The guzheng or gu
zheng (Chinese: 古箏; pinyin:
gǔzhēng, pronounced [kùt͡ʂə́ŋ]), also simply called zheng (箏, gu 古 means
ancient ), is a Chinese plucked zither. It has 18 or more strings and movable
bridges, and the modern guzheng usually has 21 strings and bridges. The picks
(called DaiMao ) used by performers to play guzheng are often made out of the
shells of hawksbill turtles.
The guzheng is the ancestor of several Asian zither instruments, such as the
Japanese koto, the Korean gayageum, and the Vietnamese đàn tranh. The guzheng
should not be confused with the guqin (another ancient Chinese zither with no
moveable bridges).
The early types of guzheng emerged during the Warring States period (475 to 221
BCE) where the slaughter of cattle, hogs, horses and especially dogs was
rampant. Intestines of dog were made as a strings for the guzheng which is
commonly called catgut. It was largely influenced by the se. It became prominent
during the Qin period (221 to 206 BCE), and by the Tang Dynasty (618 CE to 907
CE), the guzheng was arguably the most commonly played instrument in China.
Musicological studies in the late 20th century indicate that early bamboo tube
zithers might be one of the prototypes of the guzheng, koto, gayageum, and the
đàn tranh.
The modern zheng is very different from ones made centuries ago, mainly due to
natural evolution influenced by local as well as historical environments but
also because of the adoption of Western musical styles. Strings were once made
from silk but now they are almost always metal-nylon which increased the
instrument’s capabilities, volume and timbre.
