This traditional folk music, "Bayinhui" or the "eight-sound band," is a national intangible cultural heritage that originated in northern China's Shanxi Province. "Bayin" means eight sounds created by eight different types of traditional Chinese musical instruments, including the drum, gong, cymbal, flutes and pipes. Folk music has a history of more than 700 years and is very popular in southeast Shanxi Province.
