What musical instrument did Qin Yue originate from?

Yueqin is a plucked instrument, and its origin is most similar to that of Qin Liu.

Yueqin is related to Qin Liu, Guqin, lyre and thirteen strings in traditional Chinese musical instruments.

Qin Liu is a kind of two-stringed banhu, which is said to have originated in the south of China and was recorded in Qin Liu in the Northern and Southern Dynasties. Qin Liu is a piano body made of paulownia wood, a bow code made of snakeskin or beef tendon, and two strings. When playing, the palm of the left hand holds the chord position, and the thumb and forefinger of the right hand strike the strings to make a sound. On the basis of playing, instruments such as guitar and violin later evolved. Among them, Yueqin evolved on the basis of Qin Liu. Yueqin's neck is similar to Qin Liu's, and her face is flat. Usually, three strings are used.

Yueqin, also known as "playing Yueqin" and "playing Yueqin", was a popular musical instrument in China in the early 20th century. It inherited the essence of Qin Liu, and made innovations and changes in playing skills. It is one of the important instruments in classical music and folk music.
