How did the music of Abing become a bridge between traditional and modern Chinese music?
What will be an ideal response?
• Abing was a traditional folk musician and his (recorded) music became "part of the modern Chinese musical world." His recorded music was published in music notation and studied by high-school and conservatory musicians, many of whom reshaped the original material and thought of themselves as "inheritors of older, regional folk
styles . . ." The music was adapted in modern Chinese music conservatories to reflect Western models, virtuoso performance skills, (Western) equal-tempered tuning, and concert-hall performance.
