One can easily recognize ancient Chinese music by their distinct tunes. This is regarded as one of the oldest forms of traditional music. Many instruments still in use is proof of the commitment in the people to safe-guard their tradition and culture. Some of these instruments have since been modified. Musical instruments are classified as wind, string or percussion instruments. The material they are made of includes bamboo, clay, metal or wood.
Amongst the first instruments made was 'flute'. 'Dizi' is a variety in the flute category made out of bamboo which is still used to generate traditional music. Some stories claim that this musical instrument was conceptualized by the Yellow Emperor, while others believe that it was imported when the Hun dynasty ruled China.
'Qin' is another variety which was associated with many renowned scholars and the Chinese philosopher, Confucius. It is since used during rituals and regarded as symbol denoting high culture.
'Pipa' was an instrument which generated melodies in olden times. While this came in to use under Qin rule, it flourished in Tang dynasty.
'Ruan' is believed to have been made almost 2000 years back by the 7 sages of 'Bamboo Grove'. The newer version has a slightly different structure.
'Zhu' was a percussion instrument which is non existent now. People believe that sound was generated by either plucking or by bouncing a stick on the string.
'Muyu' or wooden fish has legends linked to it. This is usually used by monks' during rituals.
'Yumluo' is a musical instrument with gongs. The ancient version is believed to have had 5 gongs while the modern version has almost 29 gongs.

Ancient Chinese Coinage $70.1 Chinese coins were produced continuously for around 2,500 years by casting in moulds, rather than being struck with dies as with most western coins. Collectors can obtain affordable yet old, beautiful, and interesting coins associated with all the main periods of Chinese history. Many appreciate the fine calligraphy and the patina accumulated by these coins over the centuries. Numismatists find many challenges in attributing both ancient and comparatively recent coinage. The rise and fall of the quality of the coinage reflects the fortunes of the successive dynasties in Chinese history.

Ancient Chinese Thought, Modern Chinese Power $29.95 The rise of China could be the most important political development of the twenty-first century. What will China look like in the future? What should it look like? And what will China's rise mean for the rest of world? This book, written by China's most influential foreign policy thinker, sets out a vision for the coming decades from China's point of view. In the West, Yan Xuetong is often regarded as a hawkish policy advisor and enemy of liberal internationalists. But a very different picture emerges from this book, as Yan examines the lessons of ancient Chinese political thought for the future of China and the development of a "Beijing consensus" in international relations. Yan, it becomes clear, is neither a communist who believes that economic might is the key to national power, nor a neoconservative who believes that China should rely on military might to get its way. Rather, Yan argues, political leadership is the key to national power, and morality is an essential part of political leadership. Economic and military might are important components of national power, but they are secondary to political leaders who act in accordance with moral norms, and the same holds true in determining the hierarchy of the global order. Providing new insights into the thinking of one of China's leading foreign policy figures, this book will be essential reading for anyone interested in China's rise or in international relations. |
