Shen Caonong - Tsar Teh-yun's teacher

Shen Caonong (1891-1973), was a qin player from Xiaoshan, Zhejiang Province. He lived in Hong Kong in 1941, during which time he taught the art of qin to Tsar Teh-yun. As Tsar Teh-yun recalled, when she studied qin with Shen Caonong, the study of each piece would begin with demonstration and duitan (playing together with the teacher). The score would only be provided after she had familiarised herself with the piece.
