Tao Chu-Shen playing Zheng
 For
those of you who haven't heard of it, the Zheng (also known as the
Guzheng) is a 7 string Zither from China.
The Zheng is one of the most ancient Chinese musical instruments
and has been described in literature from at least 206 BC.
There are similar instruments in other Asian countries such as
the Japanese Koto, the Korean Kayagum and the Mongolian Yatag.
This particular piece is called Ping Sha Luo Yan which translates
as Geese Descending on the Sandy Isle and was written in the 17th
century.
