Huzuo Fei Art Studio Introduction
Promoting the beauty of Guansi through the sound of the hulusi, the rose-red indoor decor is complemented by pleasant music, creating a relaxed and harmonious atmosphere. The owner of the Huzuo Fei Art Studio, Chen Wen-hsien, previously opened a music classroom at this location but later felt that the format was too serious and rigid, gradually shifting the space towards a more versatile operation focused on musical exchange. Chen has loved music since childhood, starting with the flute in elementary school and delving into traditional Chinese music in university, accumulating 30 years of musical experience. He works as a teacher at a school and also serves as the music director of the "Yuefu Orchestra," specializing in instruments such as the erhu and flute. Huzuo Fei primarily promotes the hulusi, a traditional musical instrument from the border regions of China, known for its unique sound and beautiful appearance, and offers services for instrument painting and production. It also provides a space for music lovers to perform freely, with a no-charge policy that allows students to showcase their talents, effectively creating a small performance venue. Music is no longer taught in a rigid manner but becomes an interactive experience through mutual exchange and appreciation. Chen expresses that returning to his hometown brings complex emotions; due to fewer job opportunities in rural areas, many young people choose to seek work elsewhere. Therefore, he decided to give back to Guansi with his musical experience. At the art studio, you can see Chen quietly creating and cultivating efforts to compose a musical story that belongs to him and Guansi!
