In the early period, there was a blow hole at the top of Cuan, some of which had no sound holes, while others had 1-2 sound holes. In the late Shang Dynasty, there were five Xun according to the sound hole. After the Shang Dynasty, Wuyin KongHong has always been the mainstream of Cuan, while in the Qing Dynasty, Wuyin KongHong was still maintained. After the founding of new China, musicians and performers created nine holes, ten holes and fifteen holes Cuan, which were deeply loved by people, and made Cuan, a treasure of Chinese culture, inherit and develop in the long history.
