Danbooru の英語定義
The Ruan (阮) traditional Chinese plucked string musical instrument. It is very similar to a pipa (instrument), being a lute (instrument) with a fretted neck, a circular body, and four strings., but it has a round circle, rather than pear, shaped base. In classical Chinese from Han to Tang, pipa referred to any plucked-string instrument. It is believed that ruan may have been descended from an instrument called xiantao (弦鼗) which was constructed by labourers on the Great Wall of China during the late Qin dynasty (hence the name Qin pipa) using strings stretched over a pellet drum.
