The konghou is a traditional Chinese plucked string instrument whose name historically referred to three different instruments: a zither and two types of harps—shu konghou (vertical angular harp) and feng shou konghou (arched harp), both now extinct.In the Tang dynasty, the term was used broadly to describe various foreign string instruments performed at the Chinese court, rather than a single, clearly defined instrument.Today, konghou most commonly refers to the modern concert harp, a 20th‑century invention inspired by these earlier traditions.

Style and culture of the group of more or less closely related Bantu-speaking peoples occupying the adjoining areas of Zaïre, Angola (including the enclave of Cabinda) and the Republic of the Congo. The Kongo area stretches from both sides of the mouth of the Zaïre River on the Atlantic coast, north to Pool Malebo (formerly Stanleypool) and south into Angola. The main peoples of the group include the Kakongo, Vili, Yombe, Nkanu, Woyo and Boma. Especially famous for their power figures (often referred to as ‘fetishes’), the Kongo peoples have produced a wide range of arts, including stone and ceramic funerary sculptures, masks, regalia in wood, metal and ivory, and figurative pot-lids. Examples of Kongo art are held by most museums with African collections.
