The erhu is evolved from the yazheng (bowed zither) of the Tang
Dynasty (618-907), and the xiqin family found around the areas of
Xilamuren River in northeast China. In the early period, it was played
with a bamboo stick pressing on the strings and therefore the tone
colour tended to be brilliant with a metallic quality. By the Song Dynasty
(960-1279), the bamboo stick was replaced by a bow. Between the 1910s
and 1930s, a talented musician Liu Tianhua refined and developed the
techniques of playing the instrument. -stanford.edu

Pipa
Before the Sui (581-618) and the Tang Dynasties the pipa was a general
term referring to those plucked-string instruments ployed in hand-held
positions with the outward fingering technique called pi and the inward
one called pa. Instruments such as the pipa and the konghou (lyre) were
introduced into China from the western regions. The ancient model of
pipa was equipped with four strings and four ledges. Nowadays the pipa is
equipped with six ledges and twenty-four frets. In the Tang Dynasty
the plucking on pipa was done with wooden plectrum; it is now with five
fingers.-stanford.edu

The suona is one of the most wide spread wind instruments found in all ethnic
groups in China. A shawm of Persia (now Iran) and Arabia origin, its name was
originally a transliteration of a foreign term, surna. It was introduced into
China in the Jin and Yuan periods, at first to inspire the soldiery. Later it came
to be commonly used by the people.

Three types of suona now exist: the bass suona is solemn and deep, the alto
suona is vigorous and sonorous, and the soprano suona, strident to the point of
piercing.

It is used in festive celebrations, on happy occasions, weddings, funerals, and for

religious functions. In the context of the Chinese orchestra, it has been
constantly reformed and improved, and today, there are keyed soprano, keyed
alto, keyed tenor and keyed bass versions.-stanford.edu
