WELCOME!
Brief introduction of Di Zi (Bamboo Flute)
Because it sounds great, is easy to learn, light to carry and inexpensive,
the Dizi (Chinese Bamboo Flute)
is one of most popular Chinese instruments
in Asia.

The Dizi (also called D'Tzu or
Zhu Di), is a side blown wind instrument made of Bamboo.
The Dizi has a very simple structure: 1 blowhole, 1 membrane hole, 6 finger holes, and two pairs of holes in the end to correct the pitch and hang decorative tassels.
Structure
Most special about the Dizi is the "Mo-Cong" (membrane hole), which is located between the blowhole and 6th finger hole. The Mo-Cong was invented in the Tang Dynasty (618-907 AD) by Liu Xi, and he named the flute the "Seven Star Tube".
What makes the Mo-Cong special is its thin membrane covering. Some people mistake this membrane for rice paper, but it is actually made from the inner tube of a bamboo or reed plant.
When the Dizi is played, the membrane
vibrates with the Dizi,
producing a sweet, bright
tone. In addition it helps to
deliver the Dizi sound far away. Liu Xi stated the purpose of his great invention as "To help produce better tone quality". You can also adjust the membrane to get the just the "right" tone for the specific musical mood.
HISTORY
Official documents show that the Dizi was brought back from somewhere west of China by Emperor Wudi's messenger, Zhang Qian, in 119 BC. The discovery of older flutes in several ancient tombs show that the Chinese played bone and bamboo flutes long before the Emperor Wudi sent his messenger
More than thirty 9,000 year old flutes, made from the wing bones of the red-crowned crane and carved with five to seven holes, were found at the village of Jiahu in the Yellow River Valley of China. The second
flute from the bottom
can still produce
music without
signs of strain.
