The term "plucked-string instruments" is in fact a generic term. It includes the "plucked string" category, which is played with the fingers or a plectrum, and the "struck-string" category, which is played by hitting the strings with bamboo sticks. Plucked-string instruments have a long history in China, and there are as many as forty types, which add to the rich expressiveness of the genre.
Wind Instruments
This category refers to all instruments which are sounded by passing an airstream through a pipe. It has a long history in China and there are many types. The tones are all different, and the playing techniques also differ. In general, they can be subdivided into the following types: those with the airstream passing through the holes (such as the di, xiao, xun and paixiao); those with a double-reed (such as the suona and the guan); those with a reed (such as the sheng, bawu and hulushi); and those sounded by reverberation of the lips (such as the conch, the ox horn and the brass horn).
Percussion Instruments
Percussion instruments refer to musical instruments that are played by striking them with another object. Chinese percussion instruments have a long history and a sizable variety. They can be used to highlight the rhythm in music and create colourful tonal changes, or can be grouped together in ensemble playing. Percussion ensemble pieces differ in expression as the configuration differs.
