The music box is also called the music box. The origin of the music box can be traced back to the European Renaissance in the Middle Ages. At that time, in order to make the church bell tower tell time, mechanical devices were installed on large and small clocks, which were called "sounding bells." In 1598, Italian Jesuit Matteo Ricci came to Beijing for the first time, and among his gifts was a music instrument. This is the earliest musical instrument recorded in history that entered China. After various inventions and creations, around 1780, the Swiss in La Yunfang were inspired by the principle of the puppet automatic clock and invented an amazing mechanism-the mechanical birdsong clock. In 1796, the invention of a Geneva clockmaker brought revolutionary changes to the mechanical music box, allowing the size of the music box to be reduced to the limit, and it was successfully developed in the following century. In the same year, Swiss watchmaker Antoine Fabre developed the cylindrical music box, which is the oldest music box in the world. This antique is collected in the Shanghai Music Box Treasures Exhibition Hall. In 1870, a German inventor created the first disk-type music box. At the beginning of the 17th century, the music box industry became Switzerland's largest industry, surpassing the watchmaking and lace industries, making the small town located on the edge of the Swiss Jura Mountains famous throughout the world. After World War II, the Japanese vigorously entered the music box industry. In 1992, China's first musical instrument with intellectual property rights was born in Yunsheng.
