Athena Goodlight presents The Plucked Traditional Chinese Musical Instruments posted at factoidz, saying, “Among the most ancient musical instruments of China are the plucked strings. Aside from becoming essential parts of the ensemble in the regional operas, these instruments have become favorites for solo performances, too. Today, they are still being used in the theater, studied in music schools and are continually evolving both in the physical form and the techniques by which they are being played.”
