overview
The Guzheng, also known as the Zheng and the Qin Zheng, has been developed over 2,500 years and has become the most distinctive Chinese musical instrument. In order to pass on and promote Chinese traditional culture around the world, the Asian Art Association of Singapore has gathered the world's top guzheng masters as judges to hold the first "World Guzheng Competition" and invite Chinese music and culture lovers around the world to participate.
The performance works will be videotaped by the participants according to the requirements of the competition organizing committee and submitted on this website. The outstanding works will be displayed on the official website of the Asian Arts Association for a long time after the competition.
