Kuaibanshu
While bones have been used as musical instruments in China for thousands of years, kuaiban in its modern form was pioneered by Li Runjie of Tianjin in the 1940s.During weekend evenings, groups of middle-aged and elderly people perform kuaiban on the south side of the hill in Jingshan Park in Beijing.In Chinese tradition culture, bamboo symbolizes the elasticity, longevity, happiness and spiritual truth of life.For Buddhist and Taoist writers and artists, the straight lines and hollow structure of bamboo have extremely profound symbolic meanings.Yuming, Yang, et al. “Bamboo Diversity and Traditional Uses in Yunnan, China.” Mountain Research and Development, vol.
