In Taiwan and several places I've seen in the PRC, the most common medium is
a combination of soft pumice and something akin to tree fern. It's
constantly moist but airy.

I have always grown them in semi-hydroponics for that reason, and they do
great! (I always kept them too dry or rotted the roots in bark.)

I just purchase two Chinese cymibidium from a local vendor who might
have imported from Taiwan. One is an ensifolium and the other a
sinense. Both are in spagnum moss only in a tall pot. I am a little
uncomfortable with moss alone as the medium. Can anyone give me
advice or should I repot them both in a bark mix which I am more
comfortable with? Thanks.
