You made a mistake there? The C major scale goes c-d-e-f-g-a-b-c. In the scale shown, it corresponds more or less to a D minor scale. One would have to play b flat correctly. Looking at the tones as a whole, one can say that all tones are also contained in C major.
This is based on C major - the erhu is missing the low C so it begins on the second degree of the C major scale (D). There are no sharps or flats in the key signature.
The scale you played on erhu is Bb or Gm in theory and on the piano , on erhu is a 1=C and on the piano in chinese notation generally there are no bemol or Sharp as initial key but there is a proper system to change the name of the tonic i.e 1=D is a real D2 on the piano but a conventional C on the erhu. It Is better to speak about Jianpu (简谱) transcrition with notes as numbers. Erhu Is not a complicated instrument but notation may be misunderstood from westeners.
Thank you very much Ms. Chan. Very clear and detail explanations. Now it is a matter of practice, practice.
This kind of lesson was what i was looking...to start with
Thanks so much this was really helpful :)

You have played E b and a Bb a minor scale (Dm that i the relative minir of G major)! The music language cant be confusing!

Pequeña precisión: la escala de la demostración no es do mayor, sino re dorio
So we are basically playing a D dorian scale? C major but starting from second degree?
Yes, C major but starting from second degree.
