Fangxiang
The ''fangxiang'' (also ''fang xiang'', ''fang hsiang''; 方响 or 方響 in Chinese, pinyin: fāngxiǎng; also known in the West as the Chinese chang) is an organized-suspended (bianxuan) Chinese metallophone that has been used for over 1,000 years. Fangxiang is the only instrument type that is found in the Stone category of the eight sounds. It was first used in the Liang Dynasty (502—557 CE), and then standardized in the Sui and Tang dynasties mostly for court music.
== Construction and Design ==
Stones in the ancient sets are (like the bells) usually of similar thickness but of graded size. It consists of 16 iron, bronze or jewel tuned rectangular slabs with 16 different pitches, laid in a frame in two rows and usually constructed in L-shape. The slabs are struck with a hammer and played melodically. Unlike the metallophone today, Chinese changed the thickness of the metal plates to get different pitches.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://gbtimes.com/culture/music/marching-beat-chinese-drum )〕 Each of the slabs is of the same length and width but they are of graduated thickness, with the thinner slabs producing lower tones and the thicker slabs producing higher tones.〔"Fangxiang (方响)." - China Culture.
