In the West, the lyre is generally used as the symbol of music.

Lyra (Italian) is a common U-shaped pattern symbolizing music art in music books, concert programs, musical instruments, and concert stages, called "music emblem".

It originates from the ancient Greek folk instrument - Baoqin (Greek pronunciation of Lyre: La Aier; Italian pronunciation: Lire).

The shape of the instrument is a U-shaped frame, with a beam at the top, a number of strings hanging in the middle (as few as three or five, as many as more than ten, usually eight), and a string at the bottom. *ring box. Baoqin is one of the oldest musical instruments in Europe and is known as "guqin".

Because people from all over the world love and cherish this ancient and representative musical instrument, they use it as a musical emblem to symbolize the art of music. In order to make the pattern of the music emblem more beautiful and symmetrical, people have modified the shape of the original instrument to make it more gorgeous and solemn. Our country's 1955-style military ranks once used Western-style music emblems and five-line notation as the shoulder badges of literary and art soldiers.
