According to documents, Fuxi (2400-2370 BC) invented the lyre. Both lyre and harp are made of sycamore, which has a cavity and strings. The piano started with five strings, and later it was changed to seven strings; Twenty-five strings According to the number of strings, the size of an instrument is larger than that of a piano. The main difference between harp and harp lies in the different occasions of performance. Piano is used to pluck in front of distinguished guests. The guests didn't speak, just watched and listened to the piano. This is a formal concert occasion. This instrument is used to play background music. Arthur was placed behind the screen, and the guests sat around the console table, chatting and eating while listening to music. This is a social occasion. Of course, the piano and musical instruments can be played together, with the piano in front of the stage and facing the guests; Arthur is behind the stage; The piano is close to the guests; Arthur is far away from the guests; Pianist or master, or beauty; The teacher can be an old man. Before the harp begins to play, there is a drum to indicate guidance. The ancient people invented and used lyre and harp in order to dredge the qi of Yin and Yang and purify people's hearts. Therefore, the harp was invented from 2400 BC to 2370 BC in the capital of Fuxi, which is now Huaiyang City, Henan Province.
Go, according to literature, Yao Shun (2205 BC-2 BC110) invented Go. Weiqi was called "Yi" in ancient times, which means "You throw the ball and I throw it". The name "Go" means "a game of chess in which the victory or defeat is decided by encirclement and anti-encirclement tactics". Weiqi reflects the development history of western Shandong and eastern Henan in the Longshan culture era of the Central Plains. Today, the Huang-Huai-Hai Plain, which is rich, vast and densely populated, was a swamp before 2600 BC, that is, the "great wasteland" mentioned in Shan Hai Jing, and was basically uninhabited. Since 2600 BC, Dawenkou cultural residents have entered this area from the east, Hongshan Culture residents from the north, Yangshao cultural residents from the west and Liangzhu cultural residents from the south. At the beginning of the influx of immigrants from all over the world into the no-man's land, because there were many open spaces, they were basically immersed in the enclosure and there was no conflict between them. Just like at the beginning of the game, both sides grabbed the field. With the increase of immigrants, there is less and less vacant land without owners, and the settlements of various ethnic groups begin to border each other, even crisscross each other, resulting in a complicated situation in which you have me and I have you. In order to consolidate the territory and expand the living space, all ethnic groups have launched a long-term contest between encirclement and anti-encirclement, annexation and anti-annexation, and strength and intelligence. The basic principle of the contest is to win more than less, rely on the advantages of local population, and determine the ownership of people and land by encirclement. This is the basic play of Go. Weiqi is different from chess, and its pieces have no difference in status and status, which is the characteristic of the immigrant world. In today's immigrant country, the United States, there are thousands of immigrants from all over the world every year. These immigrants have different identities, but they are all the same in the United States. The general will wash dishes in restaurants with vendors, because they are all immigrants. Therefore, Weiqi is a simulation of the early history of western Shandong and eastern Henan, a historical memory in the Central Plains culture, and a way to relive the fierce contest of intelligence and strength in the past in the form of entertainment. According to ancient literature, Yao and Shun invented Weiqi to appease the eldest son and Shang Jun. Because of the abdication system, they could not ascend to the throne and play the national history themselves, so they used Weiqi to simulate the evolution of national history to satisfy their own desires. If Yao Shun lived in the place where Weiqi was born, then this place is Linfen City, Shanxi Province today.
Calligraphy is a unique art form in the cultural circle of Chinese characters. Calligraphy was born after the invention of Chinese characters. According to documents, Chinese characters were invented by historian Cang Xie. There are three possible locations for the invention of Chinese characters: Rizhao, Qufu, Xinzheng in Shandong, and Qufu is the most likely one. Therefore, China calligraphy, as an art, is bound to appear in the Central Plains after 2300 BC.
Painting came into being before the invention of writing, or it may appear at the same time as calligraphy (the ancients said that "painting and calligraphy are of the same origin"). The first professional painter mentioned in the literature was Shun Di (2162-2 BC110bc)' s sister, the "gang leader". If "gangster" is regarded as a symbol of the emergence of painting art, then her life may be a little later, 200 years after the invention of Chinese characters. And it's hard to determine where he lives. To sum up, the four major art categories of Qin, Qi, calligraphy and painting were all established in the era of three emperors and five emperors, that is, the Longshan culture era in the Central Plains, and they were all located in the middle and lower reaches of the Yellow River.
