The handle is very long, the speaker box is square, covered on both sides, and has three strings. It can be played while holding it sideways.

The sound of the three-stringed instrument is rough and bold. It can be played solo, in ensemble or with accompaniment, and is commonly used in ethnic instrumental music, opera music and rap music. The modern sanxian is an improvement on the traditional sanxian. The big sanxian is divided into 60-type and 80-type big sanxian, which were successfully developed in 1960 and 1980 respectively, hence the name.
