Abing (; 20 August 1893 or 3 November 1898 – 4 December 1950), born Hua Yanjun () was a blind Chinese musician specializing in the erhu and pipa.
==Early life== Abing was born as Hua Yanjun on either 20 August 1893 or 3 November 1898, in the eastern Chinese city of Wuxi, Jiangsu province. His father Hua Qinghe was a Taoist priest and musician. His mother was a widow, and her remarriage to a priest was resented by her family; she remained depressed and died a year after Abing's birth. Abing was raised by extended family until the age of eight, when he went to live with his father at the temple. Abing was the name used by his family. He was given the official name Hua Yanjun at this time and sent to school.
