One cannt discuss Chinese music withut mentining the guqin, ne f the fur arts—alng with g, calligraphy (书法) and painting. It first appeared ver 3, 000 years ag and stands fr China's sl musical instrument traditin.
At first, the guqin had nly five strings (弦), meaning the five elements (元素) f metal, wd, water, fire and earth. Later, in Zhu Dynasty, King Wen f Zhu added a sixth string fr his sn. King Wu f Zhu, added a seventh string t encurage his army t fight with the Shang.
Ambience was imprtant in playing the guqin. Usually, it was practised in a quiet setting and never fr public perfrmance. Ancient artists enjyed perfrming by a stream in the muntains. The sund f the guqin mixed with the eches (回音) frm the muntains, until the musician felt he was at ne with nature, Playing it in snw was als an enjyable activity fr ancient artists, wh believed the instrument was the purest f its kind in the wrld. Als, a night with mnlight was cnsidered wnderful fr playing the guqin. Wang Wei(701—761), a highly talented man f the Tang Dynasty liked playing it in a bamb frest n nights with mnlight mst.

四、信息还原(共5小题，满分10分)
As we all knw, there are differences between Western culture and Chinese culture. 33 Let's lk at sme wrds abut animals and plants. Mst expressins in Chinese are abut the dg. Fr example, "a hmeless dg" "a mad dg" "a running dg" and "a dg catching a muse" have bad meanings. 34 In English, peple use the dg t describe gd actins. Fr example，"yu are a lucky dg" means yu are a lucky persn. And "every dg has its day" means each persn has gd luck smetimes. T describe a persn's serius illness, they say "sick as a dg". The wrd "dg-tired" means very tired. 35 But in Western culture, "cat" is ften used t describe a wman wh is unkind. There are many ther examples f hw "cat" is used differently as well.
36 Peple think the rse stands fr lve, peace, curage and friendship. And the rse is the natinal flwer f the UK, America and many ther cuntries.
