You may be familiar with some of ancient Chinese musical instruments called Erhu or Guzheng, but you may not be familiar with some other ancient Chinese music instruments, such as the Hujia.These instruments are gradually dying out because of a lack of attention and preservation for them.But now, a young man in Northeast China's Shenyang City is hoping to change that.
Liu Da was born in Shenyang City, Liaoning Province, China and graduated from Tchaikovsky Music University in Ukraine two years ago, where he majored in piano.But rather than a pianist, Liu is now more like a carpenter for most of the day.And it's all for one thing:to recreate the musical instruments of ancient China.
“In Ukraine, during major festivals, the artists from around the world would dress up in their own traditional clothes and use their own musical instruments to play.I had an opportunity to see a lot of music instruments in these festivals.So I was inspired to present our culture, our music as well, from where I'm from,” Liu said.
Liu Da started to recreate ancient Chinese music instruments after he graduated from university.It usually takes him between six to eight months to make one ancient instrument.Liu Da has even learned the Manchu and Mongolian language, so he could consult historic files to make accurate designs.
During the last two years, he has recreated 23 different kinds of musical instruments from ancient China, some dating back over thousands of years.“This musical instrument is called Hujia, a reed ripe (牧笛).It dates back to 3 000 B.C.It's very old and it has a very interesting history,” Liu Da said.
Liu Da's next plan is to form a band with these 23 instruments to get an authentic flavor for ancient music.

In a world facing increasing conflict and instability, a Chinese Canadian is sending messages of love and peace through his artwork.
William Ho, 60, who arrived in Canada from Hong Kong 42 years ago, teaches Chinese brush painting near Toronto.The United Nations invited Ho to exhibit his art and his masterpiece at its headquarters in New York in 2006, and he then became a UN global partner.Ho has been doing Chinese art and Chinese brush painting for more than 50 years and teaching for over 30.He has more than 3,000 students from around the world.
“I actually started in Western art when I was younger, working in pencil drawing, oil painting, water color, etc.However, after I met Chinese brush painting a couple of years later, my eyes and mind were enlightened,”Ho recalled.Chinese and Western artists should respect, appreciate and learn from each other.Ho said one of his missions (使命) is to bring Chinese culture “back to” the centre stage of the world, as it had been for thousands of years.
So one of the themes in Ho's speeches delivered at UN Headquarters was “position well China, and position well the world”.Ho said that some countries demand special treatment from the world or the international court in the name of democracy (民主) and freedom.“This mentality is sick, selfish and bad.The people of the world and Mother Nature are saying no to the greedy.In fact, the whole world cannot afford these types of demands.We as a global family wouldn't allow this to happen.” Ho said.Contrary to greed, Chinese culture believes that “less is more”.
“Chinese culture has been enlightening the world through our art, literature, philosophy, medicine, technologies in astronomy, navigation and four great inventions,” Ho said.
