Music in China has a long history like our country herself. There are big distinctions between traditional Chinese instruments and the instruments all over the world. We almost sustain the regional characteristics of Chinese old style and also add into some fashion elements. So now we can find that the traditional Chinese instruments are playing an very important a role in the world. Owing to its striking features, more and more people all over the world hope to learn more about it.
I like many kinds of music, but traditional Chinese music give me the strongest impression. For my part, although Chinese musics are not more magnificent than America or west musics; However, When you devote yourself into it, you will find there is a stream passing by your heart. That kind of feeling cannot be described by words, but I hope you try.
To be honest, no matter what you want to learn is not an easy thing. When I was 14, I made up my mind to learn GuZheng which is a traditional Chinese instrument. Every week I just learn 50 minutes in a music school, and I must play 2 hours per day to practise it. At first, it was really hard and boring, because I cannot play a whole song, just some boring musical notes once and once again. And the string of GuZheng made my nails hurt so much. After one and a half years, I would prepare for my high school entrance examination, so the time is less and less. Finally, I had to give up my learning of GuZheng and worked hard for my examination. It was really pity.
At any rate, I love traditional Chinese instrument and music, in fact, now I cannot play a whole and long song in GuZheng because of lacking of practise. However, if I had more time and energy when I have a rest, I will continue to practise it. Hope for it.

It is impressive to hear that you can play GUZHENG. Several of my friends also learned it for years and when they play it during the Art Festival in our school, I tried it with one of my friends,and I broke her string. I was so sorry for that~~~Actually, I am jealous of you guys, coz I am an idiot with the instrument. When I was 3 years old, I used to learn electronic organ, and I quit after one month because I thouht the teacher was to strict. After that, I learn violin and I quit too because I felt my neck was painful after I practised. From then on, I was afraid of playing any instruments. I just listen to the others play it.
I want to learn piano and volin, but I have no time and patience,so I give it up. I think you are not only a kind and cute girl, but also a vertifed girl. I hope one day I can hear you play Guzheng,it's be my pleasure.
i am a little surprised by heard you learnt GUZHENG.
Guzheng,in my mind,is one of the strongest symbolic significance of musical instruments. when i hear the sonund of Guzheng,i cannot help thinking of our country. i think you should continue learning it.
when i was 5 years old, i learnt piano, maybe half a year i gave up learning it because the teacher often beat me. my grandpa is into piano, so i have piano and electronic organ, i really really like the sound of piano, but i don't know staff at all. so i just see the screen in the clectronic organ include music fingering photos and then i practice on the piano. it's a little hard for me who doesn't know anything about piano, but i like!
i regret that i gave up learning piano.
good job, Holly!
I haven't thought about this could help others to remind traditional chinese music instruments.
It sounds nice that you can handle GUZHENG;the sound also comfortable.
I had learned electric piano, tell you the truth, I suck at music instruments except leaf whistle.
Ha, I tried to play the violin when I was younger. I learned that I have absolutely NO musical talent at all! I admire the committment you made to guzheng.
I like some of the traditional Chinese music. Some of them brings me many pictures of prospects of nature. That's the difference from the Western music instruments.
Do you have GUZHENG here? I wish you play one day. I admire the people who play music intruments. I have no gift of that. lol
