China's Most Beautiful Music

My friend and colleague, Han, has contributed the following:


Here are a few pieces that I really like:

1. Liangzhu (Butterfly Lovers, violin)


2. Erquan yinyue (Moon Reflected on the Two Springs, Erhu)


3.Sinian (Nostalgia)


The first two are Han Chinese and are very well-known in China, and the third is a Tibetan song that is not among the most well-known in China but extremely beautiful. The singer's name is Yadong, a Tibetan from western Sichuan.
