About
The character 箾, composed of the bamboo radical 竹 and the phonetic 朔, denotes a bamboo flute or panpipe used in ancient court music and ceremonial dances. The bamboo radical indicates the raw material, placing it within the category of woodwind instruments, while the phonetic component provides its pronunciation. This structural composition reflects the systematic classification of musical instruments by primary material found in classical Chinese treatises.
