in 12-tone equal temperament, but the framework (how the music is organized in terms of modes, etc.) is unlike anything in Western music.

First time I see the name of this instrument, although I recognize it’s voice from many Classical Chinese pieces I heard along the years. However, this is by far the most captivating performance I heard, and it really demonstrates how far and wide this instrument would go in the hands of a virtuoso player. Wonderful

[@GoodCitizen-gm1tl]

Some people may mix Guqin and Guzheng up. The difference is that Guqin has a deep sound like the male voices meanwhile Guzheng has a higher-pitched sound like the female voices (but some Guzheng can emulate Guqin sounds as well). In terms of history, Guqin is older than Guzheng (both are very old but Guqin is older). Guzheng has a richer range of keys due to the presence of more strings and later became more commonly sighted than Quqin in the musical scenes of ancient China (After the Song dynasty, Guqin was less commonly played) but it is still a powerful instrument.

[@GoodCitizen-gm1tl]

There are some other ancient Chinese string instruments that didn't pass down to today but was quite prevalent in the ancient time, such as Se and Zhu. This video restored the Se and Zhu back to life along with Guzheng. kzbin.info/www/bejne/fH6zoJeArciHq8Usi=A6tvyRksUwQMLXR6
