Hole-blowing instrument . An ancient Chinese horizontally blown bamboo wind instrument.

According to records in "Zhou Li? Zheng Xuan's Notes", Chen Yang's "Book of Music" and other books, it is said that the chi is a horizontally blown bamboo wind instrument with 6 holes (including the upper hole) and a closed bottom. Judging from the two large and small horizontally blown bamboo wind instruments unearthed from the tomb of Zeng Houyi in the early Warring States Period, they are similar to the characteristics of the chi described in the literature, but are different from the flute. Therefore, as late as the Han Dynasty, the chi and the flute should be similar instruments with similar pronunciation but different shapes.

The shape of the chi has also changed slightly as it spreads. According to annotation by Guo Pu from Jin Dynasty in "Erya Shiyue", by the late Jin Dynasty, its blowing hole had been changed to a higher tube. The "Qiao" (later so-called "prosthetic mouth") with a body length of 1 inch and 3 minutes (about 4.3 centimeters) is played. The other shapes have not changed yet. Documents record that almost all the chisels used in the Song and Ming Dynasties were of this shape.

Chiyuan is a folk musical instrument. As early as the Zhou Dynasty, it was often played together with Xun. During the Warring States Period, it was used as a member of the large-scale palace orchestra, together with chimes, chimes, drums, flutes (panpipes), sheng, zither, etc., and was played during worship of gods or banquets. Xianghe singing bands in the Han and Wei dynasties also sometimes used it. During the Six Dynasties, with the rise of Qing Shang music, it became the main accompaniment instrument for Wu Sheng. During the Sui and Tang Dynasties, it was a member of the most artistic Qingyue band at that time. After the Song Dynasty, it was gradually lost because it was mainly used for court elegant music.

The method of playing Chi can be seen from the wooden figurines of the Han Dynasty tomb in Yangjiawan, Changsha and the stone portraits of Yuanhe and Zhanghe of the Han Dynasty (83-87 AD) in Wuyang, Shandong Province. When playing, it is possible to use both hands. With the palm of your hand facing inward, place the palm between your thumb and index finger. The blow hole and the sound hole are 180° upward. Press the 1, 2, and 3 holes with the index, middle, and ring fingers of your left hand respectively. Press the 4 and 4 holes with the middle and index fingers of your right hand. 5 two holes.

Judging from the sound measurement results of the Chi made by the tomb of Marquis Yi of Zeng, the performance of the Chi can be played using the simplest fingering method, with 6 tones of,,,,,, that is, a complete pentatonic tone. Add an inflection to the scale. According to literature, the Chi in the Song and Ming dynasties used half-hole fingering to play the full twelve rhythms. Whether the half-hole fingering method was used in Chi before the Song Dynasty is still difficult to determine because there is no conclusive evidence.
