Chinese and Egyptian musicians play the Chinese folk song Jasmine on the pipa and the oud, highlighting the similarities between the tones and appearances of the two traditional string instruments. Musicians believe that different civilizations can complement each other in the field of music.
From the oud to the pipa, the development not only exemplifies an artistic creation and a cultural convergence, but also brings forth new ideas while keeping traditions alive for future expectations.
