Wang Bing, an inheritor of the guqin (Chinese zither) making technique, creates guqin in a studio in Zunyi city, Guizhou province, April 7, 2021. The guqin, a seven-stringed plucked instrument, has a history of more than 3,000 years. It takes over a hundred working procedures to make the instrument, including material selection, lacquering, tone tuning. In 2003, guqin art was listed as a world intangible cultural heritage by UNESCO. [Photo/Xinhua]
