The four ancient China zither were Duke Huan of Qi's "Hao Zhong", King Zhuang of Chu's "Roundabout the Beam", Sima Xiangru's "Green Silk" and Cai Yong's "Jiao Wei". The "Hao Zhong" was a famous zither of the Zhou Dynasty. Its sound was so loud that it was like the sound of a bell and the sound of a horn. It was deafening. The ancient outstanding zither player Bo Ya once played it and later belonged to Duke Huan of Qi. "Round-the-Beam" belonged to King Zhuang of Chu, and the lingering sound was continuous. The name of the qin was "Round-the-Beam", which showed the characteristics of its tone. The legend originated from the story of a Korean geisha, Han E, who sang for three days while begging for food. This qin was a gift from Hua Yuan to King Zhuang of Chu. However, King Zhuang of Chu was too obsessed with this qin and abandoned his state affairs. In the end, he ordered people to smash the qin. The " Green Charm " was a zither played by Sima Xiangru in the Han Dynasty. It was entirely black and faintly suffused with green, like green vines winding around ancient trees, hence its name. The King of Liang once gave Sima Xiangru the "Green Charm" zither in return. Jiao Wei was a zither made by Cai Yong of the Eastern Han Dynasty. When Cai Yong was "fleeing for his life in Jianghai and going far to Wuhui", he rescued a piece of unburnt sycamore wood from a fire and made this qin with an unusual sound. Because the tail of the qin still had scorch marks, it was named "Scorched Tail". It was famous for its pleasant tone and unique method of making it.

Judging from the materials used, there were many kinds of Luoxia Guqin made of Chinese Fir, old spruce, century-old Chinese Fir, old Chinese Alpinia, and other materials. In terms of production techniques, there was a pure raw lacquer antler frost technique. In terms of strings, there were generally seven strings.

The zither style of Zhongni was also known as the Confucius style or the Confucius style. The head of the zither was a common square head. The neck and shoulders of the zither retracted into a slanted arc, the waist retracted into a square strip, the neck folded inward, and the waist folded into a straight line. The whole body was simple and generous, and the arc was round and square. It was quite the Confucian way of life. The biggest difference between it and the other zither was that it was very simple. There were only two concave folds at the waist and neck, and the rest were not decorated. There was a song in the straight, and the song was straight, reflecting the Confucian style of the mean. It is precisely because of the simple structure, the sound is elegant and pure, in line with the gentleman's voice. It was said that it was created by Confucius and belonged to the category of saints who made zither. However, there was no literature to verify this statement, but it was appropriate to use the name "Zhongni". This shape was one of the two most widely spread and commonly used shapes. Most scholars loved the Zhongni-style zither because its style was simple and unadorned. It had the air of a scholar, and its voice was neutral and peaceful. It was an elegant sound that was the confidant of most scholars. From the number of production, since ancient times, Zhongni style zither was the most cut. For example, among the more than 200 guqin contained in the "Jin Yu Qin Periodical," the Zhongni style accounted for 80%, and among the 109 guqin introduced in the "China Guqin Treasures," 62 pieces were Zhongni style, accounting for 60%. The Zhongni-style guqin, such as the "Pine of Ten Thousand Gullies" and "Jade Pot Ice" collected by the Palace Museum, were elegant, dignified, and exquisite. Their high notes were ethereal and euphemistic, the middle notes were mellow and beautiful, and the low notes were deep and tranquil. They had the same characteristics as the modern Zhongni-style guqin. In the classification of ancient zither making, it belonged to the sage making zither. Nowadays, there were many types of zither, and zither players were willing to try different shapes, but Zhongni style was still the first choice of literati.
