What is the earliest musical instrument discovered in China so far? Unearthed at that site? How many notes can you play?

China's national musical instruments can be divided into: gold (bell), stone (chime), earth (flute), silk (harp), leather (drum), musical instrument (sheng), wood (castanet) and bamboo (flute).

Among them, the earliest clock found at present was unearthed in the tomb of Ceng Houyi (Zeng Guo in the Spring and Autumn Period more than two thousand years ago). See details.

Qing and Yu He were found among human remains in the Neolithic Age (56000 BC). For example, the stone tools upstairs have a hole in them, and the knocking sound is the chin of primitive humans.

Furthermore, Yayue, the earliest stringed instrument, was unearthed in Xinjiang with a history of about 2,000 years. According to the music records of China Sui Shu, elegance is "from the western regions, not an ancient Chinese musical instrument". Music history experts believe that Confucius originated in Central Asia and was introduced to the Central Plains via Xinjiang. Around 200 AD, vertical baskets were introduced to China with the contact of Persian merchants on the Silk Road, and to the Central Plains around 400 AD. This instrument has been described in Yungang Grottoes in Shanxi. For details, please see
