The Xuanqin is a plucked stringed musical instrument played by the Goguryeo people of ancient Northeast China. Also known as Xuanheqin. It has a long history and unique shape.


Once popular in Jilin, Liaoning and other regions, it looks like a Chinese zither, except that it is played with a plectrum.

With the development of the musical form "san tune" in the 19th century, the Xuanqin became more popular. Due to the difference in the plucking method (strike and pluck), Hyeongum's tense sound is in stark contrast to Gayageum.
