Abstract: The Yang Jiao Zhong, an ancient Chinese bronze instrument embodying both musical and ritual significance. The research aims to investigate the educational perspectives on the preservation of the Yang Jiao Zhong, a Chinese bronze instrument. Conducted at the Guangxi Zhuang Nationality Museum in Nanning, Guangxi, China, the study employed a qualitative descriptive method integrating field observation, semi-structured expert interviews, and documentary review. Five key informant experts in folk music, bronze instruments, digital audio technology, sound education, and spatial aesthetics provided insights into the instrument's historical value, sound preservation, and pedagogical applications. Data were analyzed thematically to interpret educational implications within cultural, technological, and pedagogical dimensions. The results revealed that the Yang Jiao Zhong serves as an interdisciplinary learning tool that connects history, music, and digital technology. Digital sound modelling and virtual exhibitions enhance accessibility, while museum-based workshops foster experiential learning and cultural empathy. The study concludes that integrating digital heritage tools and museum-based learning into curricula transforms ancient artefacts into dynamic educational resources. It recommends collaborative partnerships among museums, universities, and technology centers to promote sustainable preservation and curriculum innovation. This research underscores how education not only safeguards tangible heritage but also revitalizes cultural identity through creative engagement and cross-disciplinary learning.
