Guqin Appreciation and Experiential Activities
On June 13, Ms. Ng Ying Wai, a veteran guqin player who has been practising the instrument for over thirty years, will host two sessions of guqin appreciation and experiential activities for Grade 5 students at the ISF Academy. These activities will allow students to learn about the guqin, the oldest stringed instrument in China, or the “seven-string zither”. The guqin is considered one of the “Four Arts” of the Chinese literati, which also includes Go chess, calligraphy and painting. In 2003, it was inscribed on the Representative List of the Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity by UNESCO.
