Immerse yourself in the spirit of Spring Festival with the enchanting sounds of the stone panpipe from the Spring and Autumn Period (770-476 BC). Crafted from a single slab of white marble, it features 13 tubes of varying lengths, arranged in descending order. With tube walls just 1 mm thick, it remains playable today, producing clear tones.
Unearthed in 1978 in Xichuan county, Nanyang city, Henan province, this rare stone panpipe is one of the earliest examples of its kind. Now housed at Henan Museum, it showcases the exceptional musical culture of ancient China.
