dream he travelled to the palace of the moon, where he saw
celestial women, clothed in feathers and rosy clouds dancing
in the sky. After the Emperor awoke, his favourite concubine
Yang Gui Fei, renowned as being one of the four most beautiful
women in Chinese history, choreographed and performed this

hand-plucked stringed instrument musical called the "Happy
Spring Outing". Our musical masters will demonstrate their

the Tang Empire. Mr. Gao Ming, who has won many national and provincial
awards, is internationally recognised as the premier performer of
the Pai Xiao, a three thousand year-old instrument. Mr. Gao performs
the"Spring Orioles Song", which originated
during a Tang Emperor's accession to the throne when, during the
ceremony, a flock of Orioles flew over the emporer's head. The emperor
was so impressed by this good luck sign that he ordered his court
musicians to compose music for the Pai Xiao which would imitate
the sounds of these majestic birds.
