And there is haegeum in Korea...!! I play the haegeum you know.^^

[@michaelsmusicinstruments9980]

Yes, that's right, my research wasn't good enough. Sorry. I'm currently working on my next project: Korea Musikinstrumente, Haegeum, Gayageum, Geomungo, Dangjeok, Janggu, buk ... ... ..., the Haegeum will definitely be a part of it, the model is already finished !!!! :-)

[@michaelsmusicinstruments9980]

the haegeum video finally finished :-) kzbin.info/www/bejne/eqW9foajdqeLm5I

[@BlackLotusVisualArchive]

This video is misleading. The Erhu did not originate in the Tang Dynasty, it originated in the Qing Dynasty. It evolved from a family of instruments that came from the Xiqin, the Xiqin being a wood-topped fiddle that came to China from the Kumo Xi before the Tang. The Xiqin is still played in Korea, where it's called the Haegeum. The fiddle used in Nanguan ensembles in Fujian also highly resembles the Xiqin and the Haegeum. The Erhu and Gaohu as we know it, derived from two different sizes of the Erxian, a name which in different parts of Southern China, refers to different varieties 2 stringed Huqin. The Erhu wasn't a popular instrument in China until Liu Tianhua brought it to Beijing in the 1920s. Before that, the North of China preferred the Sihu and the Banhu. The Sihu is now almost exclusively played by Mongolian Aser ensembles and by the last Manchu musicians who play the court music of the Qing dynasty. It's actually kinda sad that the Erhu has replaced a lot of regional varieties of Huqin. The Kokyuu also does not come from the Erhu. It's likely the Okinawan Kucho it came from, was the result of trade with Southeast Asia. It's more similar to the Saw Sam Sai of Thailand, and the Rebab of Indonesia. Indeed, it also shares its form and playing techniques with Rebabs from the Middle East.

Thanks for the additional information. I will do later an extra project with video, or a folder on my Artstation page, about the huge family of Huqin stringed instrument. I think after that I will be able to better understand the origin and history of Haegeum, Kucho and Kokyu. Current internet sources on these 3 instruments are rather controversial. Many thanks for the information on Banhu and Sihu

I prefer the shamisen to the sanxian but I prefer the erhu to the kokyu.

[@Drimwastaken]

[@iwantkebabinmypizza5305]

Chinesee copy mongols and tungus

[@casanova-late]

@@iwantkebabinmypizza5305 the Chinese were influenced by the mongols and the ether thing you said but the Japanese admired anything that the Chinese did and they only wanted relations with the Korean dynasty’s so they could have access to China the Japanese should give the Chinese credit for 85 percent of their culture

[@karahafu]

ironic. because the same can be said about Chinese pop-culture. Also, theres a difference between influence and copying. fyi your pfp is a japanese game character. smh uneducated shinajin
