<p><b>New page</b></p><div>The '''sanxian''' (三弦) is a common three-stringed plucked instrument of the [[Han]], Mongolian and other minority ethnic groups. The sound-body is made of round wooden box covered with snake skin, just like [[erhu]]. The small sanxian is mostly used for accompaniment in [[Kunqu opera]]; while the large one as accompaniment for the northern quyi (Chinese folk art forms, including ballad singing, story-telling, comic dialogues, and clapper talks), [[dagu]] (versified story sung to the accompaniment of a small drum and other instruments), and [[danxian]] (story-telling by singing to musical accompaniment). Due to its unique tone color, it was later made a part of traditional orchestras.<br />
