Old red string
The colour of the exhibit has turned dark. This is a result of the left hand running over the string. A bright red colour is retained where the string has not been touched by the hand. There are obvious signs that the section next to the knot at the head has been plucked, showing that the string has been used for a period of time. This serves as evidence that red strings were used by qin players in the past. This string is formerly in the collection of Zheng Minzhong and its production date is estimated to be around late Qing Dynasty or the early years of the Republic of China.
