The Classic of Poetry, the first collection of poems in ancient China, embodies the musical culture dating back to the Zhou Dynasty (c. 11th century-256 BC).
Huaxia Ancient Orchestra of Henan Museum in Central China staged a chime bell concert online using traditional Chinese instruments like the set of bronze bells of Wangsun Gao, and other wind and percussion instruments.
