Summary

Zither and lute sounding as one.

Origin & Background

Two different instruments sounding as one—a bond that works not by sameness but by timing.

Source: Shijing, "Chang Di" ("like the playing of qin and se together"), with "Guan Ju" and "Nü Yue Ji Ming" alongside. Qin and se are two different instruments—harmony by difference, not sameness.
