A brief introduction to jiayaqin Art:

Applicant: Yanji City, Jilin Province

Jiayaqin, also known as "Korean zither", is the most representative plucked stringed musical instrument of the Korean nationality. It is popular in Jilin, Liaoning, Heilongjiang, Inner Mongolia, Hebei and other provinces, especially in Yanbian Korean Autonomous Prefecture.

The sound of Jiaya Qin is soft, deep and looks like a Zheng. According to the Korean Ancient Book "history of the Three Kingdoms", jiayaqin is also made according to the Chinese zither Although the system of jiayaqin is slightly different from that of Zheng, it is probably similar. " Therefore, the birth of Gaya Qin can be traced back at least to the time when Yu Le and Qin defected to King Zhenxing of Silla (42-551) before the existence and extinction of Gaya state. By the end of the 19th century, jiayaqin music had reached its peak, and gradually changed from slow court music to light and lively sandhi. Gaya Qin, which was originally handed down, was changed into Gaya Qin because it was not suitable for playing the fast sound of sandiao. Jiayaqin was also introduced into the Korean inhabited areas of China from Korea in the late 19th century, and was passed on among the people.

Jiayaqin art is a typical representative of Korean traditional music culture. Its shape, production materials, sound quality, timbre, music performance style and performance method all reflect the character connotation of Korean people and fully reflect the historical form of Chinese Korean people's life.

With the progress of society and the innovation of music culture, the vigorous development of the Internet, various forms of culture, art and entertainment continue to appear and enrich, so that the social basis for the survival and development of jiayaqin art has changed. The performance area, performance market and audience of jiayaqin art show a downward trend, and the performance display platform is decreasing, which is in urgent need of protection.
