Introduction: Guqin,which has a history of
almost 3,000 years in China,is
proclaimed as one of the Ｍasterpieces of the oral and intangible heritage of
humanity by UNESCO. This book offers a comprehensive and challenging
construction of the guqin history theory based on a great deal of primary
historical source and classical Chinese literature. Focusing on guqin, Fan
Yumei argues that guqin，together with poem and calligraphy is an indivisible whole. Otherwise,
comparing with the western music notation, Fan Yumei discusses qinpu (guqin
scores, the ancient Chinese music notation),because of its unique nature and
aesthetics is irreplaceable.
