"The simplistic beauty of the dizi,
of the most ancient of instruments,
unchanged throughout the years,
still falls sweetly upon the ears."

About Chen Yang

A native of Minqing County in Fujian Province, Chen Yang (陳暘) was a jinshi (palace graduate) in China's North Song Dynasty, who later served in the Ministry of Rites.

His Treatise on Music, a scholarly work with a huge mass of valuable information on Song- and pre-Song-Dynasty music, is of great historical and cultural significance.

Generally regarded as the earliest encyclopedic volumes of musicology in Chinese history, and perhaps even in world history, Treatise on Music has been an important and indispensable work of reference in the study of Chinese music. The 200-volume masterpiece, noted for its early date of publication and wide coverage ranging over a period between the Han-Tang Dynasties and the Ming-Qing Dynasties, is a rare collection in the treasure of Chinese musicology.
