Lusheng: national intangible cultural heritage

Su Dejun makes Lusheng, a reed-pipe wind instrument, in Sanjiang Dong autonomous county, southwest China's Guangxi Zhuang autonomous region, Aug 16, 2012. Having a history of 2,000 years, Lusheng is a free-reed organ played by people of the Dong and Miao ethnic groups in southwest China. Performers often dance or swing the instrument from side to side while playing. In 2008, Lusheng was listed in the National Intangible Cultural Heritage List. Su Dejun, 47, was invited to Sanjiang to make Lusheng with his senior fellow apprentice Yang Zhiguang this time. [Photo/Xinhua]
