Guest. Geng Wang 王 耕 « Why silk strings »
Abstract: For the past 100 years, silk string making is always at mysterious status. Only pieces of information are reconstructed from antique books and low-quality silk string makers, especially Chinese traditional silk string. The following talk will mainly focus on,
1. Why silk strings?
2. Evidence of historical silk strings worldwide and analysis.
3. Aesthetic change concerning silk string and qin playing.
(On qin making, I’d like to share my view on the concept of silk string qin.)
