How great is our Great Xia!

December 16th, Saturday!

Nine AM!

It was the weekend, everyone's time off.

So the moment the Great Xia Musical Instruments account started live streaming, a huge crowd poured in.

It wasn't long before the number surpassed 60 million.

This number had already exceeded the Liushang Pavilion Exchange Meeting at that time.

There was no comparison, this was an international stage after all.

Not just Great Xia, but also music masters from numerous countries would gather here.

It was definitely a live stream not to be missed.

60 million was just the beginning, the number would only grow from there...

"Hello everyone, this is the official Great Xia Musical Instruments account. I am the host for this exchange meeting, Ye Qingqing.

I'll be providing full coverage of the live stream from now on!"

Ye Qingqing was even more excited than the viewers in the live stream.

When she live streamed before, the most she ever had was just over 300,000 people.

Now it was directly 60 million people!

It would be fake not to be excited.

[Oh, it's Ye Qingqing, I remember this young lady!]

[She seemed to have participated in the Liushang Pavilion Exchange Meeting back then, her guzheng skills were pretty good.]

[The reason I remember her is because her looks are very good. Although not as good as Shen Qingyi, she has a unique charm.]

At the Liushang Pavilion Exchange Meeting, Ye Qingqing wasn't selected because her guzheng skills were still a bit lacking.

However, considering that this international exchange meeting required someone to provide full live coverage.

And Ye Qingqing had a sweet appearance and happened to have live streaming experience.

So she was brought on board.

Excited as she was, such a major international stage might only come once in a lifetime, so she had to seize this opportunity.

She didn't dare to show any timidity and quickly utilized her understanding of the exchange meeting and musical instruments:

"The reason this musical instrument exchange meeting is such a grand event is because it brings together 57 countries to participate.

At the same time, it's not as simple as just mutually showcasing musical skill levels.

Instead, it's a multifaceted platform integrating exhibition, trade, innovation, musical culture exchange, and future education.

And the first segment is the musical instrument exhibition.

Musical instruments from ancient times to the present day, from 57 countries, have all been collectively placed on one platform."

Ye Qingqing had the cameraman turn the lens towards these musical instruments.

"This is the United States' exhibition area.

This is Potato Country's.

This Little Japan..."

Under Ye Qingqing's deliberate arrangement, they finally arrived at the Great Xia musical instrument area.

"Here is our Great Xia's musical instrument exhibition area!

As everyone can see, our Great Xia exhibition area is already packed with people; it's the area with the most visitors.

Does everyone know why?"

Ye Qingqing first created some suspense, then walked around the area and discovered that the Great Xia musical instrument exhibition area occupied the largest space.

"Everyone has noticed something now, right?

That's right, our Great Xia is the country with the most musical instruments globally, bar none!

According to the materials used for production, there is the Bayin classification method, namely metal, stone, earth, leather, silk, wood, gourd, and bamboo.

Further divided by playing method, there are four categories:

Wind instruments: Sheng, Lusheng, Hulusi, Yu, Xiao, Di, Suona...

Bowed string instruments: Erhu, Gaohu, Zhonghu, Gehu, Datong, Sihu, Jinghu, Maguhu, Banhu, Yehu, Zhuizi, Matouqin, Satar...

Plucked string instruments: Qin, Se, Zheng, Gayageum, Yangqin, Kalong, Ruan, Pipa, Yueqin, Liuqin, Dong Pipa, Sanxian, Komuz, Zhamunie, Dombyra...

Percussion instruments: Tanggu, Ganggu, Timpani, Paigu, Tonggu, Xiyaogu, Yaogu, Xiangjiaogu, Banggu, Shugu, Bajiaogu, Yugu, Dagong, Xiaogong, Yunluo, Shimianluo, Nao, Bo, Pengling, Lihuapian, Paiban, Bangzi, Jianban, Zhuban...

To be honest, there are many instruments I can't even name.

Among the 56 ethnic groups, each has its own unique musical instruments.

It is said that the total number of Great Xia folk musical instruments combined.

Is over 700 types.

While the entire world's musical instruments are only around 1500 types.

Our Great Xia accounts for half of that number.

This!

Is our Great Xia musical instrument culture!

It has a long history and is profound and extensive!"

After Ye Qingqing's speech, everyone in the live stream felt a sense of shared honor.

[Wow wow wow, if it weren't for this popularization, I really wouldn't have known that my Great Xia actually has over 700 types of musical instruments, accounting for half of the world's total. Awesome!]

[Damn, isn't this cultural confidence coming through! 5000 years of culture is not just talk. Glorious is my Great Xia!]

[Doesn't Big Stick Country like to steal our culture? With so many musical instruments, let's see how they steal them. They probably can't even name them all, hahahahaha!]

[You're making it difficult for them, hahahaha. Even I, a pure Daxia, can't recognize them all!]

[As a Daxia, I just want to say one thing: Great Xia is awesome!!!]

[At this moment, I just want to say: Who else?]

[At this moment, I just want to say...]

It was clear that the atmosphere in the live stream had been ignited by Ye Qingqing.

As the team leader for this event, Dai Tianxiong was naturally happy to see such a good atmosphere in the live stream.

"Let me say a few words!

Although Great Xia has many musical instruments, only a few are truly familiar to foreigners.

In recent years, foreign cultural invasion has been severe, with pianos, guitars, and violins occupying a significant portion of the Great Xia market.

This time is an opportunity for us to bring Great Xia musical instruments to the world and elevate them to another level.

Therefore, I hope everyone can do their utmost to attend this grand event together!"

Following Dai Tianxiong's speech, everyone's morale became increasingly high.

They were all impatient to use their strongest musical pieces to properly showcase themselves to these foreigners.

...

After the musical instrument exhibition concluded, representatives from various countries came forward to say a few words.

And discuss the future development of music and musical instruments.

This segment would be slightly boring.

Many Netizens would swipe away first and only return when the performance time arrived.

By the time they returned to the live stream, it was already the afternoon!

Ye Qingqing appeared in the live stream on time:

"The performances are about to begin, I believe this is the segment everyone is most looking forward to!

Although it's called an exchange meeting, there is actually a certain level of competition.

In the first round, all 57 countries will perform one piece.

For this piece, only their own country's musical scores can be used.

Even if each piece is 5 minutes long, adding up 57 countries would take nearly five hours.

So today is only enough for the first round.

Afterwards, the audience will vote, and the ten countries with the highest votes will continue with the second round of performances tomorrow.

As for the other countries, they will have to wait until the free performance time after the second round to continue.

Therefore, the first piece is especially important.

It reflects a country's level of musical composition and performance..."

Regarding music, many countries actually don't have high hopes for Great Xia.

Furthermore, not being the host country, their performance order was scheduled for last.

The last performance is actually quite a disadvantage.

The audience is already tired of listening.

If the musical piece lacks novelty and isn't impactful enough, it basically won't attract the audience's attention.

Just as the audience was getting drowsy, Great Xia's performance time finally arrived...
