In this video, Haiqiong plays an excerpt from the Shaanxi school of Chinese music. In Shaanxi, the Chinese province where the Terra Cotta Soldiers were found, there is a specific folk style that features the mournful Mi Hu music. The style of plucking produces a sorrowful sound, as Haiqiong explains after the song excerpt.
Deng Haiqiong is the instructor of the Chinese Ensemble at Florida State University in Tallahassee, Florida and a world renowned zheng player.
I saw her perform at Elms College, Chicopee, Massachusetts last night (October 16, 2009). I believe she now teaches at Florida State University.
