About Erhu
 The Erhu, also called Nanhu, can be traced back in China's history to more than a thousand years ago. Ancient Chinese called it "Xi Qin" in Tang Dynasty.
Erhu performance focuses on the alt domain, which sounds similar to the human voice with high emotional expression. Every since 1920', erhu began to be performed on the stage. Prior to this, erhu was mainly used for performing folk music or as opera accompaniment.
Outstanding representative works include "Reflection of the Moon", "river water ", "The Sanmen Gorge Capriccio ", "Empty mountain birds", "Horse Pentium", "Great Wall Capriccio", etc.
With the innovation through time, erhu has become one of the most important solo instrument in the band and in large ensembles.
