Usage notes

edit
  • In the past, the 古琴 was referred to only as 琴 (qín), but it now has the prefix 古- (“ancient”) to distinguish it from other instruments which also use the word 琴 (qín). The 古琴 may be referred to as 琴 (qín) after the first mention of 古琴.
  • It is sometimes confused with the guzheng (古箏／古筝) which is a different stringed instrument.
