Meeting 11 July 2020



Introduction

This, the 107th meeting of the London Youlan Qin Society, was held online using Zoom. We were delighted to join forces with two other European qin societies, the Peach Garden Qin Society 桃园琴社 in Germany, headed by Li Xiangting's daughter Li Pengpeng, and the Ning Xin Qin Studio 宁心琴院 in Paris, run by Yang Lining, a student of Li Xiangting. It was the second time our society has held a yaji meeting online, and it enabled many qin friends around the world to join our meeting, from China, Thailand, the USA, Denmark, Ireland as well as the UK, France, Germany. We had a total of 94 attendees. The yaji was also streamed on the Society's Facebook page. This enabled 500 additional people to watch the yaji while it was in progress. Many more views were recorded subsequently.

The meeting began at 1 pm UK time and ended at approximately 5 pm. Cheng Yu, Li Pengpeng and Yang Lining introduced the yaji and welcomed everybody. A specially recorded message had been made by Profesor Li Xiangting as he was unable to join us, and this was played.

The yaji was streamed live on Facebook and is available to view here.

The yaji was very successful and we hope to hold further online yaji meetings in collaboral wih other qin societies around the world.
