What are the Chinese national orchestral instruments? (the more the better, names with pictures)

As early as two thousand years ago, during the Shang and Zhou Dynasties, the classification of musical instruments appeared in China, which is the earliest classification of musical instruments in the world, indicating the development of musical instruments at that time. After thousands of years of development, Chinese musical instruments have been greatly enriched, and various types of musical instruments of different shapes and sizes have been formed, applying different methods of playing and forming different voices. These include plucked instruments, wind instruments, bowed string instruments and percussion instruments. The first category can also be divided into the second and third levels according to different principles. The form of the Chinese national orchestra is based on these instruments. There are many types of instrumental ensemble music circulating throughout China. Each - type of ensemble music uses a special orchestra formation to form a different orchestra. The different orchestra compositions are an important basis for distinguishing different instrumental ensembles. According to Chinese traditional music theory, Chinese folk instrumental ensembles can be divided into five categories, namely, stringed music, silk and bamboo music, drumming and blowing music, blowing and beating music and percussion music.
