The ''yazheng'' (simplified: 轧筝; traditional: 軋箏; pinyin: yàzhēng; also spelled ''ya zheng'' or ''ya cheng'') is a Chinese string instrument. It is a long zither similar to the guzheng but bowed by scraping with a sorghum stem dusted with resin, a bamboo stick, or a piece of forsythia wood. The musical instrument was popular in the Tang Dynasty, but is today little used except in the folk music of some parts of northern China, where it is called ''yaqin'' (simplified: 轧琴; traditional: 軋琴). The Korean ''ajaeng'' (hangul: 아쟁; hanja: 牙箏) is derived from the ''yazheng''. In 2002, the People's Republic of China released a postage stamp featuring the instrument. The ''zhengni'' (筝尼) is a similar instrument used by the Zhuang people of the southern Chinese region of Guangxi. ==External links== *(Yazheng page ) (Chinese) *(Ya qin page ) 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Yazheng」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
