Musical instrument hulusi as a symbol of China’s cultural identity
Abstract
Hulusi is a traditional Chinese wind instrument that plays an important role in the musical culture of China. This instrument, with its unique sound and appearance, embodies a rich cultural and historical tradition. In recent years, interest in hulusi has increased significantly both in China and abroad. However, the current state of the instrument requires a deeper analysis and systematization in order to develop effective measures for its preservation and development.
The relevance of this study is due to the need to preserve and popularize hulusi in the context of globalization and the rapid development of technology. The novelty of the work lies in a comprehensive examination of the history of Hulusi, an analysis of its current state and the proposal of measures for the development and promotion of the instrument.
The research methodology is based on a historical and analytical approach, including the study of literary sources, archival materials and modern publications, as well as an empirical analysis of the current state of hulusi and its place in modern music.
