The research aims to investigate the educational perspectives on the preservation of the Yang Jiao Zhong, a Chinese bronze instrument. Conducted at the Guangxi Zhuang Nationality Museum in Nanning, Guangxi, China, the study employed a qualitative descriptive method integrating field observation, semi-structured expert interviews, and documentary review. Five key informant experts in folk music, bronze instruments, digital audio technology, sound education, and spatial aesthetics provided insights into the instrument’s historical value, sound preservation, and pedagogical applications. Data were analyzed thematically to interpret educational implications within cultural, technological, and pedagogical dimensions. The results revealed that the Yang Jiao Zhong serves as an interdisciplinary learning tool that connects history, music, and digital technology. Digital sound modelling and virtual exhibitions enhance accessibility, while museum-based workshops foster experiential learning and cultural empathy. The study concludes that integrating digital heritage tools and museum-based learning into curricula transforms ancient artefacts into dynamic educational resources. It recommends collaborative partnerships among museums, universities, and technology centers to promote sustainable preservation and curriculum innovation. This research underscores how education not only safeguards tangible heritage but also revitalizes cultural identity through creative engagement and cross-disciplinary learning.  \nKeywords: Yang Jiao Zhong, cultural heritage education, digital preservation, museum-based learning, interdisciplinary pedagogy  \n1. Introduction  \nThe Yang Jiao Zhong is one of China’s distinctive ancient museum masterpieces that ancient civilization originated and shaped. This study tackles the historical artefact and its adaptive preservation from an educational standpoint where cultural learning, heritage studies, and interdisciplinary teaching come into play. The preservation of such instruments today is rather the construction of an educational paradigm or the integration of civic education, discourse, and digital preservation that promotes the educational use of instruments.  \n1.1 Introduce the Problem  \nThe preservation of ancient musical instruments such as the Yang Jiao Zhong poses complex challenges in a rapidly globalized and technologically advanced world. Moving from traditional instruments to digital and performance-based modern music education has contributed to the erasure of traditional instruments from the pedagogy. The Yang Jiao Zhong, once instrumental in ceremonial music and symbolic communication, is now known only to a handful of archaeologists, ethnomusicologists, and specialists in cultural heritage (Acquilino & Scavone, 2022; Du & Liang, 2024; Ma, 2024) . Its physical fragility, and limited access to the public, makes direct engagement even more difficult. Museums and research institutions, in their attempts to conservation and education, face the paradox of ancient artefacts needing protection even as they need to be made available for the public to learn. Without robust educational outreach, the Yang Jiao Zhong will, and is, remaining an isolated relic, rather than a tool of cultural understanding and engagement (Good et al., 2019; Liu & Nicolas, 2024; Pe","cbCaiboVCqF5p7HM","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaiboVCqF5p7HM","pdf",370141,11,"English","# Introduction\n## Introduce the Problem\n## The Importance of the Problem\n## Relevant Scholarship","[{\"question\":\"What is the focus of the study on the Yang Jiao Zhong?\",\"answer\":\"The study focuses on educational perspectives for preserving the Yang Jiao Zhong, emphasizing how cultural learning, heritage studies, and interdisciplinary teaching can be applied.\"},{\"question\":\"How was the research conducted?\",\"answer\":\"Qualitative descriptive methods were used, combining field observation, semi-structured expert interviews, and documentary review at a museum in Nanning, Guangxi.\"},{\"question\":\"What educational outcomes are reported for preservation efforts?\",\"answer\":\"The results suggest the instrument can function as an interdisciplinary learning tool, with digital sound modelling and virtual exhibitions improving accessibility and museum workshops supporting experiential learning.\"}]","Educational Perspectives on the Preservation of the Yang Jiao Zhong - Study | PDF",1792042901,28]
