With the unique organization by the hostess of Minhui Tea House Ms. Murong Zigui, serendipity also brought a young newlywed couple, Liao Weihua and Chen Xiaorong, to the party, which also served as their wedding ceremony, giving them an unforgettable moment for their red-letter day. Wearing the Chinese traditional red clothing, the couple who have a fancy for traditional culture such as guqin, read excerpts from “The Book of Songs”, one of the Five Classics of ancient China. All the visitors were touched by such a unique way of celebrating a new marriage.
Besides enjoying breathtaking guqin performances, the enthusiasts also listened to the musicians talk in detail about guqin, a plucked seven-string Chinese musical instrument that has been played since ancient times and has traditionally been favored by scholars as “an instrument of great subtlety and refinement.”
