The Jiaoye style guqin, as the name suggests, is named after its body shape resembling banana leaves. Planting a clump of banana leaves in front of the window can give you a refreshing feeling under the shade, or appreciate the night rain scenery at the banana window, which has a poetic and picturesque atmosphere.
According to "Qin Shi" and "Zunsheng Bajian", the shape of the Jiaoye Qin was first created by Zhu Haihe during the Hongzhi period of the Ming Dynasty, but it is also believed that the Jiaoye Qin was first created by Liu Bowen. If it is later said to be established, it will be over a hundred years earlier than Zhu. Recently, I read Mr. Wu Zhao's article "Hu Ruo Si Jiu Cang Shi Qin Guan Hou" and mentioned that Mr. Hu has a banana leaf qin in his possession, with the words "Made by Zhu Zhiyuan" engraved in the center of the Longchi Nayin. The establishment of this form was advanced to the late Yuan and early Ming dynasties.
In Buddhist scriptures, plantains, bodhi, and lotus flowers often appear and are the most sacred objects that embody the will of the Buddha. Although plantains are secular, they still fully understand the essence of life without substance. The practice of Qin Dao is to remove the layers of packaging, find the heart, and call it seeking the heart. When the heart is bright, it becomes clear, and the Buddha nature can be seen. It is said, "The banana heart has fully unfolded new branches, and the new roll and new heart have already followed.
The banana leaf style is currently the most difficult to make among the known guqin, and it is generally difficult to achieve the desired effect.
Appearance: The banana leaf style guqin is lightweight due to its ups and downs, so not only is it difficult to grasp its size during the production of the qin blank, but also every corner during the gray body and painting process needs to be carefully polished and treated to create a perfect appearance of the banana leaf style guqin;
Qin belly: The banana leaf style guqin is not only more difficult to handle in terms of appearance, but also more difficult to grasp in terms of the treatment of the belly compared to ordinary guqin, because the shape of the abdominal cavity and the appearance are almost the same, and adding sound tests to the detailed treatment of the abdominal cavity delays the production process of the banana leaf style guqin;
Craftsmanship: Complex, taking about three times as much time as other forms of guqin; But once you understand and overcome its difficulties, its sound and various indicators will almost be the perfect piano, which is a reward for your hard work. Like a precious piano, it will become a specialty or a product that relies on fame.
