Music the new vessel for traditional philosophy

By Han Manman

Traditional culture is undergoing a resurgence across the mainland, and at the vanguard is Ha Hui, a singer whose music has been called “ceremonial music of the 21st Century” and been characterized by Grammy Awards judges as uniquely Chinese.

By combining classical poetry and Confucian aesthetics, Ha’s new ceremonial music preserves historic rites and traditional etiquette that have almost disappeared.

Now preparing for her world tour, Ha hopes to spread traditional Chinese philosophy to the world and spur overseas interests in its related culture.
