Moving medieval manuscript art!
The yangqin (扬琴) is a traditional Chinese hammered dulcimer, believed to have originated from Middle Eastern instruments like the santur. It features a trapezoidal wooden body with metal strings struck by bamboo mallets, producing bright, percussive tones. Used in Chinese orchestras and folk music, it’s known for its vibrant, shimmering sound and rapid melodic runs. (cr boa_o)
