Heart margin
I don't remember when I began to like Guqin, and I don't know when Guqin began to live in my heart. The impression is that two or three years ago, I may have overheard a Guqin performance of "Three Lane of Plum Blossoms" on the Internet, and I can't put it down any more. Later, I overheard the ethereal and distant guqin music many times. Every time I hear the strings of the guqin, the sweet and comfortable feeling haunts me, and I love the temperament conveyed by the guqin more and more. Finally, one day in 20 17, I recorded my wish of "learning guqin" as a dream in my diary. At that time, I wrote "I hope to have the opportunity to learn guqin and own a guqin", and the seeds of learning guqin were planted in my heart.
Sister Gillian is the matchmaker between me and Taihe Square. 20 1816 October, it was her matchmaking that got me into Taihe Square. At that time, she took me to participate in the twenty-four solar term activities organized by the teacher elder sister and teacher Zhang Jianhua. We had tea and chatted together and ate jiaozi. Sister Gillian and I both brought our children. We exchange guqin and they exchange food.
? Stepping into the glass door of Taihe Square, I feel that it is full of tranquility and peace. The word Taihe Square comes into view. Although I don't understand the meaning, I feel very atmospheric. Match the atmosphere you feel. The portrait of ancestors, exquisite guqin, quietly stayed on the wall, facing our new faces. After the activity, Mr. Zhang played the guqin and read out Mr. Kong's personal profile. Although we have never met before, Mr. Kong's photos show the teacher's elegance and integrity. At that time, he thought that following such a teacher would not lead him astray.
? Sister Gillian told me her plan to learn Guqin and asked me if I was interested. I thought, isn't this one of my dreams listed last year? How did you get here so fast? God, this is a gift for me! Isn't this the best place for me to learn guqin? In addition, Sister Gillian has her own classical temperament, exudes self-confident temperament and joyful energy, which attracts me to decide to learn from her now!
A fairy-like elegant Gillian sister.
Later, Sister Gillian and I started a piano lesson tour every Sunday.
I want to study, even get married and have children, so my daughter always appears with me in Taihe Square in almost every class. When I study, she either paints beside me or makes trouble or sleeps on a bench, which often interferes with my class. Fortunately, teachers are more understanding and tolerant. I tried to control my attention and not be disturbed by my daughter.
In the first three months, I was full of enthusiasm, happiness and interest in learning Guqin. Every etude is as kind as meeting an old friend in a foreign country, and everything goes smoothly. Guqin is so friendly that I can play it without knowing the complicated and boring music theory or the good hand. This is the etude stage, and the teacher praised me for learning fast. Undeniably, the encouragement and recognition of teachers has become one of the driving forces for me to persist in learning in the face of difficulties. For me, who never studied a musical instrument seriously since I was a child, I didn't expect that the first musical instrument I could learn well in my life was Guqin, the oldest musical instrument in China. At that time, there was always a sense of sacredness and superiority caused by narcissism in my heart. I am full of confidence in learning the piano, and my heart is moving forward. I will install some regular guqin music as soon as possible and continue to support the sense of sacredness.
Of course, the mood now is very different from that at the beginning, narcissism has been driven away, and more is to expect myself to calm down and communicate with my guqin attentively. What is sacred or not, let alone a sense of superiority, is a demon. I gradually realized that the process of learning piano is one of the ways to help me cultivate my mind.
Obstacles and bottlenecks
Starting with Laughter from the Sea, I began to study music formally. The first formal music learning process will never be forgotten. When the teacher said that I could learn this song, I felt very excited and fulfilled. With the deepening of practice, the novelty has passed, and repeated practice has honed my patience. I put up with the boredom of practice. Because of my poor psychological quality, I feel that kind of tension when I play ball in class four times a month. Every time I play the piano, my fingers tremble. This is a process of cultivating the mind, cultivating a unified mind and cultivating a normal mind. In the next music, you will encounter all kinds of similar obstacles, in addition, it will increase finger pain, inner pain, and some external interference, such as being too busy and lacking practice time. Every time, we continue to move forward with the mutual encouragement of the group. Therefore, if you can find like-minded people to study with, you will go further.
My first teacher of Guqin is Mr. Zhang Jianhua, who is a great teacher in Taihe Square. I had the privilege of learning guqin from him for seven months. Although I didn't learn from him again, the solid foundation and careful suggestions he brought us were treasured in my heart with that study time.
At that time, our group had no name, but as early as the beginning of study, we formed a tacit understanding. Everyone encourages each other, learns skills, discusses problems and exchanges experiences. The following are photos taken by our group when studying with Mr. Zhang Jianhua.
