The Guqin instrument itself is full of legendary symbolic colors, for example, it is 3 feet 6 inches 5 minutes long. Representing 365 days in a year, the surface of the qin is curved, representing the sky, and the bottom of the qin is flat, symbolizing the earth. Also known as the theory of a round sky and a round place.

The Guqin has 13 badges, representing 12 months and leap months in a year.

The guqin originally had five strings, symbolizing gold, wood, water, fire, and earth.

King Wen of Zhou added a string to mourn his deceased son Boyi Kao. When King Wu conquered Zhou, he added another string to boost morale, hence the ancient qin, also known as the Wenwu Seven Stringed Qin.
