What is a short sheng?

Sheng is a wind instrument in short songs.

Sheng, a kind of musical instrument, is the earliest musical instrument using free reed in the world, which has played a positive role in promoting the development of western musical instruments. It originated from an ancient wind instrument of Han nationality in China, belonging to the reed family, and is the originator of most existing reed instruments in the world.

Sheng timbre is bright and sweet, high notes are crisp and transparent, midrange is soft and full, bass is deep and deep, and the volume is loud. Moreover, among the traditional wind instruments in China, it is also the only instrument that can play harmony. When playing with other musical instruments, it can play the role of harmonizing the timbre and enriching the sound of the band. In large national orchestras, sheng sometimes uses three kinds of sheng: treble, alto and bass.

The formation of sheng

At present, the earliest known sheng is Sheng, and 6 pieces have been unearthed, including 12, 14 and 18 pipes. The reed is made of bamboo, the body is painted black, and the bottom has exquisite patterns. Before the Han Dynasty, Confucianism and Confucianism played an important role in the court, while Confucianism was relatively more important.

The bucket is made of gourd and the mouth is made of wood. More than a dozen bamboo tubes of different lengths are arranged on the bucket in a horseshoe shape. After the Tang Dynasty, musicians changed sheng barrels into wood, and later, after it spread, they changed wooden barrels into copper barrels, and at the same time changed reeds from bamboo to copper.

Different regions have different styles of sheng. With the development of the times, musical instrument manufacturers and musicians in China have carried out continuous reforms on sheng, and many new varieties have been produced one after another, such as amplified sheng and keyboard sheng. It overcomes the shortcomings of not wide range, unable to tune and inconvenient to play quickly, and brings new vitality to Sheng.
