According to Jiang Yisheng, a commentator at the Yangjiang Shibazi Sound Museum, the "San Zi Jing" records "Pao soil leather, wood, stone and gold. Silk and bamboo are octaves." Music originated from the initial life movement of human beings. It originated from human beings beating various wood and stone tools. Its production is inseparable from tools. A knife-shaped chime is placed at the initial position of the Sound Museum to explore the origin of music and preface the theme museum of "Music and Knife".

"Music and Knife" is part of the theme of the exhibition area of the Audio Museum, and it is also because of the story of Li Jihui, the curator of Yangjiang Shibazi Audio Museum, who became acquainted with audio. Yangjiang, the city where Li Jihui grew up, is known as the "City of Knives and Scissors". Inherited from father to son, he was also in the cutting tool business at the beginning. An accidental experience made him fall in love with audio. Since then, he has been out of control and has become an audio enthusiast. As early as 2005, he held an audition meeting for Shibazi to organize audio enthusiasts to exchange and share.
Over time, Li Jihui has more and more speakers in his collection. In the circle of audiophiles, Li Jihui started to become famous. "I want to gather people who love audio through this collection." Li Jihui recalled that in 2007, Robert Harry, the editor-in-chief of the famous American audio magazine "Absolute Audio", became famous here. He was amazed at the collection of audio and records here. Presented to Li Jihui as "the world's number one fancier" with his own handwriting on the spot. In the subsequent conversation, Robert Harry suggested combining knives and music, so that the world can learn about Yangjiang knives and scissors and Yangjiang through the window of the Audio Collection Museum.
"The number one audiophile in the world has to do something! I have to be worthy of this title". Li Jihui took this as an incentive. In May 2010, on the opening day of the World Expo, Yangjiang Shibazi Audio Museum was officially established at the same time. "I remember this date very clearly. The slogan we shouted at that time was to go to Shanghai to watch the World Expo and go to Yangjiang to listen to the Audio Expo." Since then, the collection hall has become a museum, and Li Jihui has also changed from a collector to a museum curator. Talking about the future development of Yangjiang Shibazi Audio Museum, Li Jihui expressed the hope that Yangjiang Shibazi Audio Museum can go to the world together with Yangjiang.
