任务一 ❖❖ [2026广东深圳期末改编]完形填空（10分）
One can’t discuss Chinese music without mentioning the guqin, one of the four arts—along with go, calligraphy (书法) and painting. It first appeared over 3,000 years ago and stands for China’s solo（独奏）musical instrument.
At first, the guqin had only five strings, meaning the five elements of metal, , water, fire and earth. Later, in the Zhou Dynasty, King Wen of Zhou added a string for his son. King Wu of Zhou added a seventh string to encourage his army to fight with the Shang.
Ancient people believed that ambience（环境）was important in playing the guqin. Usually, it was practiced in a quiet setting and never for public . Ancient artists enjoyed performing by a stream（小溪）in the . The sound of the guqin mixed with the echoes（回音）from the mountains, until the musician felt he was at one nature. Playing it in the snow was also an enjoyable activity for ancient artists, who believed the instrument was the purest of its kind in the world. Also, a night with moonlight was wonderful for playing the guqin. Wang Wei (701-761), a highly talented man of the Tang Dynasty, liked playing it in a bamboo forest on nights with moonlight most.
The guqin pieces are usually three to eight minutes long, with the being Guangling Verse, which is 23 minutes long. Other famous pieces include Plum Blossoms in Three Movements, Wild Geese Landing on the Sandbank and Eighteen Songs of a Nomad Flute.
Nowadays, there are only fewer than one thousand well-trained guqin players perhaps no more than fifty living masters. The original number of several thousand pieces has greatly reduced（减少）to only one hundred works by today. So those who keep this art alive. The guqin and its music were added to the list of the Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity（非遗）in 2003.
