Introduction

This, the 112th meeting of the London Youlan Qin Society, was held online using Zoom. It was the seventh time our society has held a yaji meeting online, and it enabled qin friends around the world to join our meeting.

The meeting began at 1 pm UK time and ended at approximately 4 pm. Cheng Yu introduced the yaji and welcomed everybody. We were delighted to present specially recorded guqin and xiao music and messages for this yaji by qin master Professor Li Fengyun and xiao flute master Professor Wang Jianxin from the Tianjin Conservatory of Music.
