Guzheng History
Guzheng is also known as Qin zheng because it originated from the Qin state (located in today’s Shaanxi province) during the Spring and Autumn Period and Warring States Period (771 – 221 BC).
Guzheng is a well-known national musical instrument of ancient China and is almost 2500 years old. It is considered to be the pearl of Chinese musical instruments. It looks like a harp, which gave reason to call it Chinese harp.
The guzheng is tuned to a pentatonic scale; the 21-string zheng has four complete octaves.
After thousands of years of evolution and improvement as well as the beautiful sound of the guzheng, it has become the most popular Chinese folk instrument in the world.
古筝又称秦筝，因为它起源于春秋战国时期（公元前 771-221 年）的秦国（位于今天的陕西省）。
古筝是中国古代著名的民族乐器，距今已有近 2500 年的历史。它被誉为中国乐器中的明珠。它的外形酷似竖琴，因此被称为 “中国竖琴”。
古筝采用五声音阶，21 弦古筝有四个完整的八度。在经过了几千年的演变和改进，以及其音色的美妙动听， 古筝已经成为全世界最受欢迎的中国民族乐器。
