Abstract
The study of light hadrons is central to the understanding of confinement--a unique property of QCD. The quark model describs mesons as bound states of quarks and antiquarks. LQCD and QCD-motivated models for hadrons, however, predict a richer spectrum of mesons that takes into account not only the quark degrees of freedom but also the gluonic degrees of freedom. A selection of recent progress in the light-quark sector with unprecedented high-statistics data sets from experiments are reviewed.
