The Zhijiang Cultural Center comprises the Zhijiang Branch of the Zhejiang Library, the Zhijiang Branch of the Zhejiang Provincial Museum, the Zhejiang Provincial Intangible Cultural Heritage Museum, and the Zhejiang Literature Museum, all built in the traditional Jiangnan style with white walls and black tiles. Although located a bit far from the city center, it's a hidden gem for families with children, rain or shine. Most exhibitions are free, and you can easily spend a whole day there! The basement level offers a variety of food options, and on weekends, there are often performances of various local operas from Zhejiang Province.

The Zhejiang Provincial Museum's Zhijiang branch is a living encyclopedia of Zhejiang civilization. The museum features a "159" exhibition system: one general history exhibition of Zhejiang, five thematic exhibitions on Zhejiang culture, and nine experiential exhibitions to expand functionality. Ritual artifacts from the Liangzhu Kingdom, swords from the Yue Kingdom, the elegance of the Southern Song Dynasty, and the craftsmanship of the Ming and Qing Dynasties are all presented here, taking you closer to 10,000 years of Zhejiang history. 👍Collection Level: National Museum ✅Main Collections: First and Second Floors: General History Exhibition – 10,000 Years of Zhejiang Organized chronologically, this exhibition presents the most representative cultural relics and civilizational imprints from various historical periods in Zhejiang. Highlights include: "The Qiliting Site in Changxing, Zhejiang, Evidence of Millions of Years of Human History in Zhejiang," "The Wannian Shangshan Culture: The Origin of Rice Agriculture in the World, the World's Earliest Painted Pottery, and China's Earliest Agricultural Settlement," "The Liangzhu Culture: The Emergence of Cities and the Initial Form of a State, and the World's Earliest Water Conservancy System, Evidence of 5,000 Years of Chinese Civilization," and "The Founding of the Communist Party of China in Nanhu, Jiaxing in 1921." Third Floor: Historical and Cultural Exhibition Hall Folklore Hall: The Beauty's Red Dowry—Traditional Wedding Customs and Dowry in the Ningbo-Shaoxing Plain From the mid-Qing Dynasty to the Republic of China period, lavish wedding processions were popular in the Ningbo-Shaoxing Plain. A wide variety of red dowry furniture stretched for miles, known as the "Ten-Mile Red Dowry." This exhibition vividly recreates the wedding scene in the Ningbo-Shaoxing Plain, showcasing the joyous scene of the "bridal sedan chair procession," introducing the folk wedding customs of the Ningbo-Shaoxing region, and the dowry items that have been passed down to this day, depicting the life of a woman awaiting marriage, getting married, and becoming a wife and mother. Fourth Floor: Calligraphy and Painting Exhibitions Original "Dwelling in the Fuchun Mountains: Remaining Mountain" + Digital Scroll (Must See) and Guqin Art Museum 🌟Must-See Treasures: ❤Liangzhu Jade Cong King This is a national treasure among national treasures and a pinnacle symbol of Liangzhu culture. Its massive size and exquisite decorations, with a central circular hole corresponding to the concept of "round heaven" and an outer square outline symbolizing "square earth," perfectly embody the ancient Chinese cosmology of a round heaven and a square earth. Most astonishing are the hair-thin anthropomorphic and animal-face patterns on its surface. How did our ancestors carve such delicate lines 5,000 years ago without metal tools? It remains a mystery. Standing before it, you can directly feel the weight and awe of five thousand years of Chinese civilization. ❤The Sword of King Goujian of Yue A "King's Sword" that still gleams coldly after more than two thousand years. This is the sword of the son of King Goujian of Yue. The blade is inlaid with turquoise, and the bird-and-insect script inscription is clear and powerful. Even the silk binding on the scabbard is perfectly preserved. It not only represents the highest level of bronze casting craftsmanship in the Wu and Yue regions, but also seems like a spiritual symbol of an ancient warrior; even through the glass, one can feel its sharp edge and domineering aura. ❤Republic of China Era Craftsmanship Sedan Chair This is undoubtedly the most "lively" and eye-catching treasure in the exhibition hall, a masterpiece of late Qing Dynasty and early Republic of China wood carving craftsmanship. Known as the "Number One Sedan Chair in the World," it is constructed from thousands of components joined together using mortise and tenon joints. The entire chair is covered with carvings of figures, dragons, phoenixes, flowers, and birds, depicting hundreds of figures with diverse expressions. Imagine the grand and solemn scene of an ancient bride sitting in such a magnificent, miniature palace-like sedan chair—every stroke of the knife is imbued with the joy and auspiciousness of bygone eras. ❤Gilded Silver Ashoka Stupa This is a sacred object from the Five Dynasties period of the Wuyue Kingdom, and a physical testament to the practice of burying Buddha's relics. It is entirely made of hammered and gilded silver, with a solemn and beautiful design. The exquisite reliefs on the stupa fully depict the Jataka tales of the Buddha. Inside, a golden coffin once housed Buddha's bone relics. Touching its texture, one can almost hear the lingering echoes of a thousand years of Buddhist teachings, inspiring a solemn sense of awe. ❤ *Dwelling in the Fuchun Mountains - Remaining Mountain* This is a unique masterpiece that has captivated the art world, a celebrated story in the history of painting and calligraphy. Originally a long scroll painted by Huang Gongwang in his later years, it was tragically destroyed by fire, splitting in two. The section of "Remaining Mountain" presented before you today, though only a corner of the entire scroll, uses minimalist brushstrokes to perfectly capture the tranquility, vastness, and serenity of the banks of the Fuchun River. Standing before the painting, one can almost hear the flowing river and feel the transcendent peace and serenity of the painter's later years, a place where he found solace in nature. ❤ Tang Dynasty Qin (Colorful Phoenix Singing in Qishan) This is a unique Tang Dynasty qin with a history of 1300 years, universally recognized as a peerless masterpiece. Made by the Tang Dynasty qin master Lei Wei, its body is simple and elegant, its surface covered with "ice crackle" patterns resembling the marks of time. Even more precious is the inscription inside the instrument, a testament to its thousand-year history. When fingertips brush the strings, the clear, resonant tone, like metal and stone, seems to transport you back to the glorious Tang Dynasty, captivating the senses. ❤ "Two Birds Facing the Sun" Ivory Carving This iconic national treasure of the Hemudu Culture captures the romantic imagination of our ancestors 7,000 years ago. It is a butterfly-shaped piece carved from ivory, with a five-concentric circle "sunrise" carved in the center, flanked by two birds with heads held high and wings outstretched. The lines are fluid, the polished surface glossy, and the composition symmetrical yet full of vitality. This is not only a beautiful work of art, but also an ancient totem epic, inspiring awe at the remarkable wisdom and yearning for light of our ancient ancestors. 🕙Opening Hours: Closed on Mondays.

