Why are there so many small cracks in the northern guzheng?

Why are there so many small cracks on the guzheng in the north?

This is related to the fact that the indoor air in the north is too dry, that is, the relative humidity of the indoor air is too low. Guzheng generally has good sound quality and timbre in an environment with a relative air humidity of 50% to 70%. It is a pity that the indoor air in the north is closed in winter, plus there is heating, and many northerners do not have the habit of indoor humidification. The relative humidity of the indoor air is below 40%, and some northwest areas are dry to below 20%.

The guzheng originally had a certain water content when it left the factory. After a period of time in the north, the results can be imagined. As the guzheng continued to lose water, the mid-range began to empty, the high-range began to dry, and fine cracks began to appear on the flower plate.
