The dizi (笛子) is a Chinese transverse flute, which basically means it's a type of flute in which the key holes and the hole in which the breath is blown are placed in the side of a long tube. A distinctive feature of the dizi is called the membrane hole, which is a hole in the body of the flute which can be covered up by verious membranes to produce different sounds. They are usually made of bamboo and have a mellow sound that is different from most wooden or plastic recorders.
The origin of the dizi extends back into the neolithic period, when it was the gu di (bone flute). That would date the instrument's development process to around 8000 years! Over time, the dizi became a favorite of the Chinese as a solo or an accompaniment instrument. Confusius was said to have written six Classics for the dizi during the Han Dynasty two thousand years ago. During the Ming Dynasty (1368-1662 AC) was when the dizi gained its largest amount of popularity because of the rise of the Kunqu Opera. Since then, it is recognized as the standard flute in China.
The dizi is also categorized into types by length and material.
