In 2005, Chen Gong founded the Fujian Yitian Musical Instrument Museum in Fuzhou, covering an area of 400 square meters, with a total collection of more than 1,000 pieces of Chinese and Western musical instruments.
In Chen Gong's view, the "four great inventions" of ancient China had a great influence on the history of the development of world civilization, but as the "fifth invention" of China, the history of musical instrument civilization, the Chinese knew very little. "As early as 7000 years ago, Chinese ancestors invented the world's oldest musical instruments-bone flute, Xun, Fou; the world's largest band is the Tang Dynasty court band; the world's first sheet music is Guqin sheet music" "Shi You Pian Lan" was written by the Chinese; the twelve equal rhythm commonly used in music performance today is also the earliest invention by the Chinese. "
Chen Gong said that during the epidemic, he often came to the Musical Instrument Museum alone and worked for more than 8 hours. So far, he has restored more than 20 famous Chinese and foreign pianos. "I hope that the world will work together to overcome the difficulties and overcome this epidemic as soon as possible."
During the visit, Chen Zhuang, the principal cellist of the Fujian Symphony Orchestra, was invited to perform the cello song "Living Praise" for the audience.
"After the outbreak, I saw the advanced deeds of medical personnel who helped Hubei and the frontline of the epidemic from the TV. I was deeply moved. Today I specially played this cello song and paid tribute to them." Chen Zhuang said.
The young soprano Zheng Xiaojing, the host of the Fujian Provincial Song and Dance Theatre, told reporters that Chen Gong still devoted himself to the repair of musical instruments during the epidemic, especially worth learning and inheriting by the younger generation of literary and artistic workers.
