Di Zi - Origins
There are many suggestions for the source of Di zi. While some suggest that the Yellow Emperor ordered his government official to make the bamboo musical instrument, others believe that Di zi was imported into China during the Han Dynasty.
Recently, archaeologists have discovered evidence suggesting that the simple transverse flutes (though without the distinctive Muo Kong of the di zi) have been present in China for over 8000 years. Fragments of bone flutes from this period are still playable today, and are remarkably similar to modern versions in terms of hole placement, etc. These flutes share common features of other simple flutes from cultures all around the world, including the Ney, which was depicted in Egyptian pyramids. In fact, recent archeological discoveries in Africa suggest that the history of such flutes may date back a very long way in human history indeed.
