Four red strings

These strings were presented as a gift to Tsar Teh-yun from Shen Caonong in the 1940s. At that time, nobody was making qin strings. So it is estimated that the latest timing of production of the strings was late Qing Dynasty or the early years of the Republic of China.
The exhibit comprises only the first to the fourth strings. Three of them are brand new. One has been used, but probably only on a trial basis. They are formerly in the collection of Tsar Teh-yun.
