Bai Juyi, the master poet, vividly depicted the performance like this: rapid and soft notes mingled were just like big and small pearls dropping onto the jade plates.Īfterwards, the pipa underwent improvement in playing techniques and structure. Many well known writers and poets created poems and mentioned it in their works. It was loved by everyone-from the royal court to the common folk-and it occupied the predominant place in the orchestra. By the the Tang Dynasty (618 - 907), the pipa had reached its summit. Originally named after the loquat fruit, the earliest pipa known was found to have been made in the Qin Dynasty (221 BC – 206 BC). From then on, people loved this instrument and composed many songs for it. The lad followed the horse's advice and when he finished, the fiddle produced an extremely vivid sound. In the dream, the horse told Su He to make a fiddle from wood and the hair of a horse's tail, and to carve the head of the fiddle in the shape of a horse's head. The cruel duke shot the horse dead, and Su He grieved so much that he met his horse in a dream. The Mongolian people bestowed upon their beloved horse-headed fiddle a fantastic legend: during horse-racing at the Nadam Fair - their featured grand festival-a hero, Su He, and his white horse ran the fastest, which incurred the envy and wrath of the duke. Its wide tonal range and deep, hazy tone color express the joy or pathos of a melody to its fullest. With a history of over 1,300 years, it even influenced European string music when Marco Polo brought one back from his travels through Asia. The Horse-headed fiddle is a bowed stringed-instrument with a scroll carved like a horse's head.
Dizi produced in southern Chinese regions such as Chaozhou are often made of very slender, lightweight, light-colored bamboo and are much quieter in tone. Northern Chinese dizi are made from purple or violet bamboo, while dizi made in Suzhou and Hangzhou are made from white bamboo. However, "bamboo" is perhaps more of a Chinese instrument classification like "woodwind" in the West. Most dizi are made of bamboo, which explains why dizi are sometimes known by simple names such as Chinese bamboo flute. Traditionally, the dizi has also been popular among the Chinese common people, and it is simple to make and easy to carry. The dizi is a major Chinese musical instrument, and is widely used in many genres of Chinese folk music, as well as Chinese opera, and the modern Chinese orchestra. Nonetheless, dizi seems to be the most common name (and written form) used in the West. These names are likely to have multiple spellings, too, depending on the transliteration used to convert from Chinese names. It is also sometimes known as the di or hengdi, and has varieties including the qudi and bangdi. The dizi, is a Chinese transverse flute. Traditional Chinese musical instruments can be divided into four categories: stringed instruments, percussion instruments, plucked instruments, and wind instruments.
