This is an episode of historical development. In ancient times, most scholars could play guqin. However, after the Opium War in the late Qing Dynasty, a large amount of western capital was exported to China, which led to the national musical instruments such as guqin being gradually left out in the cold, and people's thoughts began to westernize. In addition, guqin itself is not very popular, but there are still many masters, and various piano schools have not changed.

However, after the founding of New China, the slogan theme in the Cultural Revolution was "anti-capital", so people who were quite accomplished in art at that time were criticized as "sole proprietorship". Under such circumstances, guqin was gradually abandoned by people, but a few people still insisted.

After the reform and opening up, a large number of western musical instruments poured into China. Because people began to emancipate their minds, they loved western musical instruments very much. Coupled with curiosity, people have learned many western musical instruments. In addition, the volume of western musical instruments is relatively high. For the "lively" and "hawking" sounds in the society at that time, the sound of western musical instruments was recognized by the broad masses of the people because it was suitable for the music rhythm of such a society and had the characteristics of strong communication and popularization. During this period, guqin was on the verge of extinction.

In the later days, due to the "Socialism with Chinese characteristics" theory, the national style has been well developed. However, due to the excessive drawbacks of the "Cultural Revolution" and the "reform and opening up" a few days ago, the broad masses of the people have forgotten the social elements such as the guqin, which has caused the cold situation of learning the piano.
