Character experience

Zhu Xi was infatuated with Qin, chess, calligraphy and painting since childhood. Through unremitting efforts, he finally became a generation of Qin player.

Zhu Xi followed Weng shoucang, the successor of Yushan school, to learn Guqin art. He inherited the tradition of Yushan school, which is "remote, broad and peaceful". The style of Guqin music is natural, and its natural and varied performance brings Yushan Guqin style to a new level. Over the past 30 years, we have been persisting in inheriting Guqin in primary and secondary schools. Students have won many awards in Guqin competitions at all levels. Nearly 10 students have been admitted to the central, Shanghai and Tianjin Conservatory of music. He paid attention to social teaching and trained hundreds of Guqin lovers. He published Wuye Qiusheng, Shenmei and Xianzhi LiuNian; he wrote Guyin Zhengzong and other monographs, especially songxianguan Qinpu gouchen and songxianguan Qinpu composition collection, which reappeared the complete style of Yushan Qin school in the past. He has been invited to hold concerts and lectures in Peking University, Nankai and other schools, and to participate in Nanjing Youth Olympic Games and other activities.

In 1979, Zhu Xi's family moved to Changshu. Next door to his house lived a 63 year old man who was usually quiet and mysterious. After careful inquiry, little Zhu Xi was surprised: the old man's name was Weng shoucang, who was born in a famous family in Changshu, and his predecessor Weng Tonghe. In the 1930s, he studied with the famous zither player Mr. Wu JINGLUE. The music he played was simple and elegant, and his finger force was strong, which retained Wu JINGLUE's early Guqin style. He is the only descendant of Yushan Qin school in Changshu. For the first time, when listening to Mr. Weng next door playing piano music at home, Zhu Xi really experienced the feeling of "lingering sound around the beam" and "three days without meat".

Qin was once one of the necessary arts of ancient Chinese literati, led by Qin, chess, calligraphy and painting. The Guqin player Zhu Xi is looking for is beside him. He was so happy that he almost jumped up. "We must learn Guqin!" He showed his ambition to his parents.

At this time, although the "Cultural Revolution" was over, Weng shoucang was still worried. The old man suffered a lot during the cultural revolution because of his poor background and ability to play Guqin. Seeing his neighbor's children coming to see him play the piano, he was both happy and afraid. He was glad that he finally had a bosom friend. What he was afraid of was that someone said that he would poison teenagers with "fengzixiu". What's more, he was afraid that his children would suffer like themselves in the future. Therefore, he only played alone, as if there were no one else. Zhu Xi stood beside him, listening attentively and watching carefully. He stood for a year and a half. Zhu Xi's sincerity and persistence finally moved the stubborn old man and made an exception to accept him as an apprentice.

In 1980, Zhu Xi was admitted to the Physics Department of Nanjing Normal University. At school, he was obviously a bit absent-minded, full of guqin, calligraphy and painting. The abundant Guqin materials in Nanshi library opened his eyes. A Book of the history of Guqin was fascinating to him. He wrote a letter to Xu Jian, the author of the book, a researcher of China Academy of Arts and Guqin writer. He went to Beijing to study Guqin performance and its theory during his vacation.

In order to concentrate on learning guqin, Zhu Xi returned to Changshu and took the initiative to teach in rural middle schools with poor conditions. He took advantage of his spare time to learn Guqin from Mr. Weng shoucang. Fortunately, he got a true biography from Professor Wu JINGLUE of Central Conservatory of music and master of Yushan Guqin school. Later, he studied Guqin from Mr. Gong Yi. Zhu Xi's eclectic and broad-minded performance has made a qualitative leap in the level of Guqin performance art and theoretical research. His performance not only retains the traditional "clear, micro, light, far" style of "Yushan Qin school", but also has the "broad and peaceful" style. He began to attract the attention of domestic counterparts, such as "Hezhen Qin society" in Taiwan, "Jinyu Qin society" in Shanghai, "Wumen Qin society" in Suzhou, and "Jinqin society" in Nanjing They all came to Changshu to exchange Guqin playing skills with him.

