The pipa (Chinese lute) is one of the most frequently depicted instruments in Dunhuang murals, with 689 different representations. The pipa's performance evolved over time, from the powerful plucking style of the Tang dynasty to the more delicate finger plucking that expressed deep emotion. This evolution inspired the toy design, combining cultural heritage with a modern, engaging format to introduce the rich history and expressive power of the pipa to younger audiences.
