Hu Jian, head of the Chime Bells Orchestra from Central China's Hubei province, presented the most common ancient Chinese musical instruments, including guzheng (a Chinese zither), erhu (a two-stringed bowed instrument) and pipa (a four-stringed plucked instrument), followed by performances with these instruments.
The Chinese intangible cultural heritage week will last until August 5. A series of cultural events will also be held, such as exhibitions on ancient Chinese oracle bone scripts and creative cultural products, talks on Chinese calligraphy and Chinese medicine.
