Ancient Chinese music has “travelled through time” and is amazing to modern people, thanks to an ancient music orchestra from Zhengzhou, Henan Province.
Since its
21
in 2000, the Huaxia Ancient Music Orchestra of the Henan Museum has reproduced and repaired more than 1,000 ancient Chinese musical
22
. And it has
23
and performed nearly 200 ancient Chinese songs.
With the instruments and scores (总谱), most orchestras
24
perform at any time. However, the Huaxia Ancient Music Orchestra has to make
25
instruments first, as the ancient instruments they need are cultural
26
and cannot be used.
Yuan Jiayin, a musician in the orchestra, often
27
an ancient Chinese folk song on the se, an ancient traditional Chinese musical instrument.
28
it has long been lost in China, Yuan has to do a lot to answer questions about the truth of the instrument. “We try to
29
everything about the se. We also explain
30
we repair and recreate the instrument,” Yuan said.
Besides performing ancient Chinese music, the orchestra is
31
trying other musical styles. For example, by playing pop music and classical music with ancient instruments, it tries to combine the ancient and the
32
, as well as the Chinese and the Western. The orchestra
33
twice a day and three times on holidays at the Henan Museum. Lots of people enjoy it. It plays to a
34
house almost every time. “Culture
35
promotion (提升) to stay alive. We want visitors to learn culture not only through their eyes, but also through their ears,” said Huo Kun, head of the orchestra.
