Harps on the Ancient Silk Road
One can derive a great deal of information on Chinese music from images painted during the first millennium along the Silk Road, including Dunhuang, especially if combined with Chinese texts. Long before the arrival of Buddhism in China, music held an important place in Confucian and Daoist ritual. With the arrival of Buddhism, its followers demanded no less, but they required instruments quite different from the ritual instruments used during th…

For several millennia after 2500 B. C. E. lyres were confined to a few archetypes. Each had clear territorial affinities, and those belonging to the East (the Fertile Crescent) were distinguishable from those of the West (the Aegean).

Information from later periods is scarce…

Sound Holes and Geometrical Figures. Clues to the Terminology of Ancient Mesopotamian Harps
On the sides of the vertical harps on the Assyrian Palace reliefs in the British Museum one observes a characteristic geometrical figure inscribed in a consistent manner.

Most of these ha…
