 In 2016, Tang started a project with support from the China National Art Fund to reproduce the sounds of the ancient bone flutes found at the Jiahu village archaeological site in Henan, China.The ancient flutes are the oldest known musical instruments from China, the oldest instruments ever found that are still functional, and among the first known multi-note instruments in the world.Tang and her team created over 30 flutes attempting to reproduce a similar sound, ultimately settling on a replica made of synthetic resin material and bitter bamboo as the best match.
