When I watched her presentation, I was very interested in her content. These make me feel very interesting, I also have the idea of using classical instruments to make a piece of music. But these are difficult for me, so I may need to think about something in the future.
Then I searched many projects related to her and found this.
This is my favorite Guqin song. And at the beginning of the semester, I shared the other versions of this music. If I have a chance, I would like to learn Guqin or other Chinese classical instruments. I hope I will focus on these points in the future. Echo Ho gave me more concrete ideas for my future planning.
Ideas for project:
Shen Ren Chang is played by the guqin, and it tells about things related to sacrifice. In ancient China, sacrifice was a very important ritual in which people prayed for protection by offering animals to the gods. Even today China still maintains the tradition of sacrifice, but it is not as complicated as in ancient times. I think it’s a kind of faith and mystery.
Guqin is one of China’s traditional Musical Instruments and sacrificial instruments. It has a history of about 3,000 years and is an intangible cultural heritage. The sound of the guqin is very ethereal, I want to add this instrument to create a mysterious atmosphere.
