bowed string instrument used primarily in Henan opera and other folk performing arts
Comes in two varieties: one with a python-skin resonator face (similar to sihu but shorter) and one with a paulownia-wood face (similar to small sanxian). Originally specific to Henan Zhuizi (河南坠子), it has since been adopted as accompaniment in various quyi (storytelling) forms and regional operas.
