The Never-Stopping Chattering
他们从不停止输出

Pipa (Chinese Lute) has its origin dated back to the Qin Dynasty (221-206 BC).
琵琶的起源可以追溯到秦朝(公元前221-206年)。

As Pipa evolved, it was heavily influenced by Persian culture during the Tang Dynasty (618 – 907 AD) when the two great civilizations crossed over with each other, and became one of the most popular instruments in China ever since then.
随着琵琶的发展,它深受唐代(公元618 – 907年)波斯文化的影响,当时两大文明相互交融,成为中国最受欢迎的乐器之一。

As Pipa prospered in the most powerful Chinese dynasty, it left tremendous markings in the Chinese literature and culture.
琵琶在中国最强大的朝代蓬勃发展,在中国文学和文化中留下了巨大的印记。

Pipa is most well-known for its rapid, successive playing style.

From the Grassroot
从草根

LiuQin is a grassroot folk instrument which was originally popular in some provinces of China for the last two centuries.
柳琴是一种民间民间乐器,最初在中国一些省份流行了两个世纪。

LiuQin was a simple and rough instrument at the begining, and it was once referred to as “the plebs’ Pipa” due to its lack of refinement – yet it is much closer to the true rural life.
柳琴最初是一种简单粗糙的乐器,由于缺乏精致,一度被称为“平民琵琶”,但它更接近于真正的乡村生活。

The structure of today’s LiuQin has been redesigned in the mid-20th century.

With the improved physical form, plus its higher pitch scale and its Western Mandolin-like acoustic effect, LiuQin has become a prominent instrument in today’s Chinese classical circle.
