Why do Chinese traditional musical instruments sound more "tacky" than foreign ones?

The reason why Chinese traditional musical instruments sound more tacky than foreign ones is because your growing environment and life background have created your "aesthetic fatigue" to traditional music. Once upon a time, when you first heard the performance of a foreign symphony orchestra, you were impressed by its exquisite interpretation and noble atmosphere for the first time. You never imagined that, at the same time, perhaps in a corner of the earth, there are countless foreigners who are intoxicated at the end of the year by listening to your tacky Chinese traditional musical instrument "Moonlit Night on the Spring River", and even want to know about our profound traditional culture in China because of this China traditional music. In the final analysis, this is all caused by cross-regional cultural charm, so even if you don't like our traditional musical instrument, it is still vulgar and "attractive".

I won't say much. I just want to say that a few days ago, I was fascinated by a China erhu player, Mr. Gao Shaoqing. Although he has now become a Canadian citizen, he is a native of Gansu and a Canadian Chinese. He not only integrated the traditional erhu performance into the music culture of many countries, but also held many large-scale performances at home and abroad. At the same time, he made excellent music for some famous movies, TV series and documentaries, and even trained a large number of talents. I have to say that there is no distinction between high and low for music itself, and there is no distinction between beauty, ugliness, vulgarity, elegance and vulgarity for musical instruments themselves, but if we really have to say the only difference, it is that people who play the piano don't care whether you like it or not.

One of the songs that impressed me most was Wan, which he played with a foreign symphony orchestra. Can you imagine how our most localized local music feels after it is integrated into foreign symphonies? You would never expect the erhu to be so outstanding, really like a spirited horse galloping on the vast grassland, and many foreign musical instruments have just become one of these followers, which has to be said to be the "precipitation" charm of traditional musical instruments. Yes, I used the word "precipitation". China is a vast country with a history of thousands of years. We have experienced too many wars and peace. You don't like it because of its bitterness, and we like it because of its bitterness. After all, every musical instrument has enough "precipitation" for our history and our nation. This is incomparable between the two, so in the end, I hope you can enjoy this music without hindrance.
