At 7:00 PM local time on February 6, 2025, the melodious tones of the Jiahu bone flute, renowned as "China's earliest flute", resonated through Hall 1 of the UNESCO headquarters in Paris, France. The "Spring Festival Overture" performed by reconstructed musical artifacts of Huaxia Ancient Music Orchestra from Henan Museum kicked off the "Our Spring Festival" evening event. This event was jointly organized by the Permanent Delegation of China to UNESCO and Henan TV, in which the Huaxia Ancient Music Orchestra from Henan Museum was invited to perform, bringing the melodious echoes of Chinese history to the grand stage of the world. Ambassadors from over 70 countries to UNESCO, international friends, and an audience of more than 600 people gathered to witness this audio-visual feast that integrated traditional culture with modern creativity.

The "Spring Festival Overture" recreated by the Huaxia Ancient Music Orchestra used the Jiahu bone flute, with its 8,000-year history, as the prelude, symbolizing the profound depth of Chinese civilization.

The Huaxia ancient music, demonstrating a millennia in their performances, continues to evolve by combining the old with the new. Using ancient instruments and music as a medium, it helps to sustain and spread traditional Chinese culture. The thousand-year-old music from the land of rites and music is telling China's story and spreading China's voice in its own unique way.
