The sound of a comeback

China Daily  

Li Hao, who is devoted to making the ruan, a traditional instrument, works in his studio in Nanning, Guangxi Zhuang autonomous region. It was a photo of a painting from the Southern Song period by an unknown artist, titled Zhulin Boruan Tu, or "playing the ruan in the bamboo forest". It features three people clad in long robes in a bamboo forest near a creek, who are playing an instrument, the four-stringed ruan. Inspired by the painting, the clerk at a university in Nanning, capital of South China's Guangxi Zhuang autonomous region, had a bold idea: to make a ruan just like the one he'd seen in the painting.
