"This exhibition provides an opportunity for Wuxi to promote erhu culture to travellers across the world and allow more people to have a better understanding of Wu culture."

Meicun began making the instruments in the early 1965 and can currently boast 18 workshops with an annual output close to 40,000 every year. This accounts for nearly 25 percent of China's high-end erhu market.

Wuxi's government plans to develop an erhu focused cultural park to promote the historic culture and to act as a place that regularly hosts erhu events. These efforts will combine industry, culture, and tourism.
