Pause here for a moment
Notice light beneath the porch, then how an instrument is presented. What does its shape explain, and what remains unheard without a performer?

HEXAGRAM 16Zhou Yi · Image · Excerpt and editorial translation
雷出地奋，豫。
Thunder emerges from the earth: Yu.
Yu’s vibration evokes music’s capacity to gather people. Beautiful instruments alone cannot preserve the work, language and daily life behind their sound.
Instrument and performance record different dimensions; they complement one another.
A tradition needs names and life histories, not only a style label.
Shared resonance allows different ways of listening and gives tradition room to continue.
