The Tianqin, an ancient musical instrument originating 5,000 years ago from the Luoyue ethnic group, has long been referred to as "Dingding" among the folk due to the resonant sound it produces. After in-depth research by Guangxi ethnomusicologist Fan Ximu, it was officially named "Tianqin." In the film, Mr. Qin Huabei, a fourth-generation inheritor of the Zhuang ethnic Tianqin tradition (recognized as intangible cultural heritage), passionately shares with us the craftsmanship, materials used, and the historical legacy of the Tianqin.

The making and playing of the Tianqin is not merely an artistic expression - it is also a reverent continuation of ancestral wisdom and culture. With strong support from the local government, Mr. Qin Huabei has been actively engaged in the preservation and promotion of Tianqin culture. Through teaching in schools, carefully mentoring apprentices, composing new songs, and performing, he is dedicated to ensuring that this precious cultural heritage continues to thrive and evolve in the modern era.
