Guqin 古琴 Mr Yuan, Jung-ping performs "Chu Ge" on guqin, 袁中平先生古琴演奏"楚歌"

Dance a dance of Chu for me and I'll sing a song of Chu for you. A Liu Bang, you may have finished Chu's nobility after using a Chu noble to defeat Qin, but you could not resist your roots.

Sorry I know thatthis is not the subject but...where can I find the same shirt ! I was looking for one like yours and not made by that kind of shiny silk. I prefer far more that folk clothes. Thanks to answer me !

@Krummablod I will ask him next time I see him. I believe it's actually a Taoist, or similar to, a Taoist hermit's outfit. You can have them made if you can find a Taoist temple.

@henryshoots Ok thanks :)

@Krummablod regarding his outfit, I'll ask Mr Yuan next time our paths cross.

His qin sounds magnificent!

極高明!

[Shinxou]

Lovely! Much respect to your beautiful technique and great control of atmosphere!

[Qigarden]

So far he is the only person I have seen (at least in YouTube) who can play sitting on the floor and placing qin on his lap and yet so beautifully!! His singing is also very moving. I like to know if anybody else is playing like this.

Mr Yuan was demonstrating how ancient Qin players might had performed. I don't know anyone else does it. Most likely there are players who sit on the floor that we haven't met... Mr Yuan's Qin is very stable on his lap.

@henryshoots

Koreans play their zithers on the laps like this, some players with a short stool, some don't....check out one of my uploaded videos.
