  ABSTRACT: Yungang Grottoes have rich types and quantities of musical instrument images. Among them, there are not only traditional musical instruments from the Central Plains, but also musical instruments from ethnic minorities from the Western Regions, the North and the East. The images of musical instruments in the grottoes are a display of the diversity of music culture at that time and a profound reflection of the integration of national cultures. At the same time, the process of ethnic integration also affects the distribution of musical instruments in the grottoes. With the intensification of ethnic cultural integration, musical instruments from the Western Regions gradually entered the Central Plains and became rapidly popular, and the music culture presented diversified music forms. Historically, the integration of national cultures has enriched the types of musical instruments, promoted the prosperity of music culture, and has a positive reference value for the development of today’s musical instruments.
