Chinese musician playing the yueqin (right), 1874. The word yueqin is made of two characters, yuè (月 "moon") and qín (琴 "stringed instrument, zither"). Its name in Korean (wolgeum), Japanese (gekkin) and Vietnamese (nguyệt cầm) mean the same thing, and are Sinoxenic words, meaning they were borrowed from Chinese, but pronounced in the local way.

Shi Yue (died 384) was a military general of Former Qin during the Sixteen Kingdoms period. Initially starting out as an envoy to Former Yan , he helped the Qin army in capturing Xiangyang and in quelling the rebellion of Fu Jian's cousin, Fu Luo .
The Qin Empire (秦帝国) sought to unite and control all of China by defeating the other independent kingdoms. (Except for Gongshu Chou, the following characters in this section have prototypes in the history of Qin; Gongshu's name probably derives from that of Gongshu Ban who was a contemporary of Mozi.)
Following that coup, the Qin army marched into Yiqu territory at the queen dowager's orders; the Qin annihilated Yiqu and thus came to possess the Ordos region. [6] Yiqu's fall rendered Qin a safe northern border. Since there was no more hostile forces in the north of Qin, Yiqu's fall ensured Qin's successful expansion eastward. [7]