Zhu Xi learned calligraphy, painting and chess with his father since childhood. When he was studying in Nanshi, Zhu Xi was the head of the student painting and calligraphy society, and was guided by a group of famous painters and calligraphers such as Lin Sanzhi, Wei Tianchi and Chen Dayu. After returning to Changshu, he was instructed by Huang Yian and Cao Datie.

Zhu Xi's calligraphy inherited from Wei and Jin Dynasties to song, yuan, Ming and Qing Dynasties. Influenced by Wei Tianchi, his running script has a "free and unrestrained style". Talking about the relationship between calligraphy and guqin, Zhu Xi thinks: calligraphy is also essential for Guqin players, because it helps to form a certain realm. To understand and experience with the soul of music, you will get new emotions. Music's timbre, rhythm, melody and texture collide with calligraphy's black and white, rhythm, movement and composition, which makes the flowing sense of music deeply embedded in calligraphy works.

Since 1998, Zhu Xi has twice been invited to hold his own landscape painting exhibition in Yokosuka City, Japan. He is known as "the works of Chinese literati painters" and deeply loved by the Japanese upper class. He was hired as a special painter by Changshu Painting Academy. Nowadays, painting and calligraphy have become his daily cultivation. When he enters his study, the wall is full of painting and calligraphy works, and each work is a static and silent music.

While studying in University, Zhu Xi learned to compose poems from Tang Guizhang, a famous expert in Ci poetry. Since then, he has regarded poetry writing as a compulsory course to improve his writing ability and personal literary accomplishment. Up to now, he has published more than 200 poems in various journals and magazines across the country.

"E'e is determined by mountains" and "Yang Yang is determined by flowing water". With his strong will and unremitting struggle, Zhu Xi strives to realize the pursuit of a traditional Chinese scholar!

Character achievement

In 1987, Zhu Xi was transferred to Changshu college and was responsible for the daily work of the newly restored Yushan Qin society. He also published a number of papers, such as a survey of the origin and evolution of Yushan Qin school and a review of Yan Tianchi. After years of painstaking training, Zhu Xi has composed more than 10 guqin songs, such as running water, Xiaoxiang Shuiyun, Meihua Sannong and Yuqiao Q & A. In 1990, he was invited to attend the first international Guqin exchange meeting in Chengdu, Sichuan Province. His achievements and deeds were recorded in the authoritative journal of that year, the Yearbook of Chinese characters. Since then, CCTV, Hong Kong Phoenix Satellite TV, Oriental satellite TV, Jiangsu Satellite TV, Hubei satellite TV, Shandong satellite TV, Oriental TV and other music channels have introduced him one after another. Zhu Xi has been invited to participate in the north and South zither concert, Jiangnan zither concert, Chinese youth Guqin classic concert performance, and has been highly praised by experts at home and abroad.

After becoming famous, Zhu Xi took it as his duty to spread, popularize and improve Guqin art and cultivate new Guqin talents. With the support and help of relevant departments, he has successively set up children's Guqin training classes (more than 100 people have been trained so far), established Changshu children's Guqin club, set up Guqin lessons in Changshu college, set up Guqin professional college classes in Changshu art school, established Changshu Yushan Qin school art studio, and published the CD of Yushan Qinyun in 2001.

In October 2002, Jizi Aichuan, director of the Intangible Cultural Heritage Office of the United Nations, visited Changshu to investigate the application of Chinese Guqin for "intangible cultural heritage". Zhu Xi conquered this UN official with his exquisite Guqin playing art, profound Guqin knowledge and brilliant Guqin theory, and made great contributions to the smooth inclusion of Chinese Guqin in the "world oral intangible cultural heritage".

In addition to his busy teaching and social activities, Zhu Xi never gave up his academic research. He wrote a 250000 word Monograph Research on Yushan Qin school, which collects his academic research achievements in recent years.
