A musician playing an instrument very similar to a suona is shown on a drawing on a Silk Road religious monument in western Xinjiang province dated to the 3rd to 5th centuries, and depictions dating to this period found in Shandong and other regions of northern China depict it being played in military processions, sometimes on horseback.

It was not mentioned in Chinese literature until the Ming Dynasty (1368--1644), but by this time the suona was already established in northern China.

history of surnay (suona) :(from wikipedia)

The suona is believed to have been developed from Central Asian instruments such as the sorna, surnay, or zurna, from which its Chinese name probably derives. It was

originally introduced into China from central or western Asia.

[uyghurar]

if you lear some chinese history,you will find some of chinese traditional music instrument came from antient uyghur people called as "Hu"

thats why chinese called some of this instruments name with a word "hu", like "hu qin" , "er hu"...

also,suona is introduced to china from uyghur people ,and the name "suona"is came from "surnay". we uyghur people still using this word .

The Chinese traditional music instruments tend to be huge in size. Handy ones like Suona are mostly from West/Central Asia. Since Suona is so popular in China, people forget about its true origin.

Do you know the suona is a chinese instrument!

[MiddleEastinfol]

It seems that this region in china still living in 1950's. This is because the chinese government doesnt want them to come up with wealth and new developments.

Wrong . Wrong ! Wrong !! Wrong !!!

In late 70s, XinJiang had the largest number of trucks per capita than any other province, for the purpose of developing industry there.

Urumuqi was a dry river in the 50s, and see what it looks like now (click keketuohai)

BTW, I enjoyed this music instrument, growing up with it.
