Riyadh, September (پاکستان پوائنٹ نیوز 29 سبتمبر 2025ء) The exhibition offers visitors an educational and artistic experience tracing the development of Chinese music over thousands of years, through more than 100 rare musical artifacts. These include bone flutes, bronze bells, and traditional string instruments such as the guqin, along with the twelve lü pipes, reflecting the close link between music, rituals, and cultural identity in China.
The exhibition is divided into five main sections: “In Tune with Heaven and Earth,” “Echoes from Stone and Bronze,” “Mutual Melodies Between Regions and Strangers,” “A Tribute to Chinese Musical Heritage,” and “Mountains and Waters, Wind in the Forest.” These sections present multiple aspects of China’s musical experience, from the earliest instruments created to communicate with nature, to the role of music in rituals and social systems, to its interaction with neighboring cultures, and its reflection in both official and folk traditions.
In addition to rare artifacts, the exhibition provides an integrated vision of the philosophical and spiritual role of music in Chinese civilization, portraying it as a language of contemplation, human communication, and shared values that transcend time and place.
The Museums Commission affirmed that organizing this exhibition in Riyadh represents a significant step in the cultural cooperation between the Kingdom and China. It reflects the depth of the ties between the two countries as they continue to strengthen their partnership across various fields, and it serves as a platform for dialogue, highlighting the shared values between both sides.
