In case you're interested. The qin 琴 (the original name) which is now called a guqin (古琴). It's an ancient form of a lute. A guqin's shape is that of a relatively shallow, narrow, and roughly rectangular wooden box approximately three feet long, which tapers from end to end with a slightly convex upper surface. The qin originally had five strings, which represent gong, shang, jiao, hui, and yu in the ancient Chinese music system. Over time, the version with seven strings made of twisted silk stretched across the top, and thirteen round markers inlaid into the instrument’s top surface became the standard version. Today, people use nylon strings as the silk ones are no longer being produced. The qin itself is rich in symbolic meaning, and so is its music. For example, the curved top of the qin is said to represent heaven; the instrument’s flat bottom represents the earth. Two holes in the bottom panel of the qin allow the sound to project to some extent; these are referred to as the “phoenix” and “dragon” pools. Like the heavens and the earth, the phoenix and dragon are opposing but complementary ideas. The ubiquitous influence of the Confucian/Daoist concepts of yin (positive, masculine, bright) and yang (negative, feminine, dark), whose balance is crucial in Chinese cosmology, is evident in these pairings. These ideas and others like them are echoed in the terminology used to describe the way sounds are produced on the qin. Qin music is subtle, utilizing three basic types of sounds with many nuances and much symbolic value. One type of sound is made by plucking a string with a finger of the right hand with no interference from the left hand. These are known as sanyin (open) sounds, which are said to represent the earth. Another type of sound is the closed or stopped, sound. The player presses the string against the qin with a finger of the left hand while plucking with the right, producing sounds with higher pitches and a somewhat different timbre than the open sounds. These sounds are called anyin (stopped) sounds, and symbolize people. Sounds made with the left-hand fingers very lightly touching the strings at specific points, known as nodes, and the right-hand plucking, creating high ethereal tones known as harmonics, represent heaven and are called fanyin. Humans live and act between the earth and the heavens, just as the stopped-string sounds are differentiated from the earthy, open sanyin sounds and the ethereal fanyin tones. The five strings of the original version of the qin represent the following. 宮 gong = 君 Jun > ruler, master 商 shang = 臣 Chen > minister, subject 角 jue = 民 Min > ordinary people 徵 zhi = 事 Shi > affairs 羽 yu = 物 Wu > things

Because this is the trope music used in most Wuxia films, whenever the audience hears the opening it signals that a duel is about to start
It's more like swordsman trilogy part 2.
