In the history of music, Guqin Music (seven stringed instrument) inherited the ancient Chinese traditions and continued to develop and reflect the social lifestyle at the time. It was prospered with outstanding achievements during Tang Dynasty. The imperial examination system encouraged literature studies. The flourishing of Guqin music being both "poetic" and "pleasurable" was contributed to ruling party preference. Literati and Guqin player devotion set good examples to make Guqin music popular during Tang. As a result of "Literature System" developments, literati, Chinese poem music and literature shared equal importance. Poems and literature are expressions of literati language and thoughts, to "belong" emotionally. To literati of Tang Dynasty, Guqin not only allowed one to "freely express his emotions", it was even like dialogues between soul mates in daily life.

This heart to heart blend of Guqin string and art could only be felt in a literati''s life during Tang dynasty. Although Tang Dynasty was the prime time of Guqin music, it was not the only era it has been in existence. It continued the past traditions to create the unique Guqin musical style of Tang Dynasty.

Discussions were made on the influences. 2. the "sophisticated and smooth" style of "Qin" and "Guqin music" simultaneously presented the "sound" and "form" of audiovisual art. 3.
