What is not a traditional Chinese musical instrument

The violin is not a traditional Chinese musical instrument.

The violin is a stringed instrument that originated in Europe and is one of the indispensable instruments in Western music. The violin plays an important role in music education and performance in modern China, but does not belong to the category of traditional Chinese musical instruments. There are many types of traditional Chinese musical instruments, including stringed, wind, and percussion instruments, such as the guzheng, pipa, erhu, flute, suona, gongs and drums, and so on. These musical instruments have a deep historical and cultural background in Chinese music culture and are an important part of the traditional culture of the Chinese nation. These instruments are widely used not only in Chinese folk music, but also in various forms of music such as classical music and opera music.
