"Duan Chao, the erhu performer of our group, also learned the local minority musical instruments during the co-construction with the local ethnic orchestra. I asked her to use the Xinjiang Uyghur musical instrument, Aijek, to play a segment for everyone."

"In recent years, the orchestra has also launched the world's first national instrumental drama "Xuanzang Westward Journey"... Next, let the actor in the play Alpati play a piece of music from the play."

"We will invite Meng Xiao, the pipa player of the orchestra, to use the five-stringed pipa from the Tang Dynasty to demonstrate the inheritance and protection of the music of ethnic minorities. The music is from the ancient Tang Dynasty score "Pin Nong" found in the Sutra Cave of Mogao Grottoes in Dunhuang. Please enjoy it."

In order to vividly and intuitively demonstrate the achievements of the Central Chinese Orchestra in the inheritance and protection of ethnic music, Xi Qiang, the former head of the Central Chinese Orchestra, specially invited 3 artists to perform ethnic music on the spot for the participants.

"Through new forms of processing, transplantation and adaptation, the music of ethnic minorities is endowed with the spirit of the times, which has become an important method for the Central National Orchestra to inherit and protect the music of ethnic minorities."

Mr. Xi Qiang's unique speech was praised by the participants: "This is the one that makes the most use of the remote conference format, and it is also the most popular speech."

The speeches were indeed well received, and there was a round of applause at the venue after each piece was played. The three applause, not only the participants' appreciation of the artist's skills, but also the appreciation of the cultural value carried by the excellent traditional music of ethnic minorities.

According to member Xi Qiang, the Central Chinese Orchestra has carried out cultural assistance in Xinjiang, Tibet, Guizhou, Sichuan, Gansu and other places. "Through cultural assistance activities, we not only bring excellent traditional culture to ethnic minority areas, but at the same time, our performers have also learned a lot of excellent ethnic music..."

The 4th round of applause in the venue occurred in the online speech of Rongba Xinna. The first-level actor of the Yunnan Nujiang Lisu Autonomous Prefecture Ethnic Culture Work Troupe recounted her personal experience——

Four years ago, Rongbaxina and the Chinese Memory Project Center of the National Library launched the "Oral Tradition Collection Project of Minority Ethnic Groups", which was launched in Yunnan Province.

"At present, these ethnic minority cultural and artistic resources are in an endangered state and urgently need to be rescued."

"We don't want to do everything and make it bigger now, but we want to do as much as we can, and if we can keep one, one is the only one."

During the narration, Rong Baxin's voice was choked several times, and her eyes were moist. When her speech was over, the venue burst into warm applause again. The applause is moved, encouraged, and more hopeful...

"We are very moved by the speech of member Rongbaxinna." Vice Minister of Finance Yu Weiping said immediately that after the meeting, the heads of relevant departments of the Ministry of Finance will communicate with member Rongbaxina about the relevant situation.
