A brief introduction to the production techniques of national musical instruments (Sheng Guan production techniques of hongyinzhai)

Applicant: Haidian District, Beijing

Hongyinzhai Sheng Guan production technology is a traditional handicraft of Chinese national wind instruments produced by "hongyinzhai" founded by the Wu family in Beijing. It is the only instrument production technology inherited from the Qing court in China. In the late Qing Dynasty, Wu Qirui, the Bailey master, made musical instruments and learned the skills of the court, which has been handed down to the Wu family for five generations.

The Wu family followed the traditional techniques and maintained the style of the palace. After domesticating, digging, drilling and tuning the wood and bamboo, they made music for the artists. They also innovated the national wind instruments and made a series of Chinese national wind instruments. They made contributions to the cause of Chinese national music and had high value of national music, art collection and historical research. In the 1980s, Chinese artists named the hongyinzhaisheng wind instrument "Wu's wind instrument".

This skill has high technical content and talent is hard to find, which needs to be further protected.
