A Chinese instrument. Long neck boi with two metal strings, one outer and the other inner. Play by pulling and pushing a bow against the strings, so it's kinda like a violin's long distance relative but vertical and thin. Capable of making chicken screaming noises (Mandarin version of the noise: 杀鸡(killing chicken) - basically means the sound produced sounds like a dying chicken - "哇，他拉得像杀鸡一样！"(wow he's playing it like he's killing a chicken)). But then u can also make horse neighing noises on it. Who knows.
Can sound very sad but also can sound very happy.
Can sound very sad but also can sound very happy.
