About this audio guide
This guide to the Dayan Naxi Ancient Music concert in Lijiang follows a repertoire that outlasted the Cultural Revolution, when owners buried their instruments in courtyard walls rather than surrender them. It traces musician Xuan Ke, sent to hard labor for openly loving Western classical music, and what he did after his release. The nightly program on Mishi Lane still includes Baisha music and the Taoist Dongjing repertoire, played on instruments over a century old.
