Chinese traditional culture identifies seven types of circumstances in which one should not play the Gu-qin:

  1. When there is a high wind or heavy rain;
  2. When in a mood of great sorrow;
  3. When one's dress is untidy;
  4. When drunk and crazy;
  5. When one has not burned incense;
  6. When one does not understand music or is in rude surroundings;
  7. When one has not bathed or the place is dirty.
