专家说明

A group of five female musicians on horseback was found in the tomb of Yu Yin and Princess Jinxiang, Xian, Shaanxi Province. During the Tang Dynasty there was a strong interest in foreign types of music, and in particular that from Central Asia from where this small type of cymbals originated. See The Golden Age of Chinese Archaeology, National Gallery of Art, Washingon, Ed. by Xiaoneng Yang, p. 494-496, fig. 171.
