Chinese instrumental music is played solo or in small ensembles of plucked and bowed strings, flutes, cymbals and various percussion. Bamboo flutes and guzheng are among the oldest instruments known and a set of ancient Chinese bells has recently been updated. The instruments are traditionally divided according to their material composition: skin, gourd, bamboo, wood, silk, clay, metal and stone. Traditional orchestras Chinese consist of bowed strings, winds wooden, stringed and percussion. The oldest piece on the music is attributed to Confucius. It was under the Tang Dynasty that came to us a rich literature on Chinese music.
In ancient China, the status of musicians was much lower than that of painters since the worship of the written word characteristic of Chinese culture. Music theory was not developed for this very reason, although almost every emperor had studied music seriously. Officers were sent to collect folk music to measure the mood of the people. One of the Confucian classics, the Classic of Poetry, contained many folk songs dating from 800-300 BC.
Examples of Chinese flutes:
The Bangda Chinese (pictured) is a small family of flute dizi. The instrument has two octaves plus a few notes. This is an important instrument in Chinese opera. It is also found as a solo instrument in northern China.

It is a bamboo instrument played in a transverse with free metal reeds set in a piece of bone that serves as a mouthpiece. It has seven finger holes and measures 60 inches long. It is often made with a cork gasket for easy transport.

The Pagodas of China
In China, the pagoda in the center of the great Buddhist temples, presented, In addition, other benefits and uses. She served for example, very simply, observation tower, see far is motivation enough. The possibility that the building offered to monitor the movements of enemies is also an asset. Finally its great size, sea and river, the temple served as a reference point: piers or bridges nearby. Composed of several storeys, built in brick, stone and brick, devoid of Shinbashi (term to be defined later), pagodas have an interior space with wide access to the floors by stairs. In the Han period (25-220) until the Qing Dynasty (1644-1911), they are highly religious function, serving as a place of worship and place of preservation of relics in the Middle Kingdom, which did not prevent the Chinese from be used as an observatory, as was the case for example for the octagonal pagoda Liaodi.
Sub Han, ancient pagodas were like most buildings of the era of wood. Unfortunately, the wood catches fire easily, wood rot and could also be destroyed by insects. This is why a number of them have survived. By cons in an earthquake, it is Wooden pagodas that resisted the best: while those masonry showed little stable. The wooden pagodas are present in Japan with one exception: The Sakyamuni Pagoda Temple Fogong, the 11th century and 67 meters high, the only all-wood structure still existing in China.
Replace wood with brick and stone pagodas made more fire resistant. The use of these materials has helped to reduce the size of eaves because the brick has a relatively low flexural and shear. China is found most brick pagodas. Note we also find a few more pagodas bronze, iron, ceramic or made of bricks and glazed tiles in China.
The octagonal pagoda Liaodi (which means "Observing the enemy") of 1055 of Kaiyuan Temple in Dingzhou (Northern China) 84 meters high, totaling 11 floors are built of masonry. Typically Chinese, it is the tallest ancient pagodas still existing. The eaves are made of layers of bricks are short. A staircase is located in the central part, and the pagoda has real doors and windows.
Coming from India, the pagoda, as the Buddhism has spread from the second century China, then Korea and Japan. The pagoda as we know it is an evolution of the Indian stupa, that is to say, a kind of burial where sacred relics could be venerated and protected. The shape of the Indian stupa by cons - begging bowl back, which later evolves into a half-sphere - has greatly diversified during its spread in Asia, to present, as is the case of the pagoda, a architecture that no longer possesses any of the features of the stupa.

paper, a Chinese invention
The secret of making paper quality will remain Chinese (and Japanese) to the eighth century. At the Battle of Talas in 751, legend has it that the Arabs, victorious, made prisoners of many Chinese and recovered the secret. It is likely that they knew the use of paper well before that date and they used it themselves after well starched and polished. They quickly realize the value of this new medium to propagate Islam, and Samarkand will be the first production center in the Muslim world. Otherwise they will improve manufacturing by incorporating its preparation rags. The paper will arrive later then in the West with the Arab conquests.
China is the origin paper. The paper carried a message the oldest known to date, was also discovered in China and is dated from -8 BC, Dynasty Western Han (-206 BC-25 AD) . This is a fragment of a letter which paper is made from flax fibers, on which a score of old sinograms have been deciphered. It was found in 2006 in Dunhuang, in Gansu Province, and was dated in terms of other written documents found in the same location of the search.
According to Chinese tradition, it was thought that the paper had appeared in the third century BC, during the reign of Qin Shi Huang (founder of the Qin Dynasty). Telling a story that people would then have spotted the white deposits of foam on the rocks following the floods and have tried to reproduce it.
According to another Chinese tradition, this is Cai Lun, minister of agriculture, at 105, would have codified for the first time the art of manufacturing paper and would have improved technology to mass produce it.