I visited Muyin Tea House on Zhijiang Road. There's a small courtyard at the entrance, surrounded by a bamboo fence, decorated with potted plants and stone bowls—it has a lively, lived-in feel. Stepping inside, the cement walls paired with bamboo blinds and wooden beams, along with the driftwood landscaping and calligraphy, create a quiet and elegant space. This time I tried ripe Pu'er tea. The tea soup was bright red, mellow on the palate, and the aged aroma slowly unfolded. It was so comforting. I found a quiet corner with oranges and snacks on the table. Sipping tea and munching on treats—no rush—made me feel completely relaxed. It was perfect for a lazy break.

Follow Shang Wenjie to check in at the Zhejiang Printmaking Institute, known as the "Louvre of Hangzhou." It is very close to the Quanshan Stone Art Center, BAC Art District, and Zhijiang Cultural Center, making it a new cultural landmark in Zhuantang. The glass pyramid shape, paired with the rooftop greenery, makes for great photos and is a modern reinterpretation of the West Lake landscape's artistic conception. You can book on-site via the mini-program, and the nearest subway station is Fenghua West Road Station. On rainy afternoons, there are fewer visitors, and the museum closes at 4 PM. Be sure to allow enough time! The exhibition hall is underground, showcasing over 300 authentic works by famous artists from China and abroad, truly a visual feast. For example, Wu Guanzhong, Zao Wou-Ki, Alphonse Mucha, Picasso, Rodin, Dürer, Dalí, Andy Warhol, Morandi, Rembrandt, Corot... Many works are reflective; some impressive pieces include Wu Guanzhong's "Three Beauties," Zhu Dequn's "Elegance," and Chagall's color lithographs. In the final hall, "Civilization Mutual Learning," my favorite is Ying Jinfei's watermark woodcut "Legend of the White Snake"...

