Matouqin is a symbol of national music culture in the former gollus Mongolian Autonomous County.

Matouqin is named after the horse head carved on its head. It is one of the Mongolian stringed instruments, also known as "Chaoer" in Mongolian. In the early days, the traditional horse head Qin was made with simple technology. Later, after the transformation of the horse head Qin master Selassie, the production and processing skills were continuously improved and developed.

At present, the local production of Matouqin is exported to Inner Mongolia, Xinjiang, Hong Kong and other regions of China, and Mongolia, Japan and other countries, deeply loved by consumers.
