"The erhu is one of the most important instruments in Chinese folk music. Meicun's erhu craftsmanship was listed as a Jiangsu province non-material cultural heritage in 2011," Wan Qixing introduced.
Indeed, Meicun has nurtured many craftsmen of the traditional instrument and continues to be one of the great protectors of the music form into the present day.
Liu Xia, a member of Xinwu District Committee and director of Publicity Department, believes the event was an important way of spreading traditional Wu culture.
