Features: The study of unearthed musical instruments has a relatively long history in China, but it was not until the emergence of modern archaeology in China that it became a major research subject in ancient musical instrument studies or even music archaeology. This research has long been confined to the level of individual studies and has rarely touched upon the essence of the instruments (such as structure, design, performance, and function). After the 1950s, some studies involving groups began to appear sporadically. As for comprehensive research, it remains an area yet to be explored.
