Liu Lian plans to compose music using bronze chimes

Singer-songwriter Liu Lian and China Daily's "Spotlight" program host Shi Futian visited the Henan Museum, where they experienced ancient musical instruments with the Huaxia Ancient Music Orchestra.

Liu Lian tried playing the bianzhong (bronze chime bells) and recalled that she had once been asked whether musicians with an archaeology background composed using chime bells. After this experience, Liu Lian said she is seriously considering incorporating the sound of chime bells into her music, calling it true Chinese-style music.
