阮 [ruǎn] Meaning: 1. 〔阮咸〕A type of stringed musical instrument, resembling the yueqin with a long and straight neck. It has four strings, although there are versions with three strings as well. It is said to be named after Ruan Xian, a person from the Jin dynasty who was skilled in playing this instrument. Abbreviated as "ruan." (English: A type of string instrument, related to the yueqin, traditionally played in ancient China.) 2. 〔大小阮〕Refers to Ruan Ji from the Jin dynasty and his nephew Ruan Xian, both famous figures known as the "Seven Sages of Bamboo Grove," often collectively referred to as "Big and Small Ruan." The term "Small Ruan" is later used as a nickname for the nephew, such as "Xian Ruan." (English: Big and Small Ruan refers to the notable Ruan Ji and his nephew Ruan Xian.) 3. A surname.

There are also three-string versions today. (English: A type of ancient string instrument, a variant of the pipa.) 4. A nickname for a nephew.
