Poems set to song bring China's ancient lunisolar calendar to life
The 24 Solar Terms, a traditional Chinese calendar that summarizes different seasonal phenomena, have inspired many artists from choreographers, painters to composers. The musical couple, Chinese singer Gong Linna and her husband, German composer Robert Zollitsch, are no exception.
With the help of their friend, Jing Yuanhua, who teaches Chinese language at Renmin University of China, the couple have selected 24 traditional Chinese poems and turned them into 24 songs.