Amid the mountains and waters surrounding Hangzhou lies a hidden gem that invites repeated visits—Jiande. This small city in western Zhejiang is just an hour by high-speed train or two hours by car from Hangzhou, free from the crowds of popular tourist spots yet offering beautiful scenes throughout the seasons. In spring, pick strawberries and enjoy cherry blossoms; in summer, escape the heat at Xin’an River; in autumn, admire ginkgo trees and stroll through ancient villages. Especially in autumn, Jiande is a masterpiece of colorful forests and tranquil ancient villages, where every snapshot is a soothing landscape, making it the ultimate destination for trips around Jiangsu, Zhejiang, and Shanghai. Stepping into Jiande feels like entering a flowing pastoral painting. Its beauty is hidden in every lesser-known secret spot, where you don’t need to rush your itinerary—just wander slowly and you’ll encounter unexpected delights. Autumn in Jiande is breathtaking, with golden hills blending with layers of green, white walls and black tiles of ancient villages framed by fallen ginkgo leaves, and the mist of Xin’an River curling around verdant mountains. Every scene exudes gentle autumn vibes, inviting you to slow down and immerse yourself in this unique tranquility and beauty. Daci Rock is an absolute must-visit in Jiande during autumn. Here lies a natural wonder where “the mountain is a Buddha, and the Buddha is a mountain.” Pavilions and towers are staggered atop cliffs, earning it the nickname “the Hanging Temple of Jiangnan.” It was also a filming location for the TV series “Joy of Life.” Standing on the hanging plank road, layered mountains lie beneath your feet and ancient buildings hang in the air before your eyes, creating a breathtaking sensation. The twin-faced Buddha built into the mountain is majestic, and there is a 700-year-old ancient ginkgo tree that turns golden in autumn. Fallen leaves carpet the ground, and walking on the golden leaves fills the atmosphere with warmth. You can take the cable car to enjoy the scenery easily or hike up the mountain to encounter splendid autumn views along the way, each with its own charm. Xin’an River is the soul of Jiande, with clear water flowing through the city and green mountains reflecting in the water on both sides, resembling an expressive landscape painting. The Jiande section of Xin’an River is famous for its “clear water and mystical mist,” especially in Zhijiang Village and Xiaya Village. At dawn or dusk, river mist rises, shrouding the water in a thin veil, with boats appearing faintly through the fog. The distant mountains and nearby waters are covered in a hazy beauty, like a fairyland. Every photo taken here is atmospheric and cinematic. In autumn, the river breeze carries the scent of osmanthus, adding to the comfort. Yanzhou Ancient City holds Jiande’s cultural heritage. Facing Xin’an River and backed by Wulong Mountain, its mountain-and-water layout gives the ancient city a poetic charm. Winding bluestone paths and scattered ancient buildings blend historical flavor with everyday life. Within the ancient city, Meicheng Ancient Town is a treasure, featuring exciting folk performances and countless authentic local snacks like spicy tofu buns, soft corn cakes, and crispy Yanzhou baked pancakes. Every bite tastes like Jiande, making for a delightful day of eating and exploring. For those who prefer a quiet escape, Yuquan Temple, Xinye Ancient Village, and Jiuxing Fishing Village are must-visits. Yuquan Temple is hidden deep in Wulong Mountain, surrounded by towering ancient trees and filled with Zen tranquility. The mountain trails are gentle and easy to hike, perfect for a weekend stroll to hear morning bells and evening drums and admire the ancient trees, offering healing for body and soul. Xinye Ancient Village, a filming location for “Where Are We Going, Dad?”, is an authentic Hui-style ancient village without over-commercialization. It preserves 16 ancestral halls and over 200 Ming and Qing dynasty residences. Ancient wells, alleys, and old houses hold stories of time, and wandering here feels like stepping into a forgotten ink painting. Jiuxing Fishing Village is a lesser-known secret by Xin’an River, built along the river with few people and peaceful surroundings. On sunny days, watch the sunset over the river, with orange-red clouds spreading across the water, creating a gentle and romantic scene. Transportation to Jiande is especially convenient. It’s just a 2-hour drive or a 1-hour high-speed train ride from Hangzhou, and easily accessible from cities like Shanghai and Suzhou in the Jiangsu-Zhejiang-Shanghai region. Whether for a weekend getaway or a two-day deep dive, Jiande is a perfect fit. The charm of this small city lies in its year-round scenery, its uncrowded nature, and the perfect blend of mountains, waters, and culture. In Jiande, there’s no rush, only pure natural beauty and vibrant local life. Autumn in Jiande means golden ginkgo trees, misty river scenes, and tranquil ancient villages. Take advantage of the beautiful autumn days to visit this hidden treasure in western Zhejiang, encounter a gentle autumn beauty, and give your soul a holiday. This lesser-known journey will surely become an unforgettable memory in your heart.

