The name of the guqin should be based on its characteristics, such as: timbre, appearance...
For example, among my three guqins: the first one (Zhongni) has clear overtones Ju, so it was named Zhuji, the second one (Zhenghe) was named Xiannian (meaning past times) because of its ancient sound, and the third one (Fuxi) was named Xuanhe because of its dark brown body and gorgeous painted patterns. /p>
