Guqin Hall
Voices from the Song Dynasty
The Guqin Museum's exhibition includes ancient guqin such as the ancient guqin of the "Fu Xi" and "Shennong" dynasties, and the "Laxia Style". The most eye-catching is an ancient guqin made during the Northern Song Dynasty, which is over a thousand years old and has been valued at more than 100 million yuan. It is the most outstanding musical instrument in this exhibition. The sound of this Song Dynasty guqin is simple, mellow and distant, sad but not fading, subtle but not strong. It has been hidden in the cabinet for a long time and rarely appeared in public places. This exhibition not only appeared mysteriously in Jackie Chan's Environmental Protection Art Museum, but also was played live by the famous contemporary musician Mr. Zhao Jiazhen, recreating the "ancient sound" of the Song Dynasty, which became a highlight of this exhibition.
