Are Chinese musical instruments worse than western musical instruments? Are there still many people learning folk music now?

This question is irrelevant. Chinese musical instruments are very different from western musical instruments. It can be said that each has its own advantages, and there is no such thing as good or bad. The most important thing of China national musical instruments is agility. Take our folk bamboo flute as an example. It can be said that China's fast fingering of bamboo flute can't reach that speed, so it is difficult to practice the piano. Moreover, China's folk music score can be compared with the western music score, which is quite different. An obvious feature is that China's music format is very lively, while the routines of western music are very fixed. This is the difference between western culture and eastern culture, and there is no difference between good and bad. Of course, there are also many people who learn folk music. After all, the teaching of folk music is much more formal than western music. Teachers are generally local experts, while the teaching of western music is not so formal. Ordinary music teachers dare to teach, and there are few powerful people. The difference in educational resources can be imagined.
