Shiben seems to objectively record many inventors of music and musical instruments; Fuxi made harps and instruments, and Nu Wa made Shengquan. Later Fuxi, Sheng and Shennong made harps and instruments, Linglun made music and created Qing, hung a clock, and played the flute for their own amusement.
"Lu Chunqiu, Midsummer and Ancient Music" has a detailed statement: "In the past, Zhu Xiang ruled the world, and the wind was strong, and everything was scattered and the fruit declined. Therefore, Shida, as a banjo, has always been yin and gas, and settled down. In that year's Joy by Ge, the three of them played the bull's tail and sang eight songs, one said "carrying the people", the other said "mysterious birds", the third said "Sui vegetation", the fourth said "Fen", the fifth said "respecting heaven", the sixth said "building the emperor's merits", the seventh said "Yi Di De" and the eighth said. At the beginning of the previous family, yin and qi were stagnant, the waterways were congested, and the people were sluggish and their bones and muscles could not shrink.
