Jade chime and its manufacturing method

Abstract

The invention relates to a large-scale combined percussion instrument jade chime suitable for playing ancient and modern music. Its main features are: the bell body and the bell tower made of jade are a separate structure, and the joint parts are connected by jade threads. structure made of bell frame. In the production method of jade chime bells, process steps such as pressure water injection, hollow casing drilling, and deep hole processing are mainly used. Therefore, a large amount of jade resources can be saved when making jade chime bells, and it is easy to install, easy to tune, and high in processing efficiency. The structure design of the jade chimes is reasonable, which not only retains the cultural style of ancient Chinese rites and music, but also has high appreciation and collection value.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of making jade musical instruments, in particular to a jade chime bell suitable for playing ancient and modern music as a large combined percussion instrument and a manufacturing method thereof Background technique [0002] Among the known technologies, chime bells are an ancient large-scale percussion instrument cultural relic. Its production range is wide and its sound quality is vigorous. It is mainly used for large-scale sacrifices, celebrations, banquets and dances in the court, and it is also a symbol of the powerful. It flourished in the Zhou Dynasty and flourished in the Spring and Autumn Period, and gradually disappeared after the "ceremony collapsed and music deteriorated". In the late 20th century, bronze chime bells were excavated from the ancient tomb of Marquis Yi of Zeng in Suizhou, Hubei Province, and the tomb of Chu in the Spring and Autumn Period in Xichuan County, Henan Province. The data ...

Problems solved by technology

In the late 20th century, bronze chime bells were unearthed from the ancient tomb of Marquis Yi of Zeng in Suizhou, Hubei Province, and the tomb of Chu in the Spring and Autumn Period in Xichuan County, Henan Province. The production process and musical structure data are incomplete, making it difficult to verify

In fact, the bell body and the bell are made of integrally cast metal materials. The structure and accessories are also very complex and rich. Most of the structures are closely related to the rhythm of the chime bell. There are three strike points on both sides of the chime bell. , the middle one is called the drum sound, and the two sides are called the tunnel sound; the unearthed chime bells are integrally cast in bronze according to the ancient rhythm of our country. There is only a pentatonic scale in the middle of the drum, and only one section in the middle range can form a twelve-tone scale, and the treble can only form a seven-tone scale. Because there are few changes in sound, it is inconvenient to rotate the palace and tune, and at the same time, there is a lot of metal noise.

[0003] Jade chimes are not found in ancient and modern China and abroad, mainly because of their brittleness and hardness, especially the manufacturing process of chimes is very difficult. If the existing technology is simply used to carve, the tedious production process will last for several years. Moreover, due to its fragility and strict requirements for rhythm, the yield of jade chimes is very low, and the waste of materials is large. Jade is a precious non-renewable resource, and no one has tried it; secondly, the sound quality, timbre, range and Metals are very different, and it is even more difficult to use the complex shape and structure of bronze chimes to achieve the strict rhythm effect of bronze chimes.
