Bo Ya

In this Chinese name, the family name is Bo.

Bo Ya (Chinese: 伯牙; pinyin: Bó Yá) was a Chinese qin player and composer from the state of Chu (楚), which is roughly equivalent to modern-day Jingzhou, Hubei. He lived mostly during the Spring and Autumn period and later the succeeding 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).
