morin khuur, matouqin: a chordophone of Mongolian origin whose name roughly translates as "horse-head fiddle" in English. It is played with a bow and produces a sound which is poetically described as expansive and unrestrained, like a wild horse neighing, or like a breeze in the grasslands. It is the most important musical instrument of the Mongolian people, and is considered a symbol of the Mongolian nation. [source: Wikipedia] Level: 4 This term is used in both Cantonese and Mandarin/Standard written Chinese. |
