Miao Yan, curator of the exhibitions, says the exhibitions have helped introduce the culture of kouxian to the world. "In addition to showing the ethnology, folklore and musicology related to jaw harps, the exhibitions have been exploring the artistry and social functions affiliated with this instrument," Miao says.

Kouxian has become an instrument widely performed by people from around the world. An increasing number of young people are using this instrument, which has a history over millennia, to play pop music.
