     The discovery was made by Professor Jean-Jacques Eigeldinger.He found this lost piano when he studied the information about French piano maker Camille Pleyel.
     Before Frederic Chopin left England for Paris，he sold the piano to Lady Trotter for 80 pounds.Then Lady Trotter gave the piano to a relative.The piano later went to auction（拍賣）.At auction，it was sold to a man，and Cobbe then bought it from him.Now the antique instruments Cobbe collected include those that were owned or played by famous composers，including Purcell，Bach，Mozart，Mahler and Chopin.

  That is a pity，since these traditional art forms can offer a look into Chinese culture.In addition to shadow puppet shows and paper cutting，today we will take a look at three major art forms.

  Chinese Calligraphy
     Calligraphy refers to the way of writing.It has lasted for more than 2，000 years，and developed into five ways of writing，each with different techniques.Brush pens made from the finest animal hair are used as tools.Today，Chinese calligraphy is still a highly respected and popular art form.Many Chinese school children are sent to learn traditional calligraphy.
