 WESTERN FREE REED INSTRUMENTS
By the mid 1700s, the Bavarian violinist and instrument maker Johann Wilde was regularly performing on the sheng for the Court Society of St. Petersburg, Russia, although it does not seem to have been recorded how he obtained the instrument.
It would seem that the first thorough study of the acoustics of the free reed as used in the sheng was published in 1821 by the famous acoustician Ernst Chladni, writing in the respected journal Allegemeinen Musikalischen Zeitung.
The Harmonichord was an intriguing offshoot of the free reed family, developed by Joseph Lederfine of Brooklyn.

Many consider wushu a better term for Chinese martial arts, as it translates directly into "martial art."
The term is first used by a Westerner, French Jesuit missionary Jean Joseph Marie Amiot, in the 18th Century and later popularized in the West by famous film martial artist Bruce Lee.
Part of the confusion around this term comes from the many ways the Chinese characters 功夫 can be romanized, as Chinese romanization systems have evolved much in the past years.
