Jamunian is a plucked musical instrument popular among Tibetans. Jamunian has a long history, and there are different opinions about its origin.
There is a popular myth and legend among the Tibetan folk. In ancient times, Tibet was still a vast ocean. The waves rose and fell regularly, and the sound of the waves spread rhythmically to the distance. .
One day, out of the sea, a wonderful sound goddess with a Jamunian in her hand came out. She sang and danced while playing the Jamunian in her hand. The father of Miaoyin Tiannv is the god of the sky, and her mother is the sea. She is also called the daughter of the sea. She not only loves poetry and literature, but also has high attainments in music and art. The Tibetan people love her very much. Therefore, Jamunian is also deeply loved by the people.
Involving musical instruments
Zhamunian (pinyin: zhā mù nián) has a long history and different origins. It evolved from a multi-stringed musical instrument introduced to Tibet from ancient India. According to the records of the "Tibetan Wangtongji" in Genyu, Songtsan Gampo once gave a banquet. There are records of artists playing musical instruments, and it is judged that Jamunian was introduced to Tibet from the mainland in the Tang Dynasty, and has a history of more than 1,000 years. However, most Tibetan scholars believe that Jamunie originated in Tibet and was a musical instrument created by the Tibetans themselves.
