EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, dated 1895, showcases a diverse array of Chinese musical instruments that have captivated audiences for centuries. The selection includes a bell (1), a gong (2), and a set of cymbals (4), which are percussion instruments that produce resonant, metallic tones. In the foreground, we find the guqin or seven-stringed zither (7), a renowned ancient Chinese instrument known for its mellow and melodic sound. Next to it, a pipa or four-stringed lute (8) rests, its pear-shaped body and long neck evoking a sense of elegance and refinement. The moon-shaped lute, or yueqin (11), is also present, with its distinctive curved body and two bridges. The shamisen (10), a three-stringed instrument with a banjo-like body, is depicted in the lower right corner. The erhu or spike fiddle (13), a two-stringed bowed instrument, is shown next to it. Two additional instruments, the yang-qin, also known as the yangkin or Chinese dulcimer (14), and the xiao or flute (15), are nestled among the other instruments. Lastly, the sheng (21), a free-reed wind instrument, is positioned at the top of the photograph, its bamboo pipes and bellows creating a complex and intriguing sound. This photograph offers a glimpse into the rich musical heritage of China and Asia, showcasing the beauty and diversity of its traditional instruments. Each of these instruments has a unique history and cultural significance, contributing to the vibrant and captivating world of Chinese music.
