"You don't see, the water of the Yellow River comes up from the sky, rushes to the sea and never returns. You don't see it, Gao Tang Mingjing is sad and white-haired, and the morning is like green silk turning into snow at dusk. Life must be happy, don't make the gold bottle empty to the moon. At 10 o'clock in the morning of the same day, Qi Caisu, a child from Qingyun Lane Primary School in Nanjing, recited a poem "Will Enter the Wine" that is still shocking through thousands of years, which opened the curtain for the event.......

"As a representative of traditional Chinese musical instruments, the guqin carries a profound history and culture, and is known as a 'literati musical instrument', occupying an important position in the history of music and culture." According to a volunteer from the Xinye Youth Association of the School of Public Administration of Nanjing Normal University, Nanjing has provided fertile cultural soil for the formation of the Jinling Qin School with its unique cultural atmosphere of the ancient capital of the Six Dynasties. With its unique performance skills and artistic expression, the Jinling Qin School has formed distinctive regional characteristics, especially the elegant and delicate qin music style, which shows the softness and subtlety of Jiangnan culture.

The body of the guqin is usually made of paulownia wood, and its shape is flat and rectangular, with seven strings on it, and the thirteen emblems are also very elaborate. Volunteers told the young reporters that in addition, the choice of high-quality wood is also crucial to the sound of the guqin, and commonly used materials include red sandalwood, sycamore, etc. In the production stage, the fine carving of the body, the lacquering and polishing of the lacquer are inseparable from the traditional manual skills, and each step needs to be carefully polished by craftsmen to ensure the firmness and beauty of the body.

On the same day, in addition to the guqin appreciation, the volunteers also took the young reporters of Modern Express to taste the folk art popular in Sichuan and Chongqing through the wonderful "Chuanjiang Trumpet" repertoire. The rich lyrics, diverse tones, and characteristic language are intertwined, which shocks the young reporters. Yao Huiyang, chairman of the Xinye Youth Association of the School of Public Administration of Nanjing Normal University, said that in the later stage, they will also bring practical activities such as "lacquer fan" and "tie-dye" into the community, so that more children can feel the charm of traditional culture.

Modern Express reporter Li Runbin is 8 years old this year, and on the day of the event, she found her hobby, that is, ancient musical instruments with traditional Chinese culture. "I started learning piano in kindergarten, and now I want to choose some historical and cultural instruments, such as guzheng or guqin," she said. Ms. Li, her mother, said that the reason why she chose the piano was just to let her children get in touch with music and perceive the melodic beauty of the music world. Now that the child has his own goals, as a parent, of course, he should support it.

Xie Lei, Secretary of the Party Committee of Qingdao Road Community, told the Modern Express reporter that they plan to let the children in the jurisdiction understand the breadth and profundity of Chinese culture through a series of courses in four sections: Chinese art, Chinese philosophy, Chinese classics, and Chinese science and technology.
