"The silk pipes in Jincheng are flowing day by day, half into the river wind and half into the clouds. This song can only be heard in the sky, and can be heard several times in the world." In 761, Du Fu, who was living in Chengdu, heard the silk and bamboo music in Shu. I was very surprised when I wrote this poem. This shows that as early as the Tang Dynasty, the urgent and complicated sounds of the land of abundance were already lingering around. After thousands of years of ups and downs, the bustling scene of palace banquets back then has been hard to find. But now, the twenty-four musical stone sculptures sleeping in the Yongling Tomb together with Wang Jian, the ancestor of the former Shu Dynasty, have left a microcosm of the imperial music of the Tang Dynasty, allowing contemporary people to have a glimpse of the peaceful singing and dancing scenes at that time.

Thousands of years later, how will the "Twenty-Four Music" reliefs in Yongling in Chengdu, which bear witness to the music culture of the late Tang and Five Dynasties, play the sounds of the Tang Dynasty? On September 7, at the Yongling Museum in Chengdu, many children wearing traditional costumes gathered together and wore their musician ID cards with confident and proud smiles. It turns out that this is a group of young musicians who represent the future hope of folk music. After fierce selection, they were successfully selected as the "Little Musicians" in the first season of "Twenty-Four Music·Interpretation Club". On the same day, the youth version of the Chinese style music gathering "Jile 24" also officially entered rehearsals.

"We have always emphasized that we should make cultural relics 'come alive' and recruit 'little musicians' in the hope that the music culture in 'Twenty-Four Music' can be better inherited and continued."

Feng Xiaye Speaking of which, the "Little Musicians" recruitment event was officially open to the public in early July, and the popularity of registration exceeded their imagination. After nearly two months of registration, selection, interview and assessment processes, 51 outstanding preparatory young musicians were finally selected.
