The London Youlan Qin Society (simplified Chinese: 伦敦幽兰琴社; traditional Chinese: 倫敦幽蘭琴社; sometimes abbreviated to LYQS) is a London based qin society serving guqin players in the UK. Of the three major qin societies of the West (the other two being the North American Guqin Association and the New York Qin Society), this society is the most informal and the most active in terms of regular events and yajis.
The Society began to adopt a constitution in 2011 and has begun to evolve into a more formal learned society.
