Problem
As we learned when we looked at our page in this module on the pipa, one category of pipa music has to do with military actions or events.
In this case, Ambushed On All Sides is about the battle of two armies more than 2,200 years ago.
Tell me:
1. Why do you think it is valuable to have songs that tell about military events like this?
2. What do you hear in the music that makes it sound like an ambush or like battle?
