Abstract
- The article focuses on the discovery of musical instruments in the fifth century BCE tomb of Marquis Yi of Zeng in Suizhou, China. It says that the opening of the tomb did not only restore to China some of its oldest surviving musical instruments, but it also provides earliest reliable, detailed writings on musicology, and music systems. It notes that it pushed the history of Chinese music back to ancient times. It also discusses the discovery of the tomb in the winter of 1977.
