What musical instrument is the guzheng?

Guzheng, also known as Han Zheng and Qin Zheng, is an ancient national musical instrument of the Han nationality, which is popular all over China. After thousands of years of development, Hakka Zheng, Chaozhou Zheng, Shandong Zheng and Henan Zheng have been formed. Solos, ensembles, instrumental ensembles and accompaniments, which are often used in song and dance, traditional opera and folk art, are known as "the king of music" and "Oriental piano" because of their wide range, beautiful timbre, rich playing skills and strong expressive force, and are one of the unique and important national musical instruments in China.

The structure of the guzheng consists of a panel, a wild goose column, strings, a front yueshan, a string nail, a tuning box, a piano foot, a back yueshan, a side plate, a sound outlet, a bottom plate and a string piercing hole. It is a rectangular wooden sound box, and the string frame "Zheng column" can move freely, with one string and one tone arranged in five tones.

Daily protection of guzheng

1. In wet weather, be sure to store the guzheng in a dry and ventilated place. When not in use, you can put desiccant and other absorbent articles in the Zheng bag, and then wrap the Zheng.

2. In the excessively dry weather environment, there will be some cracks in the chord hole and even the bottom plate of the guzheng. At this time, it must be protected as soon as possible, and some musical instrument moisturizing cream can be properly applied around the cracks to prevent the cracks from expanding.

Never expose the guzheng to the sun for a long time, otherwise it will cause great damage to the panel.

4. Don't let the panel get wet, and take protective measures when handling in rainy days.