And that warm cup of tea at the end is the best reward for the whole family.

When Hangzhou enters deep winter, the red maples of Jiuxi Yanshu reach their final and often most intense peak. The creek flows gently, the leaves of maples and Japanese maple trees turn red or yellow, contrasting with the evergreen tea gardens and moss, creating a richly layered and colorful oil painting. This is an extremely classic and easy parent-child hiking route for sightseeing. 🍂 Best Viewing Period and Route Highlights: Time: Usually from late November to mid-to-late December, depending on temperature. After a cold front, the colors may be even more vivid. It is recommended to check "Jiuxi Red Maple Live" on Xiaohongshu before your trip. Core Route: Start from Jiuxi Bus Station and walk along the main road to the Jiuxi Yanshu scenic spot. This is the most essential section, about 1.5 kilometers, with flat roads suitable for strollers. The creek accompanies you along the way, with maple trees lining the path. Photo Hotspots: Beside the Jiuxi Yanshu pond: Classic pavilion, waterfall, and red maple reflections are all here, and it’s also the most crowded spot. Try to visit on weekday mornings. Creekside stone piers and stone bridges: Use the creek as the foreground to capture kids crossing bridges or playing in the water. Maple trees by the tea fields: The contrast between red maples and green tea gardens is very photogenic. Upgraded Parent-Child Activities: Stepping on stone piers across the water: The creek water is shallow and cold in winter. Under safety conditions (non-slip, shallow water), let kids experience the fun of stepping on stone piers to cross the creek—this is the most exciting part of the trip. Collecting color specimens: Prepare a transparent folder to collect fallen leaves of different colors and shapes to make leaf specimens. Searching for moss and mushrooms: Winter is moist, stones are covered with moss, and small mushrooms may grow in the forest. Guide kids to observe these closely. 🏡 Accommodation Recommendations (Boutique Homestays Around Jiuxi): “Hangzhou Millennium Resort Hotel”: Located near the entrance of Jiuxi Scenic Area, surrounded by vast forests and tea gardens, it is a scenic spot itself. The hotel rooms are spacious, some with balconies facing the mountains and forests. Facilities include a kids’ club and indoor swimming pool. The biggest advantage is the location, allowing you to enjoy the tranquility after the crowds disperse in the morning and evening, with easy access to Jiuxi for strolls anytime. “Hangzhou Liujia Hotel”: Located on Zhijiang Road, close to Jiuxi and Songcheng, this is a stylish boutique homestay, small and beautiful, with friendly service. 🚶 Flexible Route Combinations: Easy Version (Jiuxi only): Jiuxi Road entrance → stroll to Jiuxi Yanshu → return the same way or take the scenic shuttle bus (8 RMB/person) back to the entrance. The whole trip takes about 2-3 hours. Classic Version (Jiuxi-Longjing Village Traverse): Jiuxi Road entrance → Jiuxi Yanshu → continue uphill to Liansi Temple → Yangmeiling Village → Longjing Village. About 4-5 kilometers with some uphill, suitable for families with moderate fitness. After tea and meals in Longjing Village, you can take a bus or taxi back. Extended Version: Combine with the China National Tea Museum (Shuangfeng Pavilion) or Hangzhou Zoo for a full day. 🍜 Energy Refueling Spots: There are only a few small shops inside Jiuxi Scenic Area, so it’s recommended to bring your own water and snacks. Lunch can be enjoyed at the end of the route in Longjing Village, Yangmeiling Village, or along Zhijiang Road, where you can taste farmhouse dishes. This is a sensory feast route. Colors, water sounds, tea fragrance, fresh air... engage all your child’s senses to feel the beauty of nature. Easy and not tiring, yet rewarding—this is the best choice for a winter parent-child trip in Hangzhou.

Enjoy the maple leaves without the crowds! Meiling South Road runs from south to north, connecting Zhijiang Road, Liuhe Pagoda, Jiuxi Yanshu, Yunqi Zhuling, Shili Langdang, and Faxisi Fajingsi. The entire route is filled with stunning maple leaves, now at their peak viewing season!

