Guan Pinghu (管平湖) (March 4, 1897– March 28, 1967), was a leading player of the ''guqin'' (古琴), a Chinese 7-string bridgeless zither. Born in Suzhou, Jiangsu, Guan came from an artistic family, and started to learn the ''guqin'' from his father, Guan Nianci. After the death of his father when he was thirteen, Guan continued with his father’s friend Ye Shimeng and Zhang Xiangtao. He also studied with the leading players of three different schools; Yang Zongji (1865–1933), the leading player in Beijing, the Daoist Qin Heming, and the Buddhist monk Wucheng. Before 1949, Guan did some teaching at the Yenching University, but had most of his meager income from selling paintings and repairing old musical instruments and furniture. In 1952, he became a teacher and assistant researcher at the ''Zhongyang Yinyue Xueyuan'' (Central Conservatory of Music) and a leading force at the ''Beijing Guqin Yanjiuhui'' (Beijing Guqin Research Institute), both in Beijing. He also recreated and performed many pieces, including ''Guangling San'' (《廣陵散》), ''Youlan'' (《碣石調幽蘭》- Secluded Orchid), and ''Hujia Shiba Pai'' (《胡笳十八拍》 – Eighteen Songs of a Nomad Flute), that only existed as notation through a process known as ''dapu'' (打譜).〔(Dapu )〕 These pieces have become part of the core repertory of ''guqin'' music. Though he trained few prominent students, Guan's numerous recordings – notable for their austerity, subtlety, and bold presentation – have exerted wide and continuing influence. In 1977, a recording of "Liu Shui" (流水; Stream), as performed by Guan, was chosen to be included in the Voyager Golden Record, a gold-plated LP recording containing music from around the world, which was sent into outer space by NASA on the Voyager 1 and Voyager 2 spacecraft. It is the longest excerpt included on the disc (lasting seven minutes and 37 seconds) and the only excerpt of Chinese music. == See also == :''Please see:'' References section in the guqin article for a full list of references used in all qin related articles. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Guan Pinghu」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
