Guqin is a plucked seven-string Chinese musical instrument of the zither family. Its origin can be traced back to over 4000 years. Guqin is mainly played by the Chinese literatis in ancient time, the most well-known literati Confucius was also a Guqin player, therefore Guqin is not merely an instrument but also a necessity for self-cultivation.
Accompanying playing Guqin, Tea Ceremony is usually used. At a very basic level, tea ceremonies are a formalized way of making tea, in a process which has been refined to yield the best taste. Everyone has a different understanding of tea culture, our guest tea ceremony teacher will bring three kinds of tea and share with you her understanding of tea.
