The first musical instrument in the world to use free reeds was the sheng. The sheng is an ancient reed wind instrument with a long history and was widely used in the court, folk and other occasions in ancient China. The free spring of the sheng is made of materials such as bamboo and copper, and the sound is produced by blowing and inhaling. Compared with other musical instruments, the free reed of the sheng has a wider range of expressive power and richer acoustic effects, so it occupies an important place in the history of the sheng.
The sheng is widely used in Chinese tradition, folk, opera and other fields, and is also one of the representative musical instruments in traditional Chinese musical instruments. With the development of the times, Sheng is also constantly reforming and innovating to meet the needs of modern times. Nowadays, the sheng has become one of the representatives of Chinese national musical instruments, which is not only widely welcomed and respected in China, but also widely recognized and praised on the international stage.
For the sake of Sheng's historical origins, we need to go back to distant antiquity. The origin of the sheng can be traced back to the slave society period in ancient China, that is, before the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period. During this period, the sheng was mainly popular in the court and upper class society, becoming an elegant musical instrument. With the passage of time, the sheng gradually spread to the people and became one of the favorite musical instruments of the masses. In the process of long-term evolution, the shape and production materials of sheng are constantly changing and improving.
Nowadays, the sheng has become a treasure among traditional Chinese musical instruments, and its charm lies not only in its long history and unique production process, but also in its ability to express the charm and connotation of traditional Chinese culture.
