On the Origin and Introduction of Musical Instruments

Musical instrument is a spiritual property that human beings have had for a long time, and it is constantly enriched with the progress of human beings. From archaeological excavations, murals and rock paintings, it can be seen that hunting and rounding up, signal transmission, praying to gods, fighting and cheering or celebrating dances are all closely related to pronunciation tools or rhythmic sounds.

There are three theories about the development of musical instruments:

① German musician C. Sachs analyzed the distribution of unearthed cultural relics from the perspective of archaeology, and thought that the first stage was mainly noise devices such as vibrators and whistles; The second stage is drums, trumpets and plucked strings; Musical instruments such as xylophone and flute appeared in the third stage.

(2) T.F.R Ubosum, a British scholar, thought that drums came first, then flutes, and finally plucked instruments appeared.

(3) Austrian music theorist R Valasek opposes the view that music originated from language and agrees that music originated from rhythm and dance. He believes that the flute instrument is the earliest, and later formed singing and drum instruments.
