The documentary "Chinese Musical Instruments" was jointly planned and recorded by Shanghai Radio and Television Art and Humanities Channel and Shanghai Ethnic Musical Instrument Factory. The film showcases the past and present of traditional Chinese instruments such as the guzheng, pipa, erhu, flute, and guqin through rich and vivid audio-visual language. This article takes the film as the research object, analyzes the text content and visual presentation form, explores the historical evolution, humanistic sentiment, and production process of traditional Chinese musical instruments. This article is divided into three parts: selection of materials and exploration of music culture, presentation of images and recognition of music culture, dissemination of images and inheritance of music culture. These three parts closely link the audio-visual language of the film with traditional Chinese music culture, exploring and analyzing the role and significance of audio-visual language in the dissemination and inheritance of traditional culture.
