Suspect Info in Prologue[edit]

The statement that the Qiang people are from Southwest China needs to be vetted and citation needed. All other sources regarding the Qiang people state that they are and still live in NORTHwest China. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2600:1702:26E0:3E30:5CCD:1A90:6764:4537 (talk) 18:54, 19 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Xiao user templates[edit]

I've created user templates for xiao players to use on their user pages here: Category:Wikipedian xiao players. It includes a category and template for qin xiao as well. --Charlie Huang 【正矗昊】 00:18, 12 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Alternate name?[edit]

This article gives 洞箫 as an alternate name for the xiao. But is 侗箫 another name? Both draw many hits in Google searches. Badagnani 00:51, 3 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

短簫[edit]

The Korean danso is spelled in hanja as 短簫 (duanxiao). But is/was there a Chinese instrument called 短簫? Badagnani (talk) 23:34, 20 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]
