What are the musical instruments of different dynasties in the long history?

The ancient culture of China is extensive and profound, and there are many kinds of musical instruments in China. So when did these instruments come, and what's the story behind them?

The chime is a very old musical instrument, and now it is one of the cultural relics of the museum. Few people can play. Chimes rose in the Xia Dynasty. Chimes are made of bronze and classified according to their pitch. This is how the chimes we saw on TV were arranged. Musicians use mallets or long sticks to make beautiful music. The chime can be said to be a huge musical instrument. It is composed of large and small bronze bells, which may be too heavy to pass down. Chimes were very popular in the Spring and Autumn Period, Qin and Han Dynasties, and were also a symbol of imperial status.

The second musical instrument is pipa, which was very popular in the Qin Dynasty. It was not called pipa at that time, but an early image of pipa. Later, a musical instrument was introduced from the western regions, which was very similar to the pipa, so someone combined the two instruments and finally formed the pipa. Pipa has been very popular since then, because of its small and beautiful shape, it has been sought after by many people. In the Tang Dynasty, it was another peak of pipa popularization. Bai Juyi's Pipa Journey records the music and famous sentences of pipa in past dynasties? However, before she came to us, we shouted a thousand times and urged her a thousand times, but she still hid half of her face behind the guitar from us? It can be seen that pipa was a very popular musical instrument at that time.

The third instrument is the drum, which is a percussion instrument. The history of drums is very long, about 5000 years. There are many kinds of drums, and each region has its own drum with its own characteristics. Drum is not only a musical instrument, but also used to inspire soldiers in ancient times. When fighting, beat drums to boost morale. Drums almost appeared in ancient times. They are loud and powerful, and they are the symbol of our Chinese nation.
