[0002] The pipa is the foremost plucked instrument and a plucked string instrument. The pipa is made of wood, with a semi-pear-shaped sound box, and has four strings installed. Originally, silk strings were used, and now steel wires, steel ropes, and nylon are mostly used. "Frets" and "positions" for determining the pitch are provided on the neck and the soundboard. When playing, it is held vertically, the left hand presses the strings, and the five fingers of the right hand pluck. It is an important national musical instrument that can be used for solo, accompaniment, ensemble, and chamber music. The "Jue" in the two characters "pipa" means "two pieces of jade colliding, producing a pleasant impact sound", indicating that this is a musical instrument that produces sound by plucking the strings. The names "pi" and "pa" come from the right-hand playing techniques of these instruments. That is to say, pi and pa were originally the names of two playing techniques. Pi is to pluck forward with the right hand, and pa is to pick backward with the right hand.
