Chinese poetry through the guqin:

a practical tool to learn Chinese language and culture

Confucius said: “To educate somebody, you should start with poetry, and finish with music”. The North American Guqin Association (NAGA) has developed a new class series that will combine (融合) poetry and music with guqin study and aims to deepen the appreciation of Chinese poetry and guqin culture through the exploration of guqin songs.

Course description

The classes will consist of lectures and practical sessions (课). Students will not only learn how to play guqin and sing poems by famous poets from different Chinese dynasties such as Farewell to Meng Haoran at Yellow Crane Terrace by Li Bai, but also will learn standard Chinese through these poems. At the end of the

course, students will be able to sing at least five famous Chinese poems while playing guqin, and will have a broad appreciation of Chinese culture.

Time: Sundays 1:00 pm to 3:30 pm, 19/1/24, 26/1/24, 2/2/24, 9/2/24

Before Ed Sheeran became the Grammy-winning and 150 million album-selling Ed Sheeran, he was just another struggling artist. He was playing in small clubs, knocking on doors and being told no over and over again — following a seemingly impossible dream.

But Sheeran decided to take a risk on himself, buying a one-way ticket to Los Angeles in 2010 after booking one gig (特约演奏). Looking for other gigs led to playing on Jamie Foxx’s radio show and to using the recording studio in Foxx’s home for free. And sleeping on Foxx’s couch (长沙发).

“Within a month,” Sheeran said, “of going there, with zero confidence, and ending up in one of the biggest movie stars in the world’s house, recording ... in my mind, I was like, ‘I must have something.’ So, going back to England, I had this charged-up battery ... and started making records, doing tours all over ...”

Staying the course in the face of struggle and rejection (拒绝) is hard.

That’s where Foxx stepped in for Sheeran. “‘You’re great,’” Foxx recalled telling Sheeran. “I said, ‘I know you don’t have anywhere to go, so you can take a rest here.’”

Most people give up in the face of adversity (逆境) — even if they are smarter, better connected, more talented or better funded than you. Success often comes down to perseverance (坚持). You can’t win if you aren’t around at the end.
