Zhuanghe Double-Pipe Music: The Deep Sounds of Southern Liaoning

2026年11月04日 非遗

The double-pipe (shuangguan) is a rare folk instrument of Zhuanghe: two bamboo pipes played together produce a deep, dignified tone.

Playing it demands long breath and precise fingering; today inheritors teach it in schools and communities so the sound carries on.
