Yang Qing, the concert’s art director, sees it as a small step in his music innovation, but a big step for traditional Chinese culture in the new era.

According to Liu Zhen, a member of the Chinese National Academy of Arts, guqin is not boring or stiff, it's transcendental. It's inherently consistent with Kunqu Opera, and these are important parts of our spiritual world.

If you love traditional art and want to spend a meaningful holiday, it might be a good idea to visit the Dajue Temple.
