    About Guzheng
    Guzheng, (pronounced 'Goo-Zheng') is a stringed instrument, plucked by hand (often with a pick). Part of the zither family, it is an ancient Chinese musical instrument that dates back to Qin dynasty (before 206 BC). In fact, the first part of the instruments title: "Gu" means 'ancient' in Chinese. Its history goes as far back as the Spring Autumn Warring State Period where it was widely played in Qing State area, and that’s why it was previously named Qing Zheng.
    The body shape of Guzheng is a combination of oblong and oval. The head and tail of Guzheng are fixed with bridges on which strings are lined across, and each string is also supported by a peg (which is movable) so that the pitch of a string can be fixed and adjusted. The earliest Guzheng has only five strings, but from the time of the Qing Dynasty on to Ming and Qing Dynasties, the number of strings increased from 12 to 16.
    Prior to 1961, most Asian Guzhengs had 16 strings, but the development of the S-shaped string rest allowed for easier tuning and improved resonance to support the 21 stringed models. The new Asian zheng instrument model offered 4 octaves, whereas the 16 stringed models only offered 3 octaves.
    Traditional playing techniques are as follows:
    The thumb, the index, middle finger and ring finger of the right hand are used for plucking while the index, the middle and the ring finger of the left hand are for pressing, thus create a variety of tone colors. Plucking is often done with four plectra (picks) attached to the fingers.
