Most people who aren’t Chinese find their traditional music … um … unmusical? I find most asian music a bit … un … well, it’s not me. It’s SOMEONE’s ear-worm, I’m sure. Just not mine.
That’s one of those things we assume, but don’t really know. It could be. And then again, It’s China, so maybe not so much. i wish there was a way of knowing.
When we were in Beijing we visited the Forbidden City, which was of course, the royal residence. While wandering around they had a stage with musical instruments and a group of musicians came out and started to play. It was very interesting because it was so different.
They do a lot of things in China the same way they have (apparently) done them for a very long time. I wouldn’t be surprised to discover that traditional music is relatively unchanged. Relatively.
These are great odd balls this week. Thanks so much Marilyn for playing along. 😀

A thousand years of music? I wonder if they have any lost earworms I might like….

Great combination of Oddball pictures. Those ancient musicians are something to ponder.

I think he is really a remake of the original Teddy Bear, a 100-year redo … but he always LOOKS like a caring bear to me 🙂 Thanks!
