Venerated Patterns
Because it served as the eastern terminus of the Silk Route on which goods and ideas were exchanged between East and West, the city of Chang-An (present-day Xian, located in northwestern China in Shaanxi province) prospered and became the largest and richest in the world during the Tang dynasty (61S-907 A.D.). By the time the dynasty ended, the province's former glory had faded. During the Mongol invasion in the late thirteenth century and the subsequent Yuan dynasty which lasted until the middle of the fourteenth, northern Shaanxi became one of China's poorest regions. Throughout the country a general decline of culture occurred during Mongol rule with the exception of one particular art form-musical drama. Among the instruments performing in the ensemble accompanying the plays of this time were the three-stringed lute (introduced into China for the first time, and ancestor of the Japanese Shamisen) and the transverse (horizontal) flute, the probable forerunner of the Di. The Di went on to become a mainstay of Chinese music and its repertoire grew to include folk tunes, one of which is this song from northern Shaanxi.
