What is the suona for?

The word "Surna" is actually a transliteration of the original Persian musical instrument.

Suona, also called trumpet, is called advocacy among the people in Taiwan Province Province. In the Western Jin Dynasty (AD 265-420), there were pictures of suona blowing in the murals of Cave 38 of Qizil Grottoes in Xinjiang, and carved images of suona also appeared in Yungang Grottoes excavated in the Northern Wei Dynasty (AD 460-494). According to the Records of Jiaxiang History in Shandong Province, the existing Han stone reliefs unearthed from Wushi Temple and 1977 confirmed that there was a relatively complete advocacy belt in southwest Shandong (between Jining and Heze) as early as 1800 years ago. Suona is not only used for solo, but also for opera, song and dance accompaniment. In ancient times, it was an indispensable instrument for folk weddings, funerals and celebrations, and it is also a very important instrument in Chinese orchestras and folk orchestras now.
