About the Item

Vintage Chinese Yue Qin with Handpainted Longevity Patterns – Traditional Wooden Lute Instrument This Vintage Chinese Yue Qin is a stunning example of traditional Chinese musical craftsmanship, beautifully made from solid wood and adorned with handpainted longevity patterns (寿)—symbols of long life, prosperity, and well-being in Chinese culture. Known as the “moon guitar” for its round body, the Yue Qin is a classic plucked string instrument used in folk and opera music, cherished for its bright, resonant tone. The surface features delicate brush-painted motifs in rich colors, combining the elegance of Chinese calligraphy and auspicious symbolism with the fine artistry of instrument-making. Whether displayed as a decorative antique or used in performance, this Yue Qin offers cultural richness and artistic value. Perfect for collectors of Asian instruments, musicians, or as a meaningful gift that embodies both beauty and tradition.
