Exhibition on development of Chinese music opens in Shanghai

Tang Junjie, deputy Communist Party secretary and deputy dean of Shanghai Conservatory of Music, described the exhibition as an audible and tangible "musical scroll" of Chinese civilization, gathering musical instruments and melodies transcending time and space boundaries.

Tang said the academy is committed to promoting the innovative transformation and development of traditional Chinese culture, while the exhibition offers visitors a brand new cultural experience that combines history, art, science and technology.

The world's first set of 20 meteorite-made chimes made its full-scale debut show at the opening ceremony.
