The origin of guzheng

Guzheng is a traditional plucked instrument in China with a long history and rich cultural connotation. The origin of guzheng can be traced back to ancient China more than two thousand years ago. According to archaeological discoveries, musical instruments similar to guzheng appeared in the late Shang Dynasty about 2,500 years ago. In earlier documents, the ancient music culture of China has mentioned musical instruments similar to guzheng.

Zheng was gradually developed in the Han Dynasty (206 BC-220 AD). At that time, 53 strings were used, and the shape was relatively mature. During the Sui and Tang Dynasties, the Zheng was further developed and improved in melody and playing skills, and became one of the main musical instruments of the court and literati.

Guzheng reached its peak in the Song Dynasty (960-1279) and became a musical instrument advocated by literati. Many scholars like to play with it and use it as inspiration for their writing and creation. During the Ming and Qing Dynasties, guzheng played more skillfully, with richer timbre and more changeable music. At the same time, guzheng began to spread to the people and became a common instrument in family and social occasions.

Guzheng is still one of the important representatives of traditional music in China, attracting people's attention with its unique timbre and charm, and becoming one of the treasures of China culture.
