Zusammenfassung:'A Contemporary History of the Chinese Zheng' traces the twentieth- and twenty-first-century development of an important Chinese musical instrument in greater China. In the past, the zheng had appeared in small instrumental ensembles and supplied improvised accompaniments to song. Zheng music became a means of nation-building and was eventually promoted as a marker of Chinese identity in Hong Kong. Ann L. Silverberg uses evidence from the greater China area to show how the narrative history of the zheng created on the mainland did not represent zheng music as it had been in the past.
