Bo Ya (Chinese: 伯牙; pinyin: Bó Yá) was a Chinese qin player from the state of Chu (楚),[1] which is roughly equivalent to modern-day Jingzhou, Hubei. He lived during the Spring and Autumn period or Warring States period. His complete name is often incorrectly given as Yu Boya (俞伯牙) in Stories to Caution the World (警世通言), so he is sometimes referred to with the name of Yu Boya in modern literature. However, Bo Ya is the correct name, which is clarified in Lüshi Chunqiu (吕氏春秋).[2]
