when the qin is played, a number of aesthetic elements are involved. the first is musicality. in the second section of "pingsha luoyan", for example, the initial few bars contain a "nao" vibrato followed by a phase of sliding up and down the string, even when the sound has already become inaudible . the average person trained in music may question whether this is really "music". normally, some players would pluck the string very lightly to create a very quiet sound. for some players, this plucking isn't necessary. instead of trying to force a sound out of the string one should allow the natural sounds emit from the strings. some players say that the sliding on the string even when the sound has disappeared is a distinctive feature in qin music. it creates a "space" or "void" in a piece, playing without playing, sound without sound. in fact, when the viewer looks at the player sliding on the string without sounds, the viewer automatically "fills in the notes" with their minds. this creates a connection between player, instrument and listener. this, of course, cannot happen when listening to a recording, as one cannot see the performer. it can also be seen as impractical in recording, as the player would want to convey sound as much as possible towards a third audience. but in fact, there is sound, the sound coming from the fingers sliding on the string. with a really good qin, silk strings, and a perfectly quiet environment, all the tones can be sounded. since the music is more player oriented than listener oriented, and the player knows the music, he/she can hear it even if the sound is not there. with silk strings, the sliding sound might be called the qi or "life force" of the music. the really empty sounds are the pauses between notes. however, if one cannot create a sound that can be heard when sliding on a string, it is generally acceptable to lightly pluck the string to create a very quiet sound.
