- The symbol of love and marriage: The harmony of the zither symbolizes love and marriage under the ritual and music civilization. The qin had seven strings, and the zither had twenty-five strings. The two were often played together and coordinated with each other, in line with the ancient aesthetic concept of the combination of yin and yang, thus deriving the symbolic meaning of love and marriage. For example,"Zhou Nan·Guan Ju","My fair lady, the zither and the zither are friends","Zheng Feng·Nu Yue Ji Ming","The zither and the zither are in the imperial palace, all quiet and good", etc.
- The musical carrier of stabilizing political rule: The performance of the zither and the zither was commonly used in ritual music. When the emperor entertained the vassals, he used the zither to stabilize the relationship between the monarch and his subjects. In sacrificial ceremonies, the zither and lyre ensembles could express reverence for ghosts and gods and achieve the purpose of maintaining rule through sacrificial ceremonies. The lyre was an important instrument in sacrificial ceremonies, such as the descriptions in poems such as "Xiao Ya·Lu Ming" and "Xiao Ya·Fu Tian".
- The expression of the gentleman's character under the traditional ritual music: The zither and the lyre were endowed with the gentleman's character. When the gentleman played the zither and the lyre, he conveyed his inner feelings and life understanding through the performance of music.

The system of zither and lyre, as well as the illustration and fingering method, can be found in the zither score. From the perspective of the development of musical instruments, the zither was lost in the Northern and Southern Dynasties. Although some people restored it according to ancient books and used it to perform elegant music in the palace after the Tang and Song Dynasties, it had disappeared from the folk. The zither was gradually replaced by the zither, mainly because the zither had fewer strings, was cheaper to manufacture, and was easier to carry. After continuous improvement, it became more popular than the zither.
