Examining the Evolution of Military Ritual Music in Early Medieval China through the Horse-Riding Figurines Unearthed from the Tomb of Ding Feng of Eastern Wu
In 2020,a group of glazed pottery horse-riding figurines was unearthed from the tomb of Ding Feng,a general of Eastern Wu. These figurines are indicative of military ritual music. They showcase the features of Han Dynasty military rituals and music,while also displaying transitional features adapted to the practical conditions and needs of the time. In the history of Chinese military ritual music,the early medi-eval period was marked by a lack of institutionalization and standardization. This period of exploration and adaptation ultimately contributed to the reforms and developments in military ritual music during the Jin Dy-nasty,preceding the formation of the Jin Li (Jin Rituals).
