The Resonance of the Qin in East Asian Art

By Stephen Addiss and Mitchell Clark

The Resonance of Qin in East Asian Art explores the rich cultural resonance of the qin (chin), a stringed instrument whose 2,000-year history in East Asia is traced in the almost 40 paintings, sculptures, drawings, woodblock prints, and domestic and scholar's objects inspired by its forms. This exhibition examines the qin's varying roles in East Asian cultures, and reveals how its unique aesthetic became associated with scholarly ideals and the pursuit of enlightenment.
