In the past, rich families and royalties preferred to use rare woods to make the guqin, such as nanmu, Pterocarpus santalinus, or mahogany. Guqin is commonly made of paulownia wood, which makes the guqin lighter and its tone sweeter than other woods. These instruments were developed over thousands of years.

Stringed music is prominent in China, especially in the Jiangnan region, where it is the name of all the instruments made from wood and string.
