Description

This essay is an attempt to describe the cultural significance of a Chinese musical instrument^ the seven-stringed lute. Commonly called ku-ch'in2 or 'the lute of antiquity^ it was played more than two thousand years ago as it is still today. It is chiefly used as a solo instrument, producing a subdued and highly refined music.
