Who invented the dizi?

The dizi, a traditional Chinese bamboo Flute, does not have a single inventor, as it evolved over centuries within Chinese musical culture. Its origins can be traced back to ancient times, with references in historical texts dating back to the Warring States period (475-221 BCE). The dizi has undergone various modifications and refinements, leading to the instrument known today. It is widely used in Chinese folk and Classical Music and has become an integral part of China's musical heritage.
