Enshi dulcimer, also called Enshi Sixian. It was broadcast in Enshi, Xianfeng, Lichuan, Laifeng, Xuanen and other counties of Enshi Tujia and Miao Autonomous Prefecture, but there is no text to test. When it originated, artists have different opinions. It is said that during the Guangxu period of the Qing Dynasty, a Sichuan artist named Zhang once held a class in Enshi County and introduced the dulcimer to Enshi. One said he was the father of the famous artist Zhan Zifan. During Guangxu period, he served as the magistrate of Zunyi, Guizhou. Because of his love for piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, he brought back the dulcimer from Guizhou. He taught this skill to Zhan Zifan, who later taught it in Enshi, and sang with artists such as Zhang, making the dulcimer spread in Enshi. According to legend, in the 16th year of Qing Qianlong (175 1), Emperor Gaozong made a southern tour and held a piano concert in Yangzhou. He took a fancy to the elegance and nobility of the dulcimer and brought it back to the court. Five years of Tongzhi (1866), Sichuan alternate sentenced Qin Yunlong (a native of Dingzhai, Xianfeng) to Beijing, taking the singer Kang as his concubine, and Kang took the dulcimer to Sichuan. After ten years of Tongzhi (187 1), Liu, the wife of Qin Yunlong, returned to her hometown and brought her dulcimer back to Xianfeng. So dulcimer spread from Ding Zhai.
