According to China Daily, Chinese archaeologists found a plucked instrument called "Se" in the ancient tomb complex in Hubei province. It has a flat plank design and 50 twisted silk wires.

This is a musical instrument for the upper class in the sacrifice ritual. It was used thousands of years ago and later transformed into a type called Guzheng . Currently, very few modern musicians can play this type of instrument.

In the excavation area, the archaeological group also discovered a long 4.7m frame to hang the chandeliers in the house. Bells are a popular tool in ancient Chinese culture, used in ritual music and court.

The precious artifacts in the ancient tomb show the musical development in Trinh, a vassal state during the Spring and Autumn Period (771-476 BC).
