The Guqin is a traditional Chinese musical instrument that belongs to the zither family. It has a history of over 3,000 years and is often associated with Chinese literati, scholars, and artists. Key features of the Guqin include its long, flat body, seven strings, and a series of bridges along the instrument's length. The strings are traditionally made of silk, though modern versions may use nylon or other materials. Playing the Guqin involves plucking the strings with the right hand while various techniques are used with the left hand to change pitch and produce different tones. The instrument is known for its rich and subtle sound, often described as ethereal or meditative.
