琴铭 ¦【戬谷罄宜】 苏健刚国画、书法、篆刻展览

“古之良琴，其必存铭。” 因而作为古琴收藏，琴铭如同山水画中的题跋一般，大都是一些精简、优雅的文字，有的是韵文，有的是散文，或刻诗以名指，或记述其得到琴的经历。不论是什么内容，这些琴铭都成为古琴艺术中的一部分，加上历代诗文大家作品、书法家的书法、篆刻家的篆刻，使古琴成为一件集雅乐、诗文、书法为一体的艺术品，而不仅仅是一件普通的乐器，并且一直在时间的洪流中散发着独有的魅力。

将琴铭拓印成拓片以供赏玩，也就形成了另一种的雅趣藏品：琴拓。

此琴为温哥华收藏家陈圣泓先生所藏著名琴家王鹏亲斫，苏健刚老师手书并将其镌刻于琴背，并拓以示之。此琴以小篆题刻琴名“嘉和玉涧”四字。

琴身铭文如下：

“善哉斯器王鹏手斫庚寅仲春杨青之荐得于京华乐惟至正天籁清音玉振韵古犹如幽谷流泉云山迭翠恬澹平和陶冶性灵壬寅腊月大雪如席阳羡陈圣泓谨识于荆谿小筑琴川苏健刚敬书并铭刊于云城扫叶山房。”

看似简单的琴铭，不仅仅是古琴这件乐器的品质，还表达了拥有者自己对理想境界的追求，于是将这些座右铭刻于琴上，时时提醒自己进入到这样的精神境界。一张琴，涵盖了天、地、人的灵气，无论其材质、形制、漆色、断纹还是琴铭，都有很多值得人们把玩和赏鉴的地方。但是作为弹琴者，也应该时时警醒自己，古琴是一件乐器，是一件能将自己的内心世界外放的乐器，无论乐器贵贱与否，都应该以展现古琴曲中的意境和抒发内心所想为初衷。

“A good qin of ancient times must be inscribed.” Therefore, as a collection of qin, its inscriptions are like the writings in traditional Chinese landscape paintings. No matter what the content is, these qin inscriptions have become part of the art of qin. Together with the works of poets and prose masters of all dynasties, the calligraphy, and the seal carvings, qin has become a collection of elegant music, poetry, and calligraphy. Qin themselves are works of art. They not only are an ordinary musical instrument, but also have been exuding a unique charm in the torrent of time.

Making the rubbings of qin inscriptions for enjoyment also has formed another kind of elegant collection: Qin Tuo.

This qin on display was handed down by the famous qin master Wang Peng in the collection of the Vancouver collector Mr. Chen Shenghong. Artist Jiangang Su handwrote the calligraphy and engraved it on the back of the qin. This qin is inscribed with the four characters Jiahe Yujian (嘉和玉涧) in a small seal. The inscription on the body is as follows:

“Such a good instrument was made by Wang Peng himself. In the spring of 2010, this qin was recommended by qin master Mr. Yang Qing in Beijing. The sound of this qin is as crisp as jade pieces bumping each other or the sound of water flowing in the mountains. On a snowy day in winter 2022, Mr. Chen showed me this qin in person. I then inscribed this qin in my Leaf Sweeping Studio.”

The seemingly simple qin inscriptions not only are exemplary of the quality of the qin, but also express the qin owner’s pursuit of the ideal realm, so these mottos are engraved on the qin to remind himself to enter such a spiritual realm from time to time. A qin covers the aura of heaven, earth, and people. No matter its material, shape, colour, pattern or inscription, there are many places that people can play and appreciate it. However, as a qin player, you should always remind yourself that the qin is a musical instrument and that it can express your inner world. No matter whether the instrument is expensive or not, you should show the artistic conception in the qin music and express your feelings.
