Art: Exquisite jing hu graces exhibition in Beijing
More than 50 jing hu (Chinese bowed two-stringed instrument) have gone on show at the National Center for the Performing Arts in Beijing. Some of them are more than 100 years old. Jing hu is primarily used in Peking Opera. Small in size yet very high in pitch, it plays a leading role in the accompaniment of the performance. The items are owned by Lou Zhuangdong, a Peking Opera instrument collector from Shanghai. The exhibition runs until March 15.
