Pipa 琵琶

The pipa, or Chinese lute, is a traditional stringed instrument in Chinese culture. With a history dating back over 2000 years, the pipa has been an important part of Chinese music and culture, and is known for its delicate and melodious sound. Legend has it that the pipa was invented by the famous musician and poet Cai Yong during the Han dynasty. It is said that he was inspired to create the instrument after seeing the wings of a phoenix, and that the shape of the instrument was modeled after the shape of the bird. Today, the pipa remains a beloved instrument in China, and is often featured in classical music and traditional Chinese opera.

Jingtai blue, or Chinese cloisonne, is a traditional enamelware that originated in Beijing during the Ming Dynasty. It features intricate designs made with copper wires and colorful enamels, and is highly valued for its beauty and craftsmanship. While blue is a popular color for Jingtai blue, it is not the only option, as other colors such as red, yellow, and green are also used. The process of making Jingtai blue is highly complex and time-consuming, requiring great skill and patience to create the intricate patterns. Despite its challenges, the end result is a beautiful and durable work of art that has become a treasured part of Chinese culture.
