The guzheng, also known as the Chinese zither, has a history that spans over 2,500 years. Originating during the Warring States period, the instrument has evolved from a simple 5-stringed zither to the sophisticated 21-stringed instrument commonly seen today. The guzheng has played a vital role in Chinese music, often associated with court music, folk traditions, and contemporary compositions. Its unique sound is created by plucking the strings with a combination of finger techniques, allowing for a wide range of expressive possibilities.

Born and raised in Southeast China, Charlotte began studying the guzheng from a very young age. Charlotte's dedication and skill were recognized when she obtained the Grade 10 certification (previously Performance Certificate) from the Xinghai Conservatory of Music. Charlotte is passionate about promoting the art of guzheng and sharing its rich history with fellow music lovers through performing at different events and participating in music groups. Through her efforts, Charlotte hopes to bring greater awareness and appreciation of this beautiful instrument to a wider audience.
