广东省揭阳市榕城区2024-2025学年九年级上学期期中考试英语试题
Wuxi City in eastern China's Jiangsu Province is known as the 'Home of the erhu" because it is the birthplace of many erhu masters. Looking around Wuxi,you can often hear the beautiful sound of the erhu. The erhu was called the huqin at first, a musical instrument of ethnic(种族的)groups in northern China,and it dates more than a thousand years back to the Tang Dynasty. In modern times,with the development of operas, the huqin was renamed the erhu and it slowly spread throughout China.
The erhu plays a leading role in many Chinese folk orchestras(管弦乐队)just as the violin does in Western orchestras. They are both made up of a body,a bridge,strings(弦)and a bow(弓).
The performer usually holds the erhu straightly on the leg,▲and pressing the strings with his fingers, while drawing the bow with his right hand. As the bow runs against the strings and touches and shakes them, beautiful music comes.
Not limited (限制)by just two strings,a good player can give the erhu amazing emotional expressions. It can present both soft, lovely songs and sad music. Sometimes it gives a human crying voice, and sometimes a great horse-running sound.
Today, as a folk instrument, the erhu has been used more widely by communicating with Western musical instruments. In many international concerts, the erhu can be seen playing with different Western instruments, such as the piano,violin and guitar. This performance form not only adds new possibilities to music creation,but also brings richer enjoyment to the listeners.
