The Ruan, also known as Ruanxian, is one of
the traditional plucked string instruments in China with a long history. Its
name originates from Ruan Xian, one of the "Seven Sages of the Bamboo
Grove" during the Western Jin Dynasty, who was skilled in playing this
instrument, hence the name.
阮，又称阮咸，是中国传统的拨弦乐器之一，拥有悠久的历史。其名字来源于西晋时期的“竹林七贤”之一阮咸，他擅长弹奏此乐器，因而得名。
The Ruan has a slightly similar appearance
to a moon lute or pipa, with a round resonating chamber. It is typically made
of hardwood, with paulownia wood used for the front and back panels, which are
bent in the middle. It has four strings and twelve frets, producing a rich and
clear tone that combines the charm of both the guqin and guzheng, sometimes
described as having certain characteristics of the guitar.
阮的外形略似月琴或琵琶，具有圆形的共鸣箱，通常由硬木制成，两面面板多用桐木，中间经过弯曲处理。它有四根弦，十二品位，音色既醇厚又清澈，兼具古琴与古筝的韵味，有时也被描述带有吉他的某些特性。
The Ruan has a wide range and is capable of
expressing various musical nuances, suitable for solo, ensemble, and ethnic
orchestra performances.
阮的音域宽广，表现力丰富，能够适应独奏、重奏以及民族乐队合奏等多种演奏形式。
Depending on their size and pitch, the Ruan

Ruan (tenor ruan), Xiao Ruan (alto ruan), and Di Ruan (bass ruan). In recent
years, variations like the high-pitched Ruan and low-pitched Ruan have also
emerged to meet the demands of different musical compositions.
根据尺寸和音高的不同，阮可以分为大阮、中阮、小阮和低阮等多种类型，近年来还有高音阮、低音阮等变种，以适应不同音乐作品的需求。

to fill the middle-range and adds unique colors and depth to musical works.
