guqin
Ji kang's "Qin Fu" says: among all the instruments, Qin De is the best. Guqin, also known as heptachord, Yuqin and lyre, has a history of at least 3,5 years. In ancient China, there was a legend of "high mountains and flowing water".
In ancient times, the piano was not only a musical instrument, but also a spiritual way of life for literati to cultivate their self-cultivation and even realize the Tao with meditation.
Zheng
There is a poem "her hands of white jade by a window of snow, are glimmering on a golden-fretted harp" in Tang poetry. Zheng, also known as Guzheng and Qin Zheng, is an ancient traditional plucked instrument in China. Zheng was widely popular in the Warring States period, especially in Qin State, so it was also called Qin Zheng.
Pipa
Pipa is a traditional plucked instrument. The word "Jue" in the word "Pipa" means "two jade collide and make a pleasant knocking sound", which means that it is a musical instrument that sounds by bouncing the strings.
Bai Juyi, a great poet in the Tang Dynasty, wrote Pipa Xing, which reproduces the unique musical features of Pipa.
