 "余音绕梁"的故事，在炎黄子孙的记忆中流传了两千余年。"余音绕梁"所展现出的中华民族关于生活美学的实践与生命境界的思考，彰显了华夏文明崇尚和平、自强不息的精神内核，不仅是炎黄子孙血脉中的精神回响，也使中华民族屹立于世界民族之林。

The story of “Resound Echoes” has been kept alive in the memory of the Chinese people in two millennia. It presents Chinese aesthetic practices and understanding of life’s meaning, highlighting an advocacy for peace and the constant pursuit of a better self, which has remained the spiritual core of the Chinese civilization. Deeply embedded in the blood of the Chinese people, this spirit has also enabled the Chinese nation to thrive among the peoples of the world.

沉浸在“余音绕梁”的山石古琴茅草屋的场景中，本次视频直播将带领观众“穿越”千年，走进充满文化意蕴的美学空间，走入古代文人雅士的内心，通过视、听多重体验，在中国文人的生活场景中，感悟和谐、自然的生活美学观。

Immersed in the scenes of “Resounding Echoes”, featuring a guqin player in a thatched cottage amid nature, this video live-streaming event will take the audience on a journey through history into an aesthetic space with rich cultural connotations. The life scenes of Chinese literati, displayed by both visual and auditory means, will help the audience understand the spiritual world of Chinese literati, which is characterized by the pursuit of harmony and the respect for nature.

古琴作为世界非物质文化遗产，位列于“琴棋书画”四艺之首，不仅是文人雅士修身养性之器，更蕴含着天圆地方等中国独有的哲学意向。以“古琴”作为的核心展演活动，还将融合了多个传统文化元素：香道、陶俑、书法等，让观众能够真正遇见如诗如画的东方意境，触摸东方文明的礼乐文化，感受中国文化的博大精深。

Guqin, as the intangible cultural heritage of the world, ranks first among the four arts, namely,  “guqin, the game of go, calligraphy and painting”. As an instrument of self-cultivation for Chinese literati, guqin also contains China’s unique philosophical orientations, including understandings of the laws of the cosmos. Revolving around “guqin”, the exhibition also incorporated a variety of traditional cultural elements such as incense, pottery figurines, and calligraphy, presenting the audience a stunning view of oriental philosophy, by touching upon the ancient rites and music, an integral part of the profound Chinese culture.

活动现场，在古琴艺术国家级非物质文化遗产项目代表性传承人，本次活动策展人王鹏先生的引领下，嘉宾参观了一号展厅内由钧天坊特制的60余把古琴，其中很多是首次正式亮相的展品；历代琴谱、东汉抚琴陶俑，明代书法家严天池的《赤壁赋》等文物也展现在观众面前，使来宾在领略精湛古琴技艺的同时，感悟和思考与之相关的历史积淀、文化故事。

Representative inheritor of guqin art (national intangible cultural heritage), Mr. Wang Peng was the curator of this event. During the event, he displayed more than 60 guqin made by Jun Tianfang in Art Hall 1. It was the first time for many of them to appear in front of the public. Among the exhibits were also guqin scores of different dynasties, pottery figurines of guqin players in the Eastern Han Dynasty, and “The Red Cliff Ode” by Yan Tianchi, a calligrapher of the Ming Dynasty. In this way, the audience, while enjoying the virtuoso guqin performance, were also intrigued by the historical traditions and stories in relation to guqin.

二号展厅以唐、宋、元、明四把文物古琴为核心，书法、花道、香道也逐一呈现。该展厅内的展陈呈现方式更具多样化，打破了传统的策展模式，将艺术品与互动、体验活动完美结合，拉近了传统文化与观众间的距离。

Art Hall 2 focused on four ancient guqin in Tang, Song, Yuan and Ming Dynasties, and incorporated traditional cultural elements such as calligraphy, flower arrangement and incense lore. Different from the traditional style of curating, the exhibition featured a highly diversified space design which perfectly integrated artworks with interactive experiences, further narrowing the distance between traditional culture and the audience.

“书法”区域尤其吸引嘉宾的驻足。“文人之有砚台，犹美人之有镜也”，砚雕艺术家王耀向现场参观的嘉宾介绍道：“苏东坡曾以家传宝剑换取心爱的砚台，南唐后主李煜被宋军俘虏到汴京时随身只带了一方龙尾水心绿歙砚，米芾更是洋洋洒洒著一《砚史》，留下了米颠夺砚的典故……千余年间历代文人藏砚咏砚的故事，不啻构成了一部中国古人风雅史。”

The “calligraphy” area was particularly attractive. “The inkstone for a scholar is as important as the mirror for a beauty”. Wang Yao, an inkstone carving artist explained the importance of inkstones for Chinese literati to the audience onsite: “Chinese poet Su Dongpo once exchanged his heirloom sword for his favorite inkstone. When Li Yu, the last monarch of the Southern Tang Dynasty, was captured by Song troops and taken to Bianjing, the only thing he brought with him was a green dragon-tail inkstone. Famous calligrapher Mi Fu was known for his love of inkstones. Actually, he once snatched an inkstone from the emperor himself. He even authored a book on the history of inkstones. Stories of scholars collecting inkstones and singing ode to them abound in history, reflecting the refined pursuits of the ancients.”

“余音绕梁”音乐会也在音乐厅举办：不同以往一人一琴的古音音乐呈现，本场音乐会的沉浸式舞美场景致力于打造极致的视听盛宴。演出内容方面，以中国传统乐器古琴为主线，串联起萧、太极、人声、打击乐、大提琴、香道等元素，融合传统与现代多种形式，既有跨越千年的古典曲目，勾勒古代中国的自然与人文，又有现代作品跨界即兴表演，传递古琴艺术的开放与融合。观众在聆听中感受中国文化的美感、力量、灵动与包容。

The event also featured guqin performance in the concert hall. Unlike conventional guqin performances with only one performer, this concert was designed to offer unparalleled audio-visual experience with immersive choreography. With guqin as the main musical instrument, the concert incorporated elements of flute, Taichi, vocal, percussion, cello and incense lore. A variety of traditional and modern art forms were adopted, with classical music pieces that reflect the natural and cultural landscapes of ancient China, as well as improvised cross-over performances of contemporary style, in a bid to convey the openness and inclusiveness of guqin arts. While enjoying the guqin performance, the audience were also intrigued by the beauty, strength, vitality and inclusiveness of Chinese culture.