How can you visit Hangzhou without seeing the "Beauty Outside the Window"? I’m really impressed with Liuhe Pagoda Cultural Park—every casual shot turns out to be a beautiful check-in photo. This time, I even ran into a young lady in a red dress standing by a wooden window—absolutely stunning! 📍Liuhe Pagoda Cultural Park Address: No. 16 Zhijiang Road, Xihu District, Hangzhou Opening Hours: Daily 7:00 AM - 5:30 PM (last entry at 4:55 PM) I have to say, this spot known as the "Hangzhou Beauty Harvester" truly lives up to its name! That day, seeing the lady in the red dress standing in front of the wooden window with golden autumn leaves behind her was simply breathtaking~ ➡️Tips for visiting: ✔️The best photo spot is the small square in front of the pagoda; bringing a telephoto lens can capture incredibly beautiful scenes ✔️The light between 3-5 PM is perfect for shooting, especially in autumn and winter when the sunlight slants beautifully ✔️Wearing a solid color long dress for photos really makes the shots pop!

Because the Xixing Bridge is being demolished and rebuilt, Hangzhou has opened a ferry from the Olympic Sports Center to the City Balcony! 🚢 And it’s actually free🆓!! The people of Hangzhou are truly blessed! 😭 You must go experience it once 🥳 Currently, the ferry is only open to non-motorized vehicles, so you need to ride an electric scooter🛵 or bicycle🚲 to board. If you want to try it, you can scan a shared bike in advance to get there. The ferry ticket is free🆓, but you need to scan the Alipay public transit code at the dock. We arrived at the Olympic Sports Center dock around 3:50 PM, and quite a few people were already in line. Due to tidal weather conditions, the ferry didn’t depart until 4:50 PM, just in time for the sunset🌅. The shimmering river view under the setting sun was truly beautiful! 🥰 🚢 Ferry operating hours: 6:30 AM - 6:30 PM (15 minutes per trip during peak hours, 30 minutes per trip during off-peak) ⚠️ Each trip can only carry 50 vehicles; if full, you must wait for the next trip. 🕙 Trip duration: 15-20 minutes 📍 Dock locations: City Balcony Dock (intersection of Zhijiang Road and Qingchun Road) Olympic Sports Center Dock (intersection of Wentao Road and Feihong Road) ❗️❗️ Tips: 1. There are few shared bikes near the docks, so it’s recommended to find a bike in advance during weekend peak times; 2. If you want to photograph the sunset, it’s best to line up early to catch the 4:30 PM trip, which is the best; 3. Departure times may be adjusted temporarily based on tidal weather conditions. Please see the last picture for ferry riding instructions!

Qiantang River Bridge, known as the "Strong Bridge" designed under the leadership of Mr. Mao Yisheng, is an excellent landmark where Hangzhou's history and modernity blend. Below is an in-depth City Walk guide combined with 10 photos to help you unlock the historical charm and natural beauty by the riverside. 1. Route Planning: From Historical Landmarks to Riverside Secrets Start: Qiantang River Bridge Memorial Hall → Qiantang River Bridge (walk across the bridge) → Liuhe Pagoda Cultural Park → Zhijiang Road Riverside Greenway → Return: Overlook the full view of the river and bridge from Liuhe Pagoda 2. Detailed Attractions: Understand every scene through the pictures 1. Qiantang River Bridge: The Hardcore Romance of Industrial Heritage Highlights: The steel truss structure in photo 1 and the "Qiantang River Bridge Story" inscription in photo 6 tell its legend. This bridge is China’s first self-designed double-deck railway and highway bridge, which was "self-destroyed" and reborn during the War of Resistance. Experience: Walk on the highway deck, touch the rivets and steel beams, and imagine the busy days when trains and cars ran side by side; you can also take industrial-style photos near the railway under the bridge (safety first) to feel the weight of history. 2. Liuhe Pagoda: A Millennium Dialogue Between Ancient Tower and River Bridge Highlights: Photos 2 and 8 show Liuhe Pagoda, a classic example of ancient towers in Jiangnan. Photo 7 frames the Qiantang River Bridge and modern buildings through the pagoda window, and photo 9’s plaques inside the pagoda (such as “Seven Treasures Splendor” and “Five Clouds Supporting the Canopy”) showcase the beauty of calligraphy and religious culture. Experience: Climb the pagoda! Each floor offers a different view. From the upper levels, you can take in the Qiantang River, the bridge, and Zhijiang New Town all at once, as if stepping through a frame bridging past and present (like the “window frame river bridge” perspective in photo 7, perfect for photos). 3. Zhijiang Road Riverside Greenway: Slow Enjoyment of Nature and Culture Highlights: The forest trail in photo 3 and the cyclist in photo 4 show the vitality of the greenway. Photo 5’s Qiantang River shipping and modern bridge clusters symbolize the river view and urban development. Experience: Walk or cycle along the greenway. In spring, enjoy the river breeze brushing the willows; in autumn, admire the flying reed flowers. On sunny days, take a refreshing bike ride on the same cycling path as in photo 4, or stroll through the woods like in photo 3, listening to birds and insects, letting your body and mind slow down. 3. Travel Tips Best Time: Spring and autumn (March-April, October-November). The river view is most photogenic on clear days, and the vegetation around Liuhe Pagoda is richly layered. Transportation: Take Metro Line 4 to "Shuicheng Bridge Station," then a 10-minute walk to Qiantang River Bridge; for driving, park at Liuhe Pagoda parking lot (public transport recommended during peak seasons). Hidden Experience: If time allows, picnic at the "Liuhe Listening to Waves" park beside Liuhe Pagoda, where the sound of the Qiantang River tides blends with the traffic noise on the bridge, creating a unique "ancient and modern symphony" exclusive to Hangzhou. From the steel bones of Qiantang River Bridge, to the flying eaves of Liuhe Pagoda, and the river breeze and greenery of Zhijiang Road, this City Walk route is a two-way journey between history and nature. Every step unlocks Hangzhou’s depth and vitality.

