埙的介绍（Introduction of Xun）

        “埙”是中国最古老的乐器之一，有7000多年的历史，在中国古代很流行。“埙”一般是由陶土烧制而成的。它的音色和人类的声音类似。相传“埙”起源于一种叫做"石流星"的狩猎工具。古时候，人们常常用绳子系上一个石球或者泥球，投出去击打鸟兽。有的球体中间是空的，抡起来一兜风能发出声音。后来人们觉得挺好玩，就拿来吹，于是这种石流星就慢慢地演变成了“埙”。随着社会的变迁，“埙”的音孔从原本的一个音孔发展成十一个的音孔，并能够演奏各种曲子。“埙”的种类很多，除了传统的卵形埙，还有葫芦埙、握埙、鸳鸯埙、子母埙、牛头埙、笔筒埙 等多种类型。

        Xun is one of the oldest musical instruments found so far in China with a history of more than 7,000 years and it is believed very popular in ancient China. Generally said that Xun is made of clay. It can produce sound with a tamber similar to humans’ voices. Xun originated from a hunting tool called "shicheng hammer". In ancient times, people often tied a stone ball or mud ball with a rope and threw it to hit the birds and animals. Some spheres are empty in the middle, it could make a sound when a hunter threw it. People thought it was really fun, so they took it to blow, so this kind of stone meteor slowly evolved into Xun. With the development of society, the hole of the Xun was developed from a hole to 11 holes and it was able to play various types of music. There are many shapes of the traditional Xun, including the traditional ovate shape, gourd shape, niutou shape, pears shape and so on.

        “The sound of Xun'' a piece of distant and sorrowful music that bears much of rich emotions of the ancient people, just like the pulse of the earth and the sadness of life hidden in the music to tell you a story of these thousand years. Xun’s sound is like releasing sadness in the autumn, it shows a hazy scene but with artistic sight at the same time. It seems like time has passed by a bit and shows those feelings of sorrow. The sound of Xun was taking me into a pair of autumn leaves, bright golden scenery and the ancient country in late autumn，it is rich in poetical. The sound of Xun always makes people have a sense of space and time barrier, but it also seems to cross the space-time wandering in the autumn. It brings with it the feeling of love and misses in these thousands of years as well. Xun’s sound perfectly embodies the "spirit of harmony", a traditional Chinese musical instrument. It revealed in a pure voice like sounds of nature and the philosophy of "harmony”.The soothing and peaceful tone of the Xun has reflected the value of harmony in Confucian’s values. Whether in modern or ancient times, the voice of Xun will be carrying up the emotions and thoughts generation by generation in future.
