Etymology

From the Hanyu Pinyin romanization of the Mandarin 古琴 (gǔqín), made up of 古 (gǔ, “ancient”) and 琴 (qín, “stringed instrument”).

Pronunciation

  • IPA(key): /ɡuːˈt͡ʃiːn/
  • Rhymes: -iːn

Noun

guqin (plural guqin or guqins)

  1. A plucked zither-like stringed instrument (chordophone), traditionally featuring seven unfretted strings, originating in ancient China.

Usage notes

  • In the past, the guqin was referred to only as the qin, but it has the prefix gu- to distinguish it from other instruments which are also called qin. It can be referred to as qin after guqin is used in the first instance.
  • The organology of the qin fits that of a zither, but in the past, it has been incorrectly referred to as a lute or harp.
  • It is sometimes confused with the guzheng (古筝) which is a different stringed instrument.
