Records show that the earliest <em>Guqin<\/em> was found in China approximately four thousand years ago and has strong associations to the aristocrats, nobles, royalty, and scholars. According to ancient records, it is said that Confucius (\u5b54\u5b50), was a keen player of the <em>Guqin<\/em>, and extremely fond of it. In ancient China, aristocrats and scholars will need to master the \u201cfour arts\u201d namely <em>Qin<\/em>\uff08\u7434\uff09<em>Qi<\/em>\uff08\u5176\uff09<em>Shu<\/em>\uff08\u4e66\uff09 <em>Hua<\/em>\uff08\u753b\uff09, Qin refers to the <em>Guqin<\/em>, <em>Qi<\/em> refers to Chinese board game of Go, <em>Shu<\/em> refers to literature and calligraphy, and lastly <em>Hua<\/em>, painting. The <em>Guqin<\/em> is ranked first, and it represents the music of the nobles and scholars, as opposed to the folk music enjoyed by common folks in various tea houses and festivities. <em>Guqins<\/em> crafted before the <em>Qing<\/em> Dynasty are often considered as rare antiques and are symbolic cultural objects, and often each piece will cost more than half a million dollars. As such, the status and value of antique Guqin in Chinese culture are comparable to those of antique Italian violins in.

It is then coated with multiple layers a mixture that consists of traditional Chinese lacquer and deer antler powder.

Many have said that <em>Guqin<\/em> music is meditative, and relaxing. The <em>Guqin<\/em> has also one of the widest collections of music scores for any traditional Chinese instrument, and it has its own unique way of notating music.
