The invention discloses a guqin (a plucked seven-string Chinese musical instrument of the zither family), comprising a face plate and a bottom plate. The face plate comprises a first inner plate surface and a first outer plate surface. The first inner plate surface is provided with a dragon pool sound absorber and a phoenix pond sound absorber, and the structures of the dragon pool sound absorber and the phoenix pond sound absorber are the same and are characterized in that, a sound absorber and a connecting block are included, the cross section of the connecting block is in the shape of a trapezoid, the upper bottom surface of the connecting block is connected to the first inner plate surface, and the lower bottom surface of the connecting block is connected to the sound absorber. The bottom plate comprises a second inner plate surface and a second outer plate surface, and the second inner plate surface is laid with a felt layer. The guqin is advantageous in that, through the sound absorber shape and structure in a guqin face plate, a traditional mode is changed, and the effect of effectively increasing sound volume of the guqin can be achieved; the felt layer is added in the bottom plate, so that, in the time that the sound volume of the guqin is increased, tone quality is ensured; and a big breakthrough is made for a traditional guqin, and a guidance meaning in the development process of the guqin is provided.
