Abstract: Guqin is the oldest plucked instrument in China and has a long history. Guqin music and Guqin Songs are two distinct art forms that have emerged during the history of the evolution of Guqin. The Guqin Songs not only reflect the development and changes of the Guqin over thousands of years from one side, but are also a remnant of traditional Chinese vocal art. This essay’s goal is to offer historical context for the creation and growth of Chinese Guqin Songs, as well as to highlight the Guqin Songs’ distinctive place in the development of traditional Chinese music and their worth as a stand-alone art form.
