<p></p> <p><b>New page</b></p><div>[[File:Erhu.jpg|thumb|Erhu]]<br /> '''''Erhu''''', a two-stringed fiddle, is one of the most popular Chinese instruments in the ''[[huqin]]'' family.<br /> <br /> The reform of [[Liu Tianhua]], an early 20th century musician, led to a major leap in [[China]]'s stringed instruments. He invented a new instrument, ''erhu'', and composed 45 etudes for it, elevating it from the level of folk art to musical institutions of higher learning. ''Erhu'' also became a main instrument for playing the melody of [[Peking opera]].<br /> <br /> The well-known music ''Er quan ying yue'' (Two Springs Reflect the Moon) was created by the blind folk artist [[Liu Yanjun]], nicknamed [[A Bing]]. Though he could not see anything of the world, he played his ''erhu'' using his heart and imagination. This melody conjures up a poetic night scene under the moonlight and expresses the composer's desolation and hope.<br /> [[category:music]]</div>
