Guangling School

Yangzhou, Jiangsu is located in the Yangtze River, where the canals are exchanged, with developed transportation, economic and cultural prosperity. Famous painters in the Qing Dynasty gathered here, known as the "Eight Eccentrics of Yangzhou". Li Douyou's "Yangzhou Huafanglu" records the grand occasion of cultural life here. The zithers here are famous and are called Guangling School.

Xu Changyu was a native of Shunzhi in the early Qing Dynasty. His style of playing the piano was similar to that of the Yushan School and was the first of the Guangling School. The Guangling School later achieved great success in the processing and development of traditional piano music, but Xu Changyu was very cautious in treating traditional piano music at that time. He proposed the principle of "the ancient music has incomplete points, which can be deleted but not added". He believed that if "the big music is too long and complicated" is to allow "too much deletion" to be made. He compiled "Qings Score Fingering Method", which was engraved in Xiangshan Hall in early 1702 AD, and later re-engraved in Chengjian Hall, through his three sons

The proofread book is the existing "Chengjiantang Qin Tu". His eldest son Xu Hu, whose courtesy name is Zhou Chen, and his third son Xu Yi, and his courtesy name is Jin Chen. When they were young, they went to Baoguo Temple in Beijing, "held strings and horns, and four seats were intoxicated." At that time, the capital was widely rumored that "two Xus in Jiangnan" was famous. Emperor Kangxi summoned Changchunyuan. Hu and Yi talked several drums." Among the three brothers, Xu Yi achieved the greatest achievements, and his father's zither book editing and publishing was mainly due to him. "Yangzhou Huafanglu" also said: "Xu Xiang is the most important qin learning in Yangzhou." Some people praised his playing with Tang poetry: "A single sound of animals is quiet, and four silent stars are rare."

Important piano scores of the Guangling School include: "Chengjiantang Piano Note" (Xu Changyu), "Wu Zhizhai Piano Note" (Xu Qi), "Ziyuantang Piano Note" (Wu Hong), "Jiao'an Piano Note" (Qin Weihan), "Dry Wood Zen Piano Note" (Shi Kongchen), etc.; representative piano music include "Long Xiang Cao", "Three Piano Notes of Plum Blossoms", "Ping Sand Falling Geese", "Xiaoxiang Water Clouds", "Guangling San" and so on; artistic style: upright, ups and downs, free, and distant.

Mei'an School

The Mei'an School is the latest rising genre, with its origins date back to the Qing Dynasty. The founders were Wang Binlu and Xu Lisun. Although the Mei'an School evolved and transformed from the Zhucheng Qin School in Shandong, from the artistic characteristics of the Qin music, there are many differences between them. Even the Qin music with the same name with basically the same subtle score, its artistic style is obviously different, and its zither theory is also unique. The Qin school quickly spread in the mainland before the 1950s, and soon spread to Hong Kong, Taiwan, the United States and other places after the 1950s. The Mei'an Qin School broke the single "clear, faint and distant" artistic conception of some Qin schools, and based on the overall aesthetic grasp of Chinese traditional music, it absorbed and digested many effective nutrients and elements, especially folk music, including Western music. With its strong charm, unique syntax, and vivid rhythm, it is innovative and unique, and pursues the organic integration of "clear, faint and distant" with distinctive life and people's nature.
