Pingxin Xu

About the artist

Xu Pingxin (Chinese: 徐平心) is a Yangqin player. Born in North-east China (known at the time as Manchuria) in 1961, he started public performances at the age of seven. Taught by his father to play the Yang Qin (hammered dulcimer), he had to overcome great odds in being accepted into the Central Conservatoire of Music (China) in 1974, due to his family not being part of the communist party. He later went on to the China Conservatoire of Music where he graduated with a BA degree in 1983.
