It is generally believed that guqin is also called lyre, because it is said that guqin was produced in Fu and once lived in Yaochi in ancient times, so it is called "lyre". Some people think that the music played by Guqin is the joy of Yaochi in the sky, so it is called "lyre". In fact, Yao means beautiful jade, which symbolizes beauty and preciousness. Some famous pianos in ancient times are also decorated with jade, so it is also called Qin Yu, which is one of the sources of the name of the lyre.
