Hello, I'm from China. Your video is very good. But there are some mistakes. Guqin and Guzheng are two different musical instruments. The origin of guzheng is closer “瑟”。There is a legend of creating the guzheng in China. For you, the guzheng in the video is a modern improved one in China. From the Tang Dynasty to the Qing Dynasty, the guzheng was very similar to that of Mongolia. The Tang dynasty is the same as koto. And now China and Fujian Province have the same guzheng as Viet Nam. Moreover, there are many kinds of guzheng strings, and different strings have different timbres.
hello jiahao ji thank you very much for your info. I am still in the research phase for the Chinese instruments as there is a lot of culture and history to read. Guqin and Guzheng, are very important instruments in Chinese history and of course will get their own video. Guzheng, Se and Yatga overlap a bit in the information so I am very grateful for any advice, thank you. Currently I am working on the long history of the sheng/saenghwang/Sho (Yu/hé) and its free reed technique which has influenced western instruments and science. In this research I could read a lot about the cultural importance of the guqin and their roots in Fuxi. The instruments from Tomb of Marquis Yi of Zeng, from Mawangdui Tomb (i think some of the oldest existing gu qin and guzheng were found there) or from the cave paintings in Dunhuang have already inspired me very much. I am very much looking forward to modeling and exploring these beautiful chinese instruments.
This was very informative and educational. I'm Mongolian, but I don't know much about traditional instruments so I was curious and confused between our yatga and other plucked instruments from Asia since they sound so similar, especially guzheng. This saved me a lot of time and it was very exciting and rare to see our traditional instrument being included, therefore thank you!
thank you very much hxr g, I am glad that you like it. On my Artsation page you will find more traditional Mongolian music instruments, Mongolia has a beautiful music culture www.artstation.com/michaelcga/albums/3147304
@@michaelsmusicinstruments9980 oh that's amazing, I'll definitely check it out! Incidentally I was also super impressed with art and little personalizations such as lotus flower and leaf, rose and mongolian hat hha!
thank you, I took a stylized weather video from NASA, made everything except the clouds black and then ran it as an alpha mask video texture on a sphere above the earth.
@@michaelsmusicinstruments9980 I used to heart a lot of ancient music of the Southern Vietnam, South Vietnamese use tranh zither to express sadness, loneliness, the voice in the heart when relatives abroad go to war , or suffering, the affection between people in times of tribulation and difficulty, different from Chinese guzheng, which is a symbol of happiness. The sound is strong and the sound hits people's feelings and hearts, while the Vietnamese zither emphasizes kindness and affection between people, to express every mood in the heart, and that is the beauty of the Vietnamese zither.
Hello, That's what I thought too. But I think it will be a bit more complicated, since "china" or the different dynasties and kingdoms have always assimilated instruments of the "barbarian peoples" a reverse way would also be conceivable. Probably the respective "zither family tree" like Qin and Guzheng must consider independently. Current archaeological findings (such as the Tomb of Marquis Yi of Zeng) point to their origin because of manufacturing techniques, materials and cultural connections, but I am still researching the "exact" origin of the Chinese and Mongolian zithers for a separate video. A very interesting topic.

I saw the Roneat Ek during the research, it's on my list. A very beautiful instrument from Cambodia. Instruments from Vietnam, Thailand and Cambodia are Absolutely on the to do list.
You seem to know a lot about Chinese and Japanese string instruments, but you seem to have a poor understanding of Korean instruments. Looking at the end of the video, while introducing various string instruments in China and Japan, there is only one gayageum in Korea. People from many different countries watching this video would think that there is only one traditional string instrument in Korea. Geomungo, Ajaeng and etc. should also be introduced, and it is also curious that the origins of other musical instruments in Japan are not linked to the Chinese zhang.
He is a European, and is doing a very good job all things considered. People have also complained about lack of knowledge on Chinese instrument lol. He is a great modeler.
Butchered the pronunciations!!! Gayageum has only hard "g"s in its name. It sounds close to "gahh" "yah" "gum" (in the English pronunciations of these words).

Hello Long Huỳnh. The Đàn tranh zither is really a very beautiful instrument, and I really liked it. I'll make a special about it later.

@@longhuynh4283 this instrument found me recently. And I feel the same way, it's beautiful.
Thanks 👍 I was looking for this information for a long time 🙇♀️
Excellent!
thank you
Vert interesting video^^
Excellent as always. like 2
thank you Makig Vines
in Indonesia it's called "kecapi"
So basically Mongolians took the guqin and added bridges under each string, creating the guzheng family?

Sorry, you are wrong. The tomb of Zeng Houyi is 瑟。The earliest zither in China is the Warring States zither in Jiangxi Province.

The pronunciation of "koto" is so off 😓
That's actually the least bad of this text to speech bot's mispronunciation lol.
