Suona Paixiao and other musical instruments belong to traditional wind instruments.

Suona is a traditional double reed woodwind instrument in China. As early as the 3rd century AD, with the opening of the Silk Road, suona was introduced to China from Eastern Europe and West Asia. It is a member of the oboe family in the world. After thousands of years of development, suona has its unique temperament and timbre, and has become a representative national wind instrument in China.

Paixiao is to arrange several sound pipes of the same material in order from long to short or from short to long, and connect them side by side. The bottom of the pipeline is completely blocked with plugs to form an independent blowpipe. When playing, air flows into the pipe, which can produce different tones.
