What was the name of the piano that Zhuge Liang played at that time?

Lyre.

The exposed parts of the seven strings pass through Yueshan and Gui Long, and become a pair of "goose feet" at the bottom of the piano, symbolizing the seven stars.

There are two hidden grooves in the belly and head of the piano, one is the tip of the tongue, the other is the sound pool, and the other is the sound receiving end, also called rhyme marsh. Corresponding to Longchi and Fengman, there is often a "Yin Na" in every place.

Yinna in Longchi has a "Tianzhu" on the head side and a "pillar" on the tail side. When making a sound, "the sound wants to pass by, but it lingers, but it has a aftertaste." Because the piano has no "pin" (column) and "code", it is very convenient to play flexibly, and it has the characteristics of extremely long effective strings, large vibration amplitude of strings and endless reverberation, so it has its unique hand-walking sound.

As far as structure is concerned, the structure of each part of the piano is very reasonable. It is not too big, not only easy to carry, but also beautiful and generous. The shape of the piano is pleasing enough. It can also be seen from the naming of piano parts that the piano system is influenced by Confucianism.

Extended data

Guqin, also known as lyre, Qin Yu and lyre, was called Qin in ancient times. In modern times, the word "ancient" has been added to distinguish it from the Qin in western musical instruments, so it is called guqin. Guqin is the oldest traditional plucked instrument in China, a treasure of China culture and a masterpiece of human oral and intangible heritage.

Legend has it that the Yellow Emperor created the primitive guqin in primitive times, which was widely circulated in the Western Zhou Dynasty, and was played with instruments such as Qin and drums during the sacrifice. The physical objects unearthed from the tomb of Zeng Houyi in Hubei Province date back more than 2,400 years. Since the Tang and Song Dynasties, guqin products have been handed down from generation to generation.

From the Southern and Northern Dynasties to the Qing Dynasty, there were more than 100 kinds of music and 3000 musical instruments. There are also a large number of documents about pianists, piano theory, piano system and piano art, and the rich remains are outstanding among Chinese musical instruments. During the Sui and Tang Dynasties, guqin was also introduced to East Asian countries, and was absorbed and passed down by the traditional cultures of these countries. In modern times, with the footprints of China people all over the world, it became a symbol of oriental culture in the eyes of westerners.
