An ideal architecture or environmental design must come from the heart. When the heart is in tune with nature, the design will be harmonious with its surroundings. When the heart is egotistic or arrogant, the design can be regarded as individual psychic garbage which may erroneously be called Art.

It was the favorite instrument for masters of study and meditation, who saw it as a way to tune the heart.
This music is played by contemporary guqin master Wu Ziying on an instrument dating to the 12th or 13th century, named the Perfectly Harmonized Jade and Pearl Qin. The melodies date from the 3rd to the 17th centuries: Flowing Water - Ancient Moon - Autumn Lake - Landing Geese -Buddhist Chant - Plum Blossoms.