On April 12, 2025, I drove to the Zhijiang Branch of the Zhejiang Museum, specifically to see the painting "Dwelling in the Fuchun Mountains."

After entering the museum, I went straight to the fourth floor to see the dedicated exhibition hall dedicated to the painting.

After seeing "Dunhuang Wonderland" at the Zhijiang Cultural Center, I can only say that even the discounted price of 78 is too high! If you're only interested in Dunhuang cultural and creative products, flavored milk tea, and stamps, there's no need to rush. The exhibition content is neither extensive nor deep, with the biggest attraction being the recreation of Cave 220, where you can take silhouette photos of "lantern exploration." There's also a popular caisson light show, which is great for taking photos. Every hour, there's a three-minute dance performance featuring waist drums and pipa, as well as an animation of the donor Zhai Tongxiu's family cave, which uses new painting styles from Chang'an. Zhai Tongxiu was selected through the imperial examination and awarded the official position of "Chaoyi Lang" (朝议郎) of the sixth rank. He served as the "Dunhuang County Doctor," responsible for imparting knowledge and preserving documents, making him the most learned person in Dunhuang at the time. Building family caves to record the prosperity of the era was the best way to convey a message of peace. Through the Dunhuang music and dance depicted in the murals of Cave 220, one can dream of Chang'an and uncover a glimpse of the Tang Dynasty's prosperity, which is actually a great entry point. The "Dunhuang Music Score" is a set of pipa scores discovered in the Library Cave of the Mogao Caves in Dunhuang, transcribed from the late Tang to the Five Dynasties, containing 25 pieces in total. The Hu Xuan Dance originated from the Western Regions' Kang and Shi countries (now the Uzbekistan region in Central Asia). Its most notable feature is dancers performing on a small round carpet, spinning left and right at a rapid pace like the wind. The Hu Xuan Dance entered the Central Plains during the Northern Zhou Dynasty and was officially incorporated into the court music system as "Kang Guo (Ji)" during the Tang Dynasty. When the Tang court hosted important envoys, ten musical performances were staged in succession, with Hu Xuan dancers appearing in the "Kang Guo Music." The Hu Ji (胡姬) in taverns were skilled in singing and dancing, and most of the Hu Xuan dancers from Central Asian countries were incorporated into the court music institutions. During the Lantern Festival, when the court held public performances, the common people could also witness the elegance of the court's Hu Xuan dancers. The music and dance ensemble in the "Medicine Master Sutra Transformation" on the north wall of Cave 220 features the most popular musical instruments of the Tang Dynasty. The band extensively uses percussion instruments, with a total of 13 pieces of 8 types. During the Warring States period, the zheng was already popular in Qin, later known as the Qin Zheng. The Tang Dynasty saw the widespread use of the clapper, which by the Five Dynasties had begun to show some conducting functions. The bili originated from ancient Kucha (now Kuqa, Xinjiang) and was introduced to China via the Silk Road during the Han Dynasty, later spreading to Korea and Japan. The vertical konghou was introduced from Persia via the Western Regions during the Eastern Han Dynasty. It was improved during the Tang Dynasty and continued to be popular during the Song and Yuan Dynasties, eventually being shortened to "konghou."
