1 Young Chinese Peng Jingxuan has charmed netizens for playing Chinese guzheng in France. The video of Peng in traditional Chinese dress playing the musical instrument has been viewed more than 2.4 million times on a Chinese video streaming site.

2 Born after 1995, Peng began to learn to play guzheng at seven. She went to University Bordeaux 3 of France for further education after graduating from the Wuhan Conservatory of Music, majoring in musicology.

3 She was inspired by a lecture of a teacher from the Paris National Conservatory of Music and Dance, which gave a detailed introduction to French music and its musicology. As she has learnt some French in college, she decided to go to France.

4 “Im very curious about whether there is any connection between foreign and traditional Chinese music majors,” said Peng.

5 Peng found that foreign young people are interested in Chinese culture and Chinese music as well during her studying in France. Her classmates were surprised by the charm and timbre (音質) of guzheng when she introduced the Chinese musical instrument to them. However, Peng never sees Chinese instruments in the streets of France where street performance culture is popular, which reminded her of guzheng.

6 “I want to keep it with me, and want foreigners to appreciate the charm of beautiful Chinese music. Therefore, I began to play guzheng in the street,” said Peng.

7 In 2018, she brought guzheng to France from central Chinas Hunan. She has won the attention of local people since she played it in the street for the first time. “A grandma invited me to her house to play for her daughters wedding because she thought guzheng is very romantic,” said Peng.

8 Peng said local people like both popular Western songs like See You Again and China⁃style music like Blue and White Porcelain and High Mountains and Flowing Water. Children will dance to her music.

9 “It is wonderful to attract more and more foreigners to learn about our traditional music thanks to the efforts and skills of young Chinese,” said Peng. In her eyes, culture export must take root in traditional Chinese culture and keep innovating so as to better convey its essence (精髓).

2. However, Peng never sees Chinese instruments in the streets of France where street performance culture is popular, which reminded her of guzheng. 然而,在街头表演文化盛行的法国街头,彭從未见过中国乐器,这让她想起了古筝。
