Chang'an Fantasy tells a story that took place in the city of Chang'an in the Tang Dynasty. People and demons with the same faces gathered in the magnificent Chang'an city. Day and night became the interface of two worlds. People could not distinguish various creatures. The performers dress in Tang Dynasty costumes and use flute, zheng, drums, qin and udu to play the scene of the gathering of everything in Chang'an. The bamboo flute is an ancient Chinese wind instrument of the Han ethnic group; the Zheng is an ancient Chinese traditional plucked instrument; the drum is a percussion instrument; the qin is one of the oldest plucked instruments in China; the udu was originally from Nigeria and was used to store or transport food.
