Ling Lun

Ling Lun (Traditional Chinese: or ) is the legendary founder of music in ancient China. In Chinese mythology, he was said to have created bamboo flutes which made the sounds of many birds, including the mythical phoenix. The "Yellow Emperor" is said to have ordered the casting of bells in tune with those flutes.

In the computer game "Civilization IV" Ling Lun appears as a great artist.
