Erhu, known as Huqin or Xiqin in ancient times, was

renamed Erhu during the Republic of China. It is a stringed

instrument. Erhu is composed of two strings. The modern

Erhu is tuned in pure fifths and is a mid-range and high-

range instrument among the huqin. Nowadays, various places

have independently developed bowedstring instruments of

different shapes according to the required conditions, such

as Gaohu, Jinghu, Banhu, Erxian, and trumpet string. In

order to meet the needs of symphonicization of Chinese

music, Zhonghu and other instruments were also invented

based onthe format of Erhu.
