Music and musical instruments

Huju is accompanied by an ensemble of traditional Chinese instruments, including dizi (transverse bamboo flute), erhu (two-stringed fiddle), pipa (pear-shaped lute), yangqin (hammered dulcimer), and percussion. The instrumentation and style are closely related to the instrumental genre of Jiangnan sizhu (江南丝竹, string and wind musical instruments used in the area south of the lower reaches of the Yangtze River). The famous Chinese composition "Purple Bamboo Melody" (紫竹调) is adapted from Huju.
