Classification of national musical instruments

Chinese national musical instruments are classified into wind instruments, plucked instruments, percussion instruments and string instruments. The four categories of Chinese national musical instruments have a long history, which fully shows the wisdom of the ancients. These four kinds of musical instruments include most of China's musical instruments, and the ancients also used them to express and vent their emotions. The feeling of music played by various musical instruments is also different.

Chinese national musical instruments can be traced back to a long history. So far, the most ancient flute has a history of more than 8000 years. The ancients began to learn to use musical instruments to express and exchange their thoughts and feelings very early. At the same time, they also showed the ancients' super wisdom and creativity.

The main pronunciation of wind instruments depends on the sound body made of wood or bamboo. Plucked instruments are divided into vertical instruments and horizontal instruments. Percussion instruments have distinct national characteristics in China. String instruments are widely used, such as solo and ensemble.

The music played with national instruments also has different expressive functions. First, it describes practical music, which is often related to folk activities. The second is to express the real feelings with the theme of describing the scenes of real life. The third is to express the feelings of the characters by means of scenery and objects.
