Involving musical instruments

Zhamunian (pinyin: zhā mù nián) has a long history and different origins. It evolved from a multi-stringed musical instrument introduced to Tibet from ancient India. According to the records of the "Tibetan Wangtongji" in Genyu, Songtsan Gampo once gave a banquet. There are records of artists playing musical instruments, and it is judged that Jamunian was introduced to Tibet from the mainland in the Tang Dynasty, and has a history of more than 1,000 years. However, most Tibetan scholars believe that Jamunie originated in Tibet and was a musical instrument created by the Tibetans themselves.
