Qin music was passed from teacher to student directly, however, some tablature has been
written down, often to preserve the music or as a reference book. Written guqin music did not
directly tell what notes were played; instead, it was written in a tablature detailing tuning, finger
positions, and stroke technique, thus comprising a step by step method and description of
how to play a composition.
