Shuishan Yu

about

Shuishan Yu (Chinese: 于水山, Yu Shuishan) is a fourth generation Mei’an School guqin player, Professor of Architectural History at the Northeastern University in Boston, and Chair of North America Mei’an Guqin Society. Born in China and learning Chinese instruments since age seven, Yu’s early music education belongs to the rich and dynamic folk traditions of the Shandong Province. He later became a student of Master Wu Ziying, a third generation Mei’an School guqin player who had learned from such renowned 20th century guqin masters as Wang Jiru, Xu Lisun, Wu Jinglue, Zha Fuxi, Sun Zongpeng, and Gu Meigeng. Yu is especially committed to the spread of guqin among non-Chinese speaking communities. His fingering-centered etude writing aims to systematize traditional experience-based guqin education and his composition based on Classical Chinese literatures explores new possibilities of traditional musical vocabulary. Guqin is the symbol of traditional Chinese music and culture. As one of the four noble arts of the literati tradition, it had been widely played since the time of Confucius (551-479 BCE) with a legendary history further back to the time of Fuxi and Huangdi some 5,000 years ago. Most cultural sages and celebrities in Chinese history play guqin, for instance, Cai Yong (133-192) and Su Shi (1036-1101). Millenniums of unbroken development have created a unique system of notation, education, performance, and appreciation, and left hundreds of ancient manuals, over 3,000 t
