Sheng 笙 series - illustrations in European music books - 欧洲音乐书籍中的插图

The Chinese Sheng became known in Europe between 1770 and 1780.

After that, this instrument was also found in almost all European music books.

However, many editors of these books never saw a sheng in real life, so they usually included copies of the pictures and texts in their works.

The exact mechanism of the free reed technique of the sheng was unknown to many.

Chinese mouth organ instruments appeared in European musical literature as early as before 1780, but were probably not correctly represented due to lack of information. (Tam Kim by Filippo Bonanni, Bellows sheng by Francesco Bianchini, Espece de Trompette Chinois by de La Borde).

1770年至1780年间，中国笙在欧洲广为人知。

此后，几乎所有欧洲音乐书籍中也出现了这种乐器。

然而，这些书籍的许多编辑在现实生活中从未见过笙，因此他们通常在作品中包含图片和文字的副本。

许多人不知道笙的自由簧片技术的确切机制。

中国口琴乐器早在1780年之前就出现在欧洲音乐文献中，但由于缺乏信息，可能没有正确地描述。 （Filippo Bonanni 的 Tam Kim，Francesco Bianchini 的风箱笙，de La Borde 的 Espece de Trompette Chinois）。
