The vast traditional Chinese culture has come from ancient times, containing rich wisdom in life and profound guidance in life philosophy, nourishing the spirit of generation after generation of Chinese people. On June 24th, the palace level Chinese music concert, hosted by Shanghai 21 Culture, was performed twice in a row at the new cultural landmark of Shanghai, "Beyond Space.". The concert, with the theme of "reclusive and leisurely", invited Mr. Du Rusong, the "Jiangnan Flute Master", Ms. Liu Fang, an internationally renowned pipa player, and Mr. Liu Xiyan, a traditional silk stringed guqin inheritor, to perform on stage, attracting more than 500 music and art enthusiasts to attend and appreciate.

At the beginning of the concert, Mr. Liu Xiyan successively performed "Qingxu Yin", "Ping Sha Luo Yan", and "He Ming Jiugao". The gentle breeze enters the strings, dispelling the hustle and bustle. The performance of this inheritor of the stringed guqin is meticulous and precise, instantly making the listeners present both physically and mentally calm.

Mr. Du Rusong, a flute master from Jiangnan, later took the stage. He first played "Youlan" on a double bass flute, and the delicate and graceful sound of the flute slowly entered his heart, arousing the viewer's contemplation of the fragrance of "no orchid in the valley". Subsequently, a solo piece called "Yu Shan Yi Yun" was performed, presenting a pure and clear atmosphere after eliminating the hustle and bustle. In the song "Wild Goose Flying South", listeners can see the charm of the lost ancient musical instrument "Wild Goose Flying Chi" from the Song Dynasty, and feel the sound and rhyme of a flute that is not a flute, but a flute that is not a flute; The ancient song "Cold River Snow" once again brings people into the realm of "seclusion and solitude".

Liu Fang, a pipa performer known as the "Queen of the Pipa" by the media, made her final appearance. She performed "Qinglian Yuefu," "Yi Dance," "Swan," and "Ambush from Ten Sides." Her exquisite and unparalleled performance deeply moved the rich layering and emotions of the music, and in an instant, the power of her fingertips seemed to penetrate heaven and earth, resonating with people. The final song "Ambush from Ten Sides" is grand and long-lasting, pushing the atmosphere of the whole venue to a climax. The listener feels as if they are in the scene of an ancient battlefield, shaking in the ups and downs.

The whole performance ended with endless applause. A listener from Shanghai Conservatory of Music shared, "The main cultural traits that traditional Chinese music brings to people are reflected in a certain sense. These traits are gradually being forgotten by many people and are being awakened to a certain extent today." A new generation of music enthusiasts said, "The plucking of the guqin strings and the opening and closing of the bamboo flute breath are the heavenly sounds that Zhuangsheng calls' large pieces of air '. They are the most direct representation of people's experience of the world, and they are also gifts from the earth."

From Fuxi's creation of the ancient qin to connect heaven and earth, to the ancestors of Hemudu playing the bone whistle and bone flute 7000 years ago; From the chimes of Zeng Houyi during the Warring States period to the musical tale of "meeting a kindred spirit in high mountains and flowing water"; From the elegant music of the Sui Dynasty, which only played the yellow bell in the palace, to the unparalleled elegance of the Tang Dynasty... As a product of the harmonious coexistence between ancient Chinese people and nature, traditional Chinese music has expressed the rhythm and rhythm of heaven and earth with the beauty of harmony. For thousands of years, it has become the cultural foundation of Chinese national music and an indispensable and important component of Chinese culture.

Tomorrow, the 14th Lujiazui Forum will open in Shanghai. Since its establishment 15 years ago, this high-end dialogue and exchange platform in the financial field has become a business card for Shanghai and also a business card for China's finance to go global. An interesting coincidence is that the first Lujiazui Forum started in 2008, when people were concerned about when the global economy could improve and recover under the impact of the financial crisis. And what everyone is more concerned about in this forum is obviously how finance can help global economic recovery after the epidemic. The questions are similar, but the answers are not exactly the same. Every time global financial professionals come to the Lujiazui Forum, they are searching for answers to financial development issues in the real world. Over the past 15 years, some answers have gradually become clear, while others are still being explored. Perhaps this is why the Lujiazui Forum has caught the world's attention
