* 自鸣乐器 (zìmíng yuèqì) - This literally means "self-sounding musical instrument" and is the most common translation.
* 体鸣乐器 (tǐmíng yuèqì) - This literally means "body-sounding musical instrument" and is also a common translation.
Both terms refer to musical instruments that produce sound primarily through the vibration of the instrument itself, rather than through the vibration of a string, membrane, or column of air.
Here are some examples of idiophones in Chinese:
* 锣 (luó) - Gong
* 钹 (bó) - Cymbal
* 磬 (qìng) - Chime stone
* 木鱼 (mù yú) - Fish-shaped wooden block
* 铃 (líng) - Bell
* 三角铁 (sānjiǎo tiě) - Triangle
It's important to note that the classifications of musical instruments can vary slightly depending on the specific system being used. However, the terms "自鸣乐器" and "体鸣乐器" are the most common and accurate translations of "idiophone" in Chinese.
