It's A Lute With A Spherical, Hollow Picket Body Which Supplies It The Nickname Moon Stringed Instrument. It's A Brief Fretted Neck And 4 Strings Tuned In Courses Of 2 (Each Combine Of Strings Is Tuned To One Pitch), Typically Tuned To The Interval Of An Ideal Fifth. 
            According To Tradition, The Instrument Was Fancied In China Throughout The Jin Phratry (265–420). The Ruan, Another Chinese Instrument, Is That The Ascendent Of The Yueqin.

The Frets On All Chinese Lutes Square Measure High In Order That The Fingers Ne'er Bit The Particular Body—Distinctively Completely Different From Western Fretted Instruments. This Permits For A Bigger Management Over Quality And Intonation Than Their Western Counterparts, However Makes Musical Note Taking Part In Harder.

Often, The Body Of The Yueqin Could Also Be Octangular.
