Jinyu Strings, product of Suzhou No.1 National Musical Instrument Factory (produced in the 1980s)

The quality of Jinyu Strings deteriorated markedly in the 1970s and 1980s. The prints cut out from old wrappings were pasted on the inside and outside of the paper box used in the 1980s.
The spare string is missing in the exhibit. The thread used to tie the fifth to seventh strings has been lost. The method of tying the first to fourth strings has also changed to the use of red threads.
