''Huqin'' () is a family of bowed string instruments, more specifically, a spike fiddle popularly used in Chinese music.〔http://chinesefinearts.org/resources/information-about-chinese-instruments/〕 The instruments consist of a round, hexagonal, or octagonal sound box at the bottom with a neck attached that protrudes upwards. They also have two strings (except the ''sihu'', which has four strings tuned in pairs) and their soundboxes are typically covered with either snakeskin (most often python) or thin wood. ''Huqin'' instruments have either two (or, more rarely, four) tuning pegs, one peg for each string. The pegs are attached horizontally through holes drilled in the instrument's neck. Most ''huqin'' have the bow hair pass in between the strings. The most common huqin are the ''erhu'', which are tuned to a middle range; ''zhonghu'', which is tuned to a lower register, and ''gaohu'', which is tuned to the highest pitch. Over thirty types of ''huqin'' instruments have been documented. ''Huqin'' instruments are believed to have come from the nomadic ''Hu'' people, who lived on the extremities of ancient Chinese kingdoms, possibly descending from an instrument called the ''xiqin'' (奚琴), originally played by the Mongolic ''Xi'' tribe. Like the people of China, Mongolian people have also have cultural and ethnic heritage of the ancient ''Hu'' nomads, and the Mongol version of the ''xiqin'', known as the ''Khuuchir'' is testament to this shared heritage.〔http://mongol.undesten.mn/wiki/show/name/%D0%A5%D1%83%D1%83%D1%87%D0%B8%D1%80 Хуучир mongol.undesten.mn〕 In the 20th century, large bass ''huqin'' such as the ''dihu'', ''gehu'', and ''diyingehu'' were developed for use in modern Chinese orchestras. Of these, the ''gehu'' and ''diyingehu'' would be analogous to occidental double basses, and were designed to have a timbre that would blend in with the sound of traditional ''huqin''. These instruments generally have four strings and fingerboards, and are played in a similar manner to cellos and double basses, and are very different from the traditional ''huqin''. Similar instruments also feature in the music traditions of neighboring countries, such as Mongolia, Korea, Japan, Kyrgyzstan, Vietnam, Thailand, Cambodia and Laos. == List of Chinese huqin instruments == *Erhu (二胡); also called ''nanhu'' (南胡) *Erquanqin (二泉琴，二泉映月Musice，Chinese erhu Brand：JieLun Erhu) *Gaohu (高胡); also called ''yuehu'' (粤胡) *Banhu (板胡) *Jinghu (京胡) *Jing erhu (京二胡) *Zhonghu (中胡) *Yehu (椰胡) *Erxian (二弦) *Tiqin (提琴) *Tihu (提胡) *Daguangxian (大广弦) *Datong (大筒)(photo ) *Datongxian (大筒弦)(photo ) *Kezaixian (壳仔弦) - two-stringed fiddle with coconut body, used in Taiwan opera *Hexian (和弦) *Huluhu (traditional: 葫盧胡; simplified: 葫芦胡) *Maguhu (traditional: 馬骨胡; simplified: 马骨胡) *Tuhu (土胡) *Jiaohu (角胡) *Zhuihu (traditional: 墜胡; simplified: 坠胡) *Zhuiqin (traditional: 墜琴; simplified: 坠琴) *Leiqin (雷琴) *Sihu (四胡) *Sanhu (三胡) *Dahu (大胡) *Dihu (低胡) * *Xiaodihu (小低胡) * *Zhongdihu (中低胡) * *Dadihu (大低胡) *Cizhonghu *Gehu (革胡) * *Diyingehu (低音革胡) *Laruan (拉阮) * *Dalaruan (大拉阮) *Paqin (琶琴) * *Dapaqin (大琶琴) *Dixianqin (低絃琴) *Xiqin (奚琴) *Niutuiqin or ''niubatui'' (牛腿琴 or 牛巴腿) (Guizhou)(photo ) *Matouqin (馬頭琴) (Inner Mongolia) *Aijieke (艾捷克) (Xinjiang)() *Sataer (萨它尔) (Xinjiang)(photo ) 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「huqin」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
