It was designed by a <strong>civilian<\/strong> artist named Wang Dianyu in imitation of another kind of musical instrument named zhuihu. He was born in a poor family in Shandong province. When he was young, he went blind from smallpox. However, he showed <strong>diligence<\/strong> and talent in learning to perform many musical instruments including zhuihu. At the end of the 1920s, he made great changes to zhuihu. The shaft was lengthened, and the canister was <strong>expanded,<\/strong> which was covered with the skin of boa. The new instrument became louder, and the range was increased. In 1953, it was called &quot;leiqin&quot;<strong> formally<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>  \tThe instrument is made up of five parts. The shaft, head and tuning page are made of hardwood. The head is like a shovel. The surface of the tuning page is <strong>carved<\/strong>. The canister is made of<strong> copperplate<\/strong>. The bow is longer than that of the urhien. There are two specifications of leiqin. The big one measures at 110cms, while the small one <strong>measures<\/strong> at 90cms. Usually, the instrument is tuned <strong>according to <\/strong>the preferences of the performers. There may be three and half octaves within the range. The range of the small leiqin is the same as the big one, which is one octave higher than the latter.<\/p>\n<p>  \tThe performers should sit while playing. The canister is put on the left leg, with the left hand pressing the strings and a bow in the right hand plucking. <strong>In most cases<\/strong>, the performer uses his or her index finger and the third finger to press the strings. Leiqin has a wide range, a high volume and a soft tone. It can perform solo, concert and ensemble. In addition, it can produce sound in imitation of human voices, arias of the Chinese operas, calling of the animals, and the sound effect of the orchestral and percussion instruments such as the urhien, gong, drum and so on.<\/p>\n<p>  \t<strong>Words :<br \/>  \t<\/strong>\u96f7\u7434<script language=\"Javascript\">GetWord(\"\u96f7\u7434\");<\/script>l&eacute;iq&iacute;n: Leiqin (leihu\u96f7\u80e1l&eacute;ih&uacute;\uff0czhuihu\u5760\u80e1zhu&igrave;h&uacute;)<br \/>  \t\u6c11\u95f4\u7684<script language=\"Javascript\">GetWord(\"\u6c11\u95f4\u7684\");<\/script>m&iacute;nji\u0101n de: civilian<br \/>  \t\u52e4\u594b<script language=\"Javascript\">GetWord(\"\u52e4\u594b\");<\/script>q&iacute;n f&egrave;n: diligence<br \/>  \t\u62d3\u5bbd<script language=\"Javascript\">GetWord(\"\u62d3\u5bbd\");<\/script>tu&ograve;ku\u0101n: expand<br \/>  \t\u6b63\u89c4\u5730<script language=\"Javascript\">GetWord(\"\u6b63\u89c4\u5730\");<\/script>zh&egrave;n\u0261\u0261u\u012b de: formally<br \/>  \t\u96d5\u523b\u7684<script language=\"Javascript\">GetWord(\"\u96d5\u523b\u7684\");<\/script>di\u0101ok&egrave; de: carve<br \/>  \t\u94dc\u7248<script language=\"Javascript\">GetWord(\"\u94dc\u7248\");<\/script>t&oacute;n\u0261b\u01cen: copperplate<br \/>  \t\u5c3a\u5bf8<script language=\"Javascript\">GetWord(\"\u5c3a\u5bf8\");<\/script>ch\u01d0c&ugrave;n: measure<br \/>  \t\u6839\u636e<script language=\"Javascript\">GetWord(\"\u6839\u636e\");<\/script>\u0261\u0113nj&ugrave;: according to<br \/>  \t\u5728\u5927\u591a\u7684\u60c5\u51b5\u4e0b<script language=\"Javascript\">GetWord(\"\u5728\u5927\u591a\u7684\u60c5\u51b5\u4e0b\");<\/script>z&agrave;i d&agrave;du\u014d de q&iacute;n\u0261ku&agrave;n\u0261 xi&agrave;: in most cases<\/p>\n<div class=\"chine-tie-zi-nei-rong-zhi-hou\" id=\"chine-435243532\"><script async src=\"\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js?client=ca-pub-1889418300638825\" crossorigin=\"anonymous\"><\/script><ins class=\"adsbygoogle\" style=\"display:block;\" data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-1889418300638825\" \ndata-ad-slot=\"7273022922\" \ndata-ad-layout-key=\"-gw-3+1f-3d+2z\"\ndata-ad-format=\"fluid\"><\/ins>\n<script> \n(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); \n<\/script>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Leiqin is also called leihu, which appeared in the 1920s.
