Reference:

I just know a bit more about guqin. The instrument gugin is also named seven- stringed qin(七弦

琴) or sitong(丝桐) This ancient instrument is indispensable in Chinese intellectual history. Guqin

playing was mainly practiced by noblemen and scholars in intimate settings, and was therefore

never intended for public performance. Besides, the guqin was one of the four arts, along with

calligraphy, painting and Go, an ancient form of chess, which Chinese scholars were expected to

master. In 2008 guqin and its music was inscribed on the Representative List of the Intangible

Cultural Heritage of Humanity by UNESCO. Nese Chinese people have a rich tradition of endowing

art forms with spiritual pursuit. One example traditional Chinese paintings of pine, bamboo and

plum, which are called the "Three Friends in Winter" because they all thrive in winter days, just

like friends who cherish the same ideals of welcoming the advent of the spring. Therefore, they

often appear in traditional Chinese paintings. symbolizing the noble characters esteemed and

pursued by Chinese people. Another example is the game of Go which originated in China and is

believed to be the oldest board game continuously played to the present day. Chinese people

believe that playing Go can cultivate one's temperament and build up the character of

perseverance and calmness.
