Finalise
【GU ZHENG】
Everyone is confused GuZheng and GuQin, they are sister . GuQin with 7 strings played without moveable bridges.
The reasons why I chose the 5 things above is because :
- I like Traditional Chinese song and the culture , but nowaday young generation likes to listen K pop.
- Those things inspired of me, and i can create new things .
