A plucked idiophone with single or three to five reeds, the instrument, a product of the Neolithic Age, is said in a Chinese legend to have been created by the first female ancestor Nüwa. Its name developed from huang (reed) in the Pre-Qin Dynasty (before 221 BC) to kou-qin (mouth string instrument) in the Ming and Qing Dynasties (1368-1911).There are quite a number of other folk names for the instrument. In the Dongba language of Chinese Naxi people, Yunnan Province, there are even hieroglyphics about the instrument and its playing.
