Chinese Musical Instrument

古琴，原稱琴，又稱瑤琴、玉琴、五弦琴和七弦琴，是中國的撥弦樂器，有三千年以上歷史，屬於八音中的絲。古琴音域寬廣，音色深沉，餘音悠遠。

琴是中國古代文化地位最崇高的樂器，有「士無故不撤琴瑟」和「左琴右書」之說。位列「琴棋書畫」四藝之首，被文人視為高雅的代表，亦為文人吟唱時的伴奏樂器，自古以來一直是許多文人必備的知識和必修的科目。伯牙、子期以「高山流水」而成知音的故事流傳至今；大量詩詞文賦中有琴的身影。現存琴曲3360多首，琴譜130多部，琴歌300首。

2003年古琴藝術被聯合國教科文組織列入世界第二批人類非物質文化遺產代表作。中華人民共和國國務院於2006年將古琴列入第一批國家級非物質文化遺產，並於2007年起多次公布國家級非物質文化遺產（古琴項目）代表性傳承人名單。

The guqin (古琴) is a plucked seven-string Chinese musical instrument. It has been played since ancient times, and has traditionally been favoured by scholars and literati as an instrument of great subtlety and refinement, as highlighted by the quote "a gentleman does not part with his qin or se without good reason". It is sometimes referred to by the Chinese as "the father of Chinese music" or "the instrument of the sages". 

There are more than 3,360 known surviving pieces of guqin music from ancient and imperial periods. On 7 November 2003, UNESCO announced that the Chinese guqin was selected as an Intangible World Cultural Heritage.
