Musical instruments in bronzes, pay attention to which dynasty the musical instruments originated from and prevailed in?

The musical instruments in bronzes belong to percussion instruments. There are bells (chimes), cymbals, cymbals, cymbals, cymbals, cymbals, sentences, shackles and bronze drums. Explain separately.

The earliest bronze bell, which was unearthed in Erlitou tomb in Xia Dynasty, is the earliest bronze bell made of red copper in China. It prevailed from Shang Dynasty to the middle of Western Zhou Dynasty and gradually evolved into a part of harness after the Western Zhou Dynasty.

Followed by bronze cymbals, which have a sequential relationship with the pheasants that appeared later. In other words, the cymbals that appeared in the Shang Dynasty evolved into pheasants in the Western Zhou Dynasty. Bronze cymbals are the metallization of primitive musical instruments, and the earliest existing cultural relics in China are the funerary objects in Muhao's tomb in the middle of Shang Dynasty (Wuding period), generally in groups of three.

Pheasant can be regarded as the further development of pheasant, and its appearance time will not be later than the middle of Western Zhou Dynasty. However, the unearthed objects were later unearthed in the Guo cemetery in Sanmenxia, belonging to the dual-purpose weapon of military music. According to ancient books, the golden bell jar is a bronze pheasant. The time when pheasants are popular in northern and southern China is different. It was popular from the Western Zhou Dynasty to the mid-Spring and Autumn Period, and it also continued in the southern Chu area.

Qi and Zhong are similar, and there are many detailed introductions. They appeared in the late Shang Dynasty, were popular in the Zhou Dynasty, and reached their peak in the early Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period. It basically declined after the Western Han Dynasty.

Bronze sentence: a hand-held percussion instrument, long and narrow in shape, with its mouth facing upward when used, and struck with a mallet. The inscription on the surviving sentence contains the content of "casting a sentence with auspicious gold to enjoy filial piety" It can be seen that it is a musical instrument for feasting and sacrifice, belonging to another variant of bronze cymbals, which was mainly popular in wuyue during the Spring and Autumn Period.

Bronze is a military musical instrument. "Mandarin Today" says: "War is to settle down and respect its people." Another official, Zhou Li, drummed people: "Drumming with gold." Zheng Xuan's Note: "It is based on it."

Bronze Drum: Drummer of Zhou Li Imperial Crown: "Teach the sound of six drums and four golds to save vocal music and serve the field with the army." It can be seen that drums are often used in music and dance, banquets and wars. In Shang and Zhou Dynasties, drums were made of wood. The bronze drums found at present belong to the Shang Dynasty, and there are only two sides: one side lives in Japan; On the other side is 1977 newly unearthed in Chongyang, Hubei. The main features of these two kinds of drums are horizontal double-sided drums with four feet or rectangular feet. At present, a large number of bronze drums come from Guangxi and Yunnan minority areas in the southwest of China. They are all round single-sided drums, which are composed of drum surface, drum body, drum waist and drum feet. The waist of the drum is often tied with a ring, and the drum surface is often decorated with embossed people and animals.
