Liuqin is a smaller version of pipa with four strings, which sound similar to mandolin. Liuqin is played with a piece of spectrum, and is used to be accompanying instrument for folk songs and local opera. However, in recent decades, composer Wang Huiran made great contribution to its making and composed many pieces such that the liuqin also becomes a soloist instrument.