Sister Gillian, the monitor, is energetic and methodical. She is busy with her career and never forgets to learn the piano. She will be the goddess of ice wine in China in the future.
Sister Dongdong, the representative of Guqin class, is a beautiful girl with big eyes and a fairy temperament.
Sister Kong Lei, a representative figure in music, is capable and steady in temperament, soft in speech and gentle in treating others. When I think of Guqin, I think of her.
I'm Hui Hui. Because I have been practicing yoga for a long time, although I am in poor shape, I was forced to be named as a representative of the body class.
Flowers need green leaves, handsome Bo, a delicate green leaf in our regiment. He is our study committee member, because he has the fastest learning speed and is our pioneer. He always runs ahead and informs us of the bumps ahead. He practices the longest and hardest, and loves to think and ask questions. We can't even compare with it.
Because of the same hobby, we gathered in Taihe Square. The road to learning the piano is bumpy, difficult, painful, shrinking and patient. There are persistence and encouragement. There is company and fun. During my year in Taihe Square, I experienced the ups and downs of learning piano with my good friends in the group. Enjoy and harvest different beautiful scenery together in the wind and rain:
Let's work together to achieve the sudden elegance of A Laughter from the Sea.
Let's slow down and experience the freedom of "fairy couple".
Together, I understand the sadness of saying goodbye to friends in autumn wind poems.
Feel the lingering feeling of "daughter love" together, like crying and complaining about parting.
We enjoyed the quiet and peaceful atmosphere of Good Night Introduction together.
Explore the calmness and calmness of "Wolong Yin" together.
Together, I realized the sad feelings of friends in "Three Stories of Yangguan" about where you will go.
Let's try to understand the joys and sorrows of drunkenness.
Let's experience the lofty and pleasing heart of "cutting tan" with our heart.

At the suggestion of Mr. Kong, the students of Taihefang began to formally set up their own study groups, and found time to share and exchange their learning experiences and learn the Analects of Confucius or other classics after work every week. I couldn't attend because I got off work late, but as the "monitor" of the group, Sister Gillian asked me for a good name of a study group at the first time. This trust and concern moved me! So I followed the idea that learning guqin requires more discussion and communication, and found a poem "incisive as a measure, polished as a mill":
There is an article Feng Wei Qi 'ao in the Book of Songs, which reads "Seeking Qi 'ao" and "Bamboo". There are bandits and gentlemen, such as cutting, cutting, grinding, mourning and mourning. There are bandits and gentlemen, so you can't be embarrassed. There is a green bamboo forest on the sandbar of Qishui Tang Tang. The bamboo forest beside the flowing water is slender and quiet, reflecting the flowing water and singing, giving people an indescribable lofty state of mind, which reminds people of peerless and excellent gentlemen.
The gentleman in the poem refers to men, but I think women can also be gentlemen! Close your eyes and feel that everyone is practicing guqin in the artistic conception of green bamboo, and cultivate a stable and elegant temperament, which is also the feeling of guqin in everyone's heart in our group. Looking down at the whole poem, I feel that choosing "bamboo" is the most straightforward and short expression of meaning. So I named it the study group of my Guqin class.
Up to now, I haven't met a classmate in our group, but we have met. We understand. What is the relationship between acquaintances? Why do you meet again when you know each other? The majestic green bamboo and melodious piano sound brought everyone together.
Recently, I played Sandalwood Cutting, but I couldn't get in or out of it. I was indifferent to the piano for a long time ... But when I thought of Mr. Kong's careful teaching, I felt that I couldn't have a negative teacher's heart: I couldn't just choose kitsch modern music, which sounded good, but vulgar, such as girlish feelings and girlish robbery, and I had to learn to play the song "Gao Gu Yue Xin". Tan cutting is such a tune. Maybe it's because my pursuit is too superficial and I don't have a deep understanding. In class, the teacher took water passing through a gap as an example, which inspired me that water must be filled in the ditch before it can pass, and let me face the difficulty of playing the piano with the mentality of filling the ditch with water. Therefore, we still have to learn to calm down again and keep interactive communication with good friends in the study group in order to go further with you.
Thanks to Taihe Square and Mr. Kong, because without a soul full of profound cultural heritage and a positive energy field created by it, everyone can maintain their love for Guqin. I thank my friends who have the same hobbies as me. I can't make progress without their company.
Quote a sentence from Song Dynasty Cheng's Qin Lun:
Playing the piano like meditation, tempered by years, suddenly realized.
Is it pervasive? It tastes more than enough.
? If you don't realize it, you will find it difficult, but there is no beauty in it.
In the coming new year, I wish you all a little more beauty of guqin in Taihe Square.
At the same time, slow down our pace. For guqin, we need to play one string at a time and experience it one by one. Take your time!
