• A full set of ritual musical instruments, including a sixty-five-piece set of studded bronze zhong bells (tuned to two pitches) and thirty-two tuned qing chime stones; drums, strings, and wind instruments completed the ensemble
• A smaller ensemble was laid at the foot of the Marquis's coffin: transverse flute, panpipes, two mouth organs sheng (precursor of the later accordion), a small drum, three zithers of twenty-five strings with movable bridges, a ten-stringed type of qin zither, and a five-stringed zither.
• Tunings were inscribed on the bells, giving insight into the tonal system in use at the time; illustrations of musicians in performance were also found.
• Unfortunately, no music notation was discovered.
