Guzheng

Guzheng, often referred to as the Chinese zither, is a traditional Chinese music genre and instrument with ancient origins tracing back over 2,500 years. Characterized by its expressive and melodious sound, the guzheng is a large, plucked string instrument with a range of 16 to 26 or more strings and movable bridges. The music produced is enchanting and complex, with a repertoire that includes both age-old compositions and contemporary pieces. Artists like Li Xiangting and Xiang Sihua have been instrumental in advancing the guzheng's technique, often blending the intricate melodies and dynamic glissandos of traditional playing with innovative, modern interpretations. The genre embodies a deep cultural resonance and evokes the landscapes and philosophies of China, calling upon listeners to immerse themselves in its serene and reflective beauty.
