My daughter was mesmerized when she heard 古琴 for the first time

the same way as when she first heard Bach's Menuet in G major. Kids have the purest music taste. It's the adults who are constantly influenced by the society at large. Chinese classic music composers were not recognized as individuals in our long history. It doesn't mean the best of them were not as talented as Mozart. Chinese music maybe poorly marketed and executed in the modern age, and most importantly, they are not treasured by our own people. I think it's an accumulated problem, starting from the colonial age.

Not only China, you could say just about every non-Western countries have "weaker" music inclination than European descendants. But is that true?
