Wu Songs, once popular in Wuxi, Jiangsu province, refer to a form of Chinese folk music that originated in the Taihu Lake Basin, representing an integral part of Wu culture.
Xiju Opera, also known as Wuxi Tanhuang, is a local opera form originating from Wuxi, with a history that dates back to the reign of Emperor Qianlong of the Qing Dynasty (1644-1911).
Wuxi is known as the capital of erhu (a two-stringed Chinese fiddle) in China. As a representative of Jiangnan sizhu music and Chinese folk musical instruments, erhu has always uniquely appealed to this Chinese folk musical instrument.
