Greek poetess of the lute

Around the sixth century BC, there was a famous female musician and poet Sappho in Greece. She was not only good at playing the lute, but also good at singing and dancing. When she toured throughout the Balkans, her exquisite piano skills, beautiful singing voice and moving dance were welcomed by people from all over the world. It is said that this instrument spread throughout Europe. In the history of painting, many painters have painted her portraits. Her elegant and beautiful demeanor with her arms in her arms has been passed down to later generations and has remained in people's memory for a long time. After about a thousand years, although the lute as a musical instrument was gradually eliminated by the lute (an instrument similar to the mandolin), people still miss the image of this elegant, well-proportioned and simple instrument. As one of the oldest musical instruments, the lute has become a symbol of beautiful music. As a result, people in many countries regard it as a symbol of music, and it is often hung on the curtain of the concert stage and is still used today.
