Introduction:

Erhu began in the Tang Dynasty and has a history of 1000 years. It originated from a minority in northern China in ancient times and was originally called "Qin Qin" and "Xi Qin". The earliest written record is the poem "Yan Rong Ren Shan Chi Ting" written by Meng Haoran, a poet in the Tang Dynasty: "Bamboo brings a piano, flowers invite wine", and Chen Yun, a scholar in the Song Dynasty, recorded in Le Shu that "Xi Qin is a musical instrument ...".

Cen Can, a poet in the Tang Dynasty, wrote "But we drink to the guests who come back from the camp". The poem "Playing Other Manyi Qin, Guitar and Harp" shows that the Huqin has been spread since the Tang Dynasty, and it is the general name of Chinese and Western stringed instruments and plucked instruments.

Chen, a scholar at the end of the Song Dynasty, recorded it in "The Tale of Stone Forest", which was written by Ji Kang, hence the name. Shen Kuo, a great scholar in the Song Dynasty, recorded in "Bubi Tan Yuelu": "At Xining Middle School, there was a palace banquet, and Yan Xu, an actor of Jiaofang, played Qin Qin and finished the song with only one string." It shows that there was a high level of performance in the Northern Song Dynasty.

When Yan Xu played Qin Qin for the emperor's ministers, he broke one string and still finished the music with another. It is impossible without skilled skills. Later, Shen Kuo recorded in "Meng Qian Bi Tan" that "ponytail huqin followed Han Dong, and he felt sorry for himself. Don't shoot the geese in the clouds with a bow, and the geese won't be sent now. " This shows that there was a ponytail huqin in the Northern Song Dynasty.
