厨子和戏子

**厨子和戏子 (The Chef and The Actor)**

This Nanjing-based indie folk duo, formed in 2016, mixes traditional Chinese storytelling with modern folk-rock vibes. Composed of vocalist Qin Yuxuan and multi-instrumentalist Tong Senqiao, their music leans into historical themes and literary flair, like their epic track “刺秦·上” (*Assassinating Qin Pt. 1*), which reimagines ancient tales with gritty guitars and haunting melodies. Their name—literally “The Chef and The Actor”—hints at their blend of everyday life and dramatic artistry, a vibe that shines in releases like the earthy “三碗不过岗” (*Three Bowls Can’t Pass the Ridge*) and the introspective “家和万事兴” (*Family Harmony Brings Prosperity*).

Known for weaving guzheng and xiao into their soundscapes, 厨子和戏子 craft songs that feel both timeless and fresh. Tracks like “无归” (*No Return*) and “高船涨水” (*High Boat, Rising Water*) showcase their knack for pairing poetic lyrics with folk-rock energy, making them standouts in China’s indie scene. Whether riffing on classic literature or spinning modern-day stories, these two keep their roots grounded while reaching for something bigger.
