The yazheng (simplified Chinese: 轧筝; traditional Chinese: 軋箏; pinyin: yàzhēng; also spelled zha zheng or zha cheng) is a Chinese string instrument.[1] It is a traditional zither similar to the guzheng but bowed by scraping with a rosined stick or a horsehair bow, (or plucked sometimes). 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 Chinese: 轧琴; traditional Chinese: 軋琴).[2]
