The Luoxia-style Guqin was a type of Guqin with a unique appearance and cultural meaning. On both sides of the body of the zither, the clouds were undulating, just like the clouds in the sky. The back of the zither was engraved with the name of the zither, the poems of literati, inscriptions, and seals. 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 strings could be divided into steel strings (nylon-coated steel wire), traditional silk strings (made of mulberry silk), and ice strings (said to be synthetic materials that combined the advantages of steel strings and silk strings and overcome the shortcomings of both). Different strings had their own advantages and disadvantages, and could be selected according to their needs. Its size was 123 centimeters long, 20 centimeters wide, and 108 centimeters long.

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.

Although there was a problem with being pretentious and slapping his face, the overall setting was not bad. He was rated as a seedling of grain and grass, and his book group was 709045207. The third young master of the Tang family's "Qin Di" was also very good. It was a fantasy modern magic genre. The main character, Ye Yinzhu, grew from an innocent teenager to the king of the zither. She created the first music magic, and the rainbow level setting was super cool. There were elements such as magic, battle energy, behemoths, and dragons in the story. Although the ending was a little controversial and the harem plot was unsatisfactory, it was still a very mature book among Third Young Master's works. It was extremely popular back then and was strongly recommended. There was also the Immortal Guqin Emperor, a Xianxia novel written by the online black man. The young zither player with a deficient innate Yang meridian had benefited from his misfortune and started the path of cultivation.

The following is a rough price list of the zither: - 1000 yuan or less: The quality of this kind of zither is not guaranteed. Most of them are made of jerry-built materials. The paint may be chemical paint, which has health risks. - 2000 - 5000 yuan: The workmanship is slightly rough, and there are often problems such as finger resistance, hitting the board, and sand sound. It can only be used as an entry-level fingering practice piano and cannot be used for a long time. - 5000 - 10000 yuan: It can be called a real practice piano. There is no problem with long-term use, but the quality and sound quality cannot be expected too high. The basic requirements are that there is no resistance to fingers, hitting the board, and sand sound problems. The sound quality is passable. It is recommended to choose a brand piano, such as the Dunhuang Guqin. - 10000 - 15000 yuan: Most of them were high-grade factory pianos or second-tier or third-tier handmade pianos. This price was a little awkward. The quality and sound quality could not be compared with famous pianos. - 18000 yuan and above: made of raw lacquer, deerhorn frost, and old wood. The tone is uniform, without the above problems, and the tone and feel are better. - Those priced between 3000 to 5000 yuan belonged to the class of practice instruments, which were basically factory instruments. - 5000 to 10000 yuan was a grade higher than practicing the piano. Most of them were produced by famous second-tier producers. - 10000 - 100000 yuan could buy a second or third-line zither maker's personal zither or a first-line zither maker's supervised zither. The material and workmanship were generally good, mostly using Chinese cedar and lacquer. - Those who were worth more than 100000 yuan were basically first-rate masters who personally crafted the zither. They were at the top of the pyramid of zither quality. - The custom-made models cost hundreds of thousands. In addition, there were also performance level items that ranged from 5000 to 10000 yuan. Of course, there were also low-priced guqins on the market, such as props that cost tens of yuan, but these types of guqins were not suitable for formal practice and performance.
