Pipa (Chinese Lute) dates back to the Qin Dynasty (221-206BC). As Pipa evolved, it was heavily influenced by Persian culture during the Tang Dynasty (618 - 907 AD), when the two great civilizations crossed over with each other, and became one of the most popular instruments in China ever since then.

As Pipa prospered in the most powerful Chinese dynasty, it left tremendous markings in the Chinese literature and culture. Pipa is most well-known for its rapid, successive playing style. A famous quote from a Chinese poem has it nailed: "the pearls, large and small, on a jade plate fall."
