Traditional Chinese Music
I have been practicing Zheng 箏, a popular traditional music instrument since I was young. As I grew up, I also explored art forms that are more cerebral, such as classical poetry and Qin 琴, a music instrument that is traditionally associated with the literati class. I also studied traditional theatre; including, Kunqu, Yue Opera, and Beijing Opera. These art forms are regarded as encyclopedias of traditional culture.
