扩展资料
古筝起源：早在公元前5世纪至公元前3世纪的战国时代，就在当时的秦国（现陕西）一带广泛流传，又名秦筝。算起来，它已经有2500年以上的历史了。
古筝是一件古老的汉民族乐器，一共10级。战国时期盛行于“秦”地，司马迁的《史记》所记载《李斯列传．谏逐客书》中所引资料，颇有值得我们注意的地方。李斯《谏逐客书中》述及秦国乐舞的一段说：“夫击瓮，叩缶、弹筝、搏髀，而歌呜呜快耳者真秦之声也。
郑卫桑间，韶虞、武象者，异国之乐也。”也有说法为，筝是战国时的一种兵器，用于竖着挥起打敌人还有一句古话叫“筝横为乐，立地成兵”。后来在上面加上琴弦，拨动时发现悦耳动听，于是发展成乐器。
随着时间的推移，兵器也越来越轻便，筝这种体形庞大、质量不轻的兵器就被遗弃了。所以眼下人们见到的筝都是以乐器的形式出现的，形态优美，并附有装饰。

The first Zheng appeared in Qin dynasty.
So it has another name named QinZheng.
The Zheng have a penetrating, poignant sound.The Chinese love this instrument very much.
筝，一种带雁柱的琴，是古代中国音乐中最重要的乐器之一。它的21根琴弦张在如同空木盒子一般的琴身上。在每一弦下支着一个可以移动的雁柱。筝是以改变琴弦下雁柱的位置来定调的。因为这样做可以改变琴弦的张紧程度。筝的演奏需要双手带上假指甲。
筝最早出现于中国战国时的秦国，所以又名秦筝。筝具有穿透性的音色，中国人民非常热爱古筝。

Zheng (Guzheng) is build with a special wooden sound body with strings arched across movable bridges along the length of the instrument for the purpose of tuning. In the early times the zheng had 5 string; later on developed into 12 to 13 strings in the Tang Dynasty (618 - 907AD) and 16 strings in the Song and Ming dynasty (from the 10th to 15th century). The present day zheng usually has 21-25 strings.

英文:
the guzheng， or gu zheng (chinese: 古筝； pinyin: gǔzhēng) or zheng (筝) (gu- means "ancient") is a traditional chinese musical instrument. it belongs to the zither family of string instruments.
the guzheng is the parent instrument of the japanese koto， the korean gayageum， and the vietnamese đàn tranh.
a modern guzhengthe guzheng should not to be confused with the guqin， another ancient chinese zither but without bridges.
description
the modern-day guzheng is a plucked， half-tube zither with movable bridges and 21 strings， although it can have anywhere from 15 to 25 strings (a customized version exists with more than 34 strings). the guzheng’s strings were formerly made of twisted silk， though by the 20th century most players used metal strings (generally steel for the high strings and copper-wound steel for the bass strings). since the mid-20th century most performers use steel strings flatwound with nylon.
the guzheng has a large resonant cavity made from wu tong wood (paulownia tomentosa). other components may be made from other woods， usually for structural and decorative purposes.
history
the guzheng has existed since the warring states period and became especially popular during the qin dynasty. the ancient guzheng had 12 strings， which gradually evolved into it current forms.
until 1961， the common guzheng had 18 strings. in 1961 xu zhengao together with wang xunzhi introduced the first 21-string guzheng after two years of research and development. in 1961， they also invented the "s-shaped" left string rest， which was quickly adopted by all guzheng makers and is still used today， whether in the shape of the letter "s"， "c"， etc. the 21-string zheng is the most commonly used， but some traditional musicians still use the 16-string， especially along the southeastern coastal provinces of china and in taiwan.
the guzheng is tuned to a pentatonic scale， the 16-string zheng is tuned to give three complete octaves， while the 21-string zheng has four complete octaves.
playing styles and performers
there are many techniques used in the playing of the guzheng， including basic plucking actions (right or both hands) at the right portion and pressing actions at the left portion (by the left hand to produce pitch ornamentations and vibrato) as well as tremolo (right hand). these techniques of playing the guzheng can create sounds that can evoke the sense of a cascading waterfall， thunder and even the scenic countryside. plucking is done mainly by the right hand with four plectra (picks) attached to the fingers. advanced players may use picks attached to the fingers of both hands. ancient picks were made of ivory and later also from tortoise shell.
the guzheng’s pentatonic scale is tuned to do， re， mi， so and la， but fa and ti can also be produced by pressing the strings to the left of the bridges. well known pieces for the instrument include yu zhou chang wan (singing at night on fishing boat)， gao shan liu shui (high mountains flowing water) and han gong qiu yue (han palace autumn moon).
two broad playing styles (schools) can be identified as northern and southern， although many traditional regional styles still exist. the northern styles is associated with henan and shandong while the southern style is with the chaozhou and hakka regions of eastern guangdong. both gao shan liu shui (high mountains flowing water) and han gong qiu yue (han palace autumn moon) are from the shandong school， while han ya xi shui (winter crows playing in the water) and chu shui lian (lotus blossoms emerging from the water) are major pieces of the chaozhou and hakka repertories respectively.
