Chinese Traditional Instrument--Erhu(bowed strings) & traditional music

Hi all,

Erhu originated in Central Asia and was introduced to China more than one thousand years ago. The erhu 二胡 belongs to the large family of stick fiddles that are found in many countries. Xiqin 奚琴 was the first bowed instrument mentioned in Chinese literature in Tang Dynasty (618-907 A.D.). It is believed to be the precursor of the erhu. Xiqin was also called huqin 胡琴.
