Yueqin is a traditional plucked instrument in China, which originated in the Han Dynasty. The speaker is full of circles and the neck is short. The total length is 62, and the speaker diameter is 36.3cm.. The borders of the neck and speaker are mahogany and rosewood, and the borders are six boards of the same specification. The front panel and the back panel are made of paulownia wood. There are two sound beams and two sound columns in the box. Four axes, four strings, every two strings are homophonic, and the five degrees are fixed. There are eight or nine grades on the neck and panel.

With the passage of time, Qin Yue is constantly changing and developing. For example, after Qin Yue was introduced into Taiwan Province Province, its shape changed a little. Yueqin in Taiwan Province Province has a long neck and a round wooden speaker, occasionally hexagonal or octagonal.

Silk thread was used in the early days, but now nylon thread is commonly used, and fishing line is also quite popular. It's Taiwan Province Taiwanese Opera and Taiwanese Opera. Taiwan Province Yueqin is also used for the rap of Taiwan Province Gezi Opera (Mi Opera) and Gezi (known locally as Jinge, the floorboard of folk songs).

Yueqin originated in Ruan. Ruan was invented in China as early as the period of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty (BC 140-87), but at that time, this musical instrument with "playing" and "plucking" as the main playing techniques was generally called Pipa. According to the preface of Fu Xuan's Pipa Fu in the Eastern Han Dynasty, Ruan was composed by musicians at that time with reference to musical instruments such as Qin, Zheng, bamboo and Chui.

According to Ying Shao's Customs in the Eastern Han Dynasty, Ruan was three feet and five inches long. It was called Qin Pipa in the Han Dynasty and spread to the western regions through the Silk Road. Its shape can be found in the relief of Maijishan Grottoes in Gansu Province and the murals of the Northern Wei Dynasty in Dunhuang.

Ruan Xian, one of the "Seven Sages of Bamboo Forest" in the Eastern Jin Dynasty (AD 3 17-420), was good at playing this instrument. There are images on the pottery sculpture of the celadon warehouse in the Three Kingdoms (Wu), and the images played by Ruan Xian can be seen in the depiction of the tomb bricks of the Southern Dynasties in Xishan Bridge in Nanjing and Nanqi in Danyang, Jiangsu. During the reign of Emperor Wu of the Tang Dynasty (684-70 1), it was called Ruan Xian.

It has been popular among the people since the Jin Dynasty. Since the Tang Dynasty, it has the name of Yueqin, which looks like the moon and sounds like a harp. In the Qing Dynasty, Yueqin was completely different from Ruan, with the stem shortened to the neck and evolved into a modern style.
