Tianqin: The Mysterious Celestial Melody invites readers into the musical heritage of the Zhuang people of Guangxi, southern China. Centered on the tianqin, a traditional plucked instrument, this illustrated volume explores the legends, ceremonies, songs, and stories that give its music meaning. It introduces the instrument's distinctive sound and performance techniques, then follows the artists and community groups bringing tianqin music to new audiences. The book also examines how the tradition is being passed on through schools, research, and cultural programs. Part of the Intangible Cultural Heritage of Guangxi series, this English-language introduction will appeal to readers interested in traditional music, Chinese regional culture, folklore, and living heritage.
