Transported from the oil pipe. Xun is an ancient Chinese national wind instrument. It may have originated from the ancestors who used it to imitate the calls of birds and beasts to trap prey, and then developed into a musical instrument with the progress of culture. The most primitive pottery xun unearthed from the Hemudu site and the Yangshao site have only blow holes but no sound holes. According to literature records, the Xun in the Xia Dynasty had 3 sound holes, which could blow out 4 sound columns. During the Warring States Period, there were 5 sound holes, most of which were flat-bottomed and oval.
