Time with music
Guqin, the 3,000-year-old zither, is closely linked with intellectual history. It was considered one of the four forms of arts being practiced by scholars and noblemen for self-cultivation. The making and performance of guqin embody a humanistic spirit and aesthetic traditions of the Chinese nation. Musical Notes Resonating Since Time Immemorial, an exhibition at the China National Arts and Crafts Museum and China Intangible Cultural Heritage Museum, celebrates the cultural depth of guqin, which today is still performed and entertains many people. It gives a full-fledged introduction of the musical instrument to include its design, manufacturing, handbooks, repertoire and masters. It will run until May 30.
9 am-5 pm, closed on Mondays. 16 Hujing Dong Lu, Chaoyang district, Beijing.
