Ruan Xian, Seven Sages of the Bamboo Grove, had a Xianbei slave who gave birth to his son, Ruan Fu.

Qin pipa later became the instrument known today as the ruan which was named after Ruan Xian, one of the Seven Sages of the Bamboo Grove.

It was believed that it was the instrument which the Eastern Jin ( 東晉 ) musician Ruan Xian ( 阮咸 ) loved to play.

Ruan Xian was a scholar in the Three Kingdoms Eastern Jin ( 三國東晉 ) Dynasty period ( 3rd century ).

Since Ruan Xian was an expert and famous in playing an instrument that looked like the Qin pipa, the instrument was named after him when the copper Qin pipa was found in a tomb during the Tang Dynasty.

The scholars, Ruan Ji, Ji Kang, Ruan Xian, Shan Tao, Xiang Xiu, Wang Rong and Liu Ling, held progressive political views but were unable to realize their ambitions.

Liu Ling, Ruan Ji, Ruan Xian, Xiang Xiu, Wang Rong and Shan Tao were the other six sages who made up the group, besides Xi Kang, who was especially close to Ruan Ji ; their relationship was described as " stronger than metal and fragrant as orchids ".
