Inkstone, a musical instrument made of clay, sounds sad and far away. The history of this tomb can be traced back to the Neolithic Age. At present, the oldest tombs have been found in China, one of which was used by Hemudu aborigines in Hangzhou Bay, Zhejiang Province 7000 years ago, and the other two were unearthed in the matriarchal social site of Xi 'an banpo village. These two cymbals have a history of about 6700 years. They are the only musical instruments made of soil, which is said to be related to the soil and the soul of the land. It's also about men. Men who brag generally feel cold. Yan's timbre is deep, sad, mournful and endless, with unique musical quality. Perhaps it is this special timbre that gave Lu and Lu a sacred, elegant, mysterious and noble spiritual temperament in their long-term artistic feelings and comparisons.
Earth musical instruments, the earth musical instruments in China's Eight Tones, mainly have two kinds, one is Yi (xūn) and the other is Fu (fǒu). Yan is a wind instrument, which appeared as early as the primitive society. The origin of forest is related to the labor and production activities of ancestors. It turns out that ancestors may have imitated the sounds of birds and animals to trap prey. With the progress of society, it is regarded as a simple musical instrument, and gradually increases the sound hole (referred to as sound hole), and develops into a melodic instrument that can play tunes.
In primitive society, there were many kinds of utensils. The pottery pier of Hemudu site in Yuyao County, Zhejiang Province is oval, with only air holes and no sound holes, about 7000 years ago. Tao Di in Yangshao Cultural Site, banpo village, Xi, Shaanxi, looks like an olive with only one air hole. It is made of fine mud, which is one of the original forms of graves about 6000 years ago. Three pottery pots were unearthed from Jingcun Site in Wanrong County, Shanxi Province. One pottery pot has two sound holes (illustrations of China Music History Ⅰ-22 to Ⅰ-26). Neolithic pottery was found in Yaoguanzhuang in Weifang, Guandong in Yuanqu, fengcun in Yuanqu, Yijing Village in Taiyuan, Dahe Village in Zhengzhou, Henan, Wang Yang Temple Site in Anhui and Dadunzi Site in Pixian, Jiangsu, belonging to different primitive cultural regions.
Clay with pure soil and no sand and gravel impurities should be used to make pottery pots, and the color is not limited, and it can be red, yellow or black soil. Add clear water into clay, stir and knead repeatedly to make a mud block with moderate hardness, and then knead, shape, slice, polish and calcine it. Professor Cao Zheng of China Conservatory of Music has accumulated rich experience in making antique pottery urns since 1930s. From 1979, Professor Chen Zhong of Tianjin Conservatory of Music developed a nine-hole pottery urn. About 1980, Mr. Zhao Liangshan developed the fingering of playing fu, and at the same time made a breakthrough in playing semitone, which was really a great event. In 2002, the Central National Orchestra played Hu Qu in Vienna Golden Hall, which marked the maturity of Hu's creation and performance. It also shows the world the ancient culture and long history of China.
