2020-04-23 Meicun town in Wuxi is famous for erhu, and regarded as the home of the traditional Chinese musical instrument often referred to as the "Chinese fiddle".
2020-04-26 The Moon Reflected in the Second Spring (Erquan Yingyue) is a score of erhu music composed by blind folk musician Hua Yanjun, known colloquially as A Bing, in Wuxi in 1949.
2020-04-26 The erhu is a violin (fiddle) with two strings which, together with zhonghu, gaohu, and sihu, belongs to the "huqin" family of instruments.
2020-04-26 Gu Yue is one of the best-known companies making the instrument in China. And the company - founded by Wan Qixing more than 60 years ago - has a factory in Meicun, which is home to dozens of middle-aged artisans who painstakingly assemble each erhu by hand.
2020-04-26 The posture which players must adopt to play the erhu is the same as that for other kinds of huqin: the left hand holding the fiddle and the right hand holding the bow.
2020-04-26 The erhu was decorated with Liuqing – a type of vibrant green bamboo carving and traditional cultural heritage of Wuxi.
