The Zheng is developed from a small bamboo-made instrument originally used by ancient herdsmen in 475-221 B.C. It was very popular as early as Qin Dynasty (255-206 B.C.).

The Zheng was mainly used for solos and the accompaniment of folk songs in its early days, but was also used in orchestral performances in the Tang Dynasty. Depending on the type of strings it uses, the instrument is capable of producing a variety of tones.
