The ''tí zhēng'' is a Chinese zither, a stringed musical instrument related to the ''[[guzheng]]'', ''[[qin]]'', and Japanese ''[[koto]]''. Unlike most zithers which are plucked with the fingers, the ''tizheng'' is played with a long rod.

Though used in Chinese music as early as the [[Tang Dynasty]], the ''tizheng'' had fallen out of standard use, and became quite rare by the [[Qing Dynasty]]. Still, it was among the instruments played by [[Ryukyuan embassies to Edo]] during the Qing period.
