Editor's note: The Xun is an ancient Chinese wind instrument with a history of approximately 7,000 years. It is made of porcelain, with one to six holes, and is shaped like an egg. Chen Yuanzhong, aged 59, lives in Zunyi, southwest China's Guizhou Province. He has practiced carving Xun for more than 40 years. The musical instruments made by him are uniquely shaped and distinctly melodious. As a result, while making this folk handicraft product, he has had a new lease on life and found favor with both the local people and tourists. Currently, Chen has been included into local brilliant talents' database.
