About Chinese Ancient Music
The Chinese musical tradition was well-developed as early as the Zhou Dynasty, which began in 1122 BC. As the longest lasting dynasty, the Zhou Dynasty saw a flourishing in the performance arts, as well as written art. The oldest written music is Youlan (the Solitary Orchid), credited to Confucius, one of the most famous Chinese philosophers and intellectuals. The strong tradition for this art form is steeped in myth and legend, with Ling Lun credited as the legendary creator of music.
