At first, the gugin had only five strings, representing the five elements of metal, wood, water, fire and earth.

第一次，爸爸无法举起一根重木时，他只是开了个玩笑；但那天晚些时候，我看到他独自在外，用力的想举起木头。

The first time he couldn't lift a heavy log, he joked about it; but later that same day I saw him outside alone, straining to lift it.
