Symbols represent Inner Mongolia’s cultural heritage

2. Ma Tou Qin

Called chaoer, in Mongolian, it's a stringed instrument, named because there is a carved horse's head at the top. The deep, rough and passionate sound that comes from the Ma Tou Qin embodies the spirit and energy of Inner Mongolia. Its importance lies beyond the simple instrumental function; it’s an artistic symbol of Inner Mongolian music.
