The ''yu'' (; pinyin: yǔ) was a wooden percussion instrument carved in the shape of a tiger with a serrated back comprising 27 "teeth", used since ancient times in China for Confucian court ritual music. It was played by striking its head three times with a bamboo whisk made from approximately 15 stalks of bamboo, and then scraping it across the serrated back once to mark the end of a piece of music. The ''yu'' is mentioned along with another percussion instrument called ''zhu'' (柷) in pre-Qin Dynasty annals; it also appears in the ''Classic of History''. The ''yu'' was adopted by the Korean court in ancient times, where it was known as ''eo'' (hangul: ; hanja: ), and is still used in Confucian ritual music. ==External links== *(''Yu'' page ) 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Yu (percussion instrument)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
