Description
This essay is an attempt to describe the cultural significance of a Chinese musical instrument, the seven-stringed lute. Commonly called ku-ch'in 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. It holds a unique place in Chinese culture
