  • @aldyraldy xun=埙

  • Dommage qu'il y ait tant de bruits parasites !

  • It is pronounced like "schwinn" with the sound of the middle "wi" rising in pitch. It means "penetrating wind", alsoname of hexagrams in I Ching as well. It is a vessel flute or a transverse ocarina. The first ones used to imitate animal noises and hunters communicated with each other using them in very ancient times. It was a Taoist instrument used in ceremonial music but had nearly died out and then the cultural revolution all but finished it off. Now making a remarkable comeback.

  • @aldyraldy sounds like "sh-oo-n" "shoon"

  • @aldyraldy i believe it's Ksoon.... but i could be very wrong.

  • âm thanh u uẩn.

  • i have a question.. how do you pronounce "xun"? im getting one and i wanna know how to say it.. thanks.
