EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, taken circa 1908, captures a moment of respite for two traditional Chinese musicians during a performance. The musicians, dressed in the elegant attire of the time, are seen taking a break and enjoying a drink. The instruments they have played during the performance are the Sanxian and the Yuegin, both integral parts of Chinese musical tradition. The Sanxian, also known as the Three-Stringed Instrument, is a type of Chinese banjo or lute, with a long history dating back over a thousand years. Its distinctive three strings and unique tuning create a rich, resonant sound that is both haunting and beautiful. The musician on the left holds the Sanxian in his hands, its wooden body and intricately carved decorations evident even from this distance. The Yuegin, or Moon Guitar, is a plucked stringed instrument with a pear-shaped body and a long neck. Its name comes from the moon-shaped bridge that supports the strings. The musician on the right holds a bottle in one hand and a cup in the other, taking a sip of his drink as he rests his hand on the Yuegin's neck. His pigtail, a traditional hairstyle for Chinese men during this period, adds to the authenticity of the scene. The musicians' moment of relaxation is a testament to the enduring beauty and rich history of Chinese music and culture. This photograph offers a glimpse into the past, transporting us to a time when music was an integral part of daily life and a source of joy and entertainment for all.
