¡¶Ancient Music¡·
 
 
Brief Introduction£º
    An accidental discovery would shock the world and make history. The discovery of large amount of musical instruments from the tomb made it possible for modern people to hear again the ancient music that went missing for 2400 years. This grand set of bronze bells contains 65 bells and weighs over 2500 kg. Despite its giant scale, its delicate design and beautiful timbre are unparalleled. To everyone's amazement, its musical scale is the same as the world-used C major key today, which means it can be used to play music of all sorts, ancient or modern. Moreover, characters on the bells are believed musical theories of ancient Qin time. The discovery filled a historical blank of Chinese and world music history. When you stand in front of the set of bells, a feeling of pride and awe will arouse spontaneously, the pride for the splendor of ancient Chinese civilization, the awe for the creativity of ancient Chinese people. We must thank this person who passed this musical instrument to us. But what is his identity? Why did he carry with him so many instruments? What message is he trying to convey? Let's find it out together.
