Further, considering that the common tuning of zither is generally 7 different tuning, each string lifting assembly has a plurality of first channels 6 and a plurality of adjusting columns 7, each first channel 6 has one adjusting column 7 therein, and each adjusting column 7 has different heights, so as to lift the string 5 at different heights, thereby realizing that in different tuning, the tone of the string 5 is adjusted to the due pitch of the string 5 in each tuning, so that the relation between the strings 5 lifted after tuning follows the string sequence of the new tuning.
Further, the upper end of each adjusting column 7 is connected with the top of the first channel 6 where the adjusting column 7 is located through a first spring 8, and each first spring 8 provides downward thrust for the adjusting column 7 connected with the first spring.
Further, each of the first locking mechanisms includes: the second channel 9, the connecting rod 10, the third limiting part 11, the release button 14 and the second spring 15, wherein the second channel 9 is arranged inside the bridge block 3 and is communicated with the first channel 6, and the side wall of the bridge block 3 is provided with a second channel 9 opening; the connecting rod 10 is positioned in the second channel 9, the middle part of the connecting rod 10 is connected with a first limit part 10-1, and the bottom end of the connecting rod 10 is provided with a second limit part 10-2; the third limiting part 11 is connected to the top end of the adjusting column 7, when the third limiting part 11 is positioned above the first limiting part 10-1, the first limiting part 10-1 can lock the adjusting column 7 in the first channel 6, and when the third limiting part 11 is positioned below the second limiting part 10-2, the second limiting part 10-2 can lock the adjusting column 7 out of the first channel 6; the release button 14 is arranged at the opening of the second channel 9, the release button 14 is marked with a modulation number which can be realized by the adjusting column 7 corresponding to the first locking mechanism, and the release button 14 is connected with the top end of the connecting rod 10; the second spring 15 is connected between the connecting rod 10 and the inner wall of the first passage 6 in the direction of movement of the release button 14, and is capable of providing the release button 14 with elastic force toward the outside of the opening of the second passage 9.
When the tuning operation is executed, the invention can press the release button marked with the target tuning number, thereby pushing the connecting rod 10, leading the first limit part 10-1 to leave the lower surface of the third limit part 11, releasing the limit function on the adjusting column 7, leading the adjusting column 7 to pop up the first channel 6 under the action of the first spring 8 and the gravity, then loosening the release button 14 to lead the connecting rod 10 to return under the action of the second spring 15, leading the second limit part 10-2 to be positioned on the upper surface of the third limit part 11, locking the adjusting column 7 outside the first channel 6, thereby jacking up the bridge block 3 and lifting the string 5 at the position to meet the pitch of the string 5 in the target tuning. It should be noted that, because each string lifting component corresponds to a specific string 5, the lengths and thicknesses of the different strings 5 are different, and the height variation distances of the strings 5 are also different in the process of turning from one tuning to another tuning, the heights of the adjusting posts corresponding to the same tuning in the different string lifting components should be different, and because the common zither is a 21-string setting, 21 string lifting components corresponding to the strings 5 can be provided.
Further, because the positions of the string lifting components on the zither panel 2 are different and influence the pitch of strings, and because the string lifting components are pushed up by the adjusting posts 7 to a specific height when performing tuning operation, the positions of the string lifting components on the zither panel 2 need to be determined, the situation of misalignment in tuning is avoided, and therefore the string lifting components are connected to the zither panel 2 through one scale rail 16, the string lifting components are in sliding connection with the scale rail 16 where the string lifting components are located along the length direction of the zither, the correct positions where the string lifting components should be placed are marked on the scale rails 16, and the sliding connection of the string lifting components and the scale rail 16 also provides a means for fine tuning the pitch of the strings 5 for the invention.

Further, a second locking mechanism with bolts can be further arranged between each string lifting component and the scale rail 16 where the string lifting component is located, so that the condition of code running is avoided.
The application method of the invention comprises the following steps:
when the twenty-first string zither lifting and tuning device is used, a string lifting component is firstly placed on the scale rail 16 below the corresponding strings 5 and positioned at the marked position on the scale rail 16, meanwhile, the strings 5 are lapped on the lapping parts 4 on the corresponding bridge blocks 3, the release buttons marked with target tuning numbers are pressed down, so that the connecting rod 10 is pushed, the first limiting part 10-1 is separated from the lower surface of the third limiting part 11, the limiting action on the adjusting column 7 is released, the adjusting column 7 is ejected out of the first channel 6 under the action of the first spring 8 and gravity, then the release buttons 14 are released, so that the connecting rod 10 is reset under the action of the second spring 15, the second limiting part 10-2 is positioned on the upper surface of the third limiting part 11, the adjusting column 7 is locked outside the first channel 6, the bridge blocks 3 are jacked up, the strings 5 are lifted up, the pitch of the strings 5 in the target tuning is matched, and then the remaining string lifting component is operated in the same mode, so that tuning operation of the string can be completed.
If the tuning is to be changed, the release button 14 marked with the tuning at the moment is pressed, the elastic force of the first spring 8 is overcome, the piano code block 3 is pressed down, the adjusting column 7 which is popped up before can be stored back into the first channel 6 by loosening the release button 14, and then the release button 14 corresponding to the target tuning which needs to be changed is pressed down, so that a new tuning operation is realized.
To fine tune the pitch of each string 5, the fine tuning operation is completed by simply sliding the string lifting assembly below the target string 5 on the scale rail 16 where it is located and locking it by the second first locking mechanism.
The foregoing disclosure is merely illustrative of some embodiments of the invention, but the embodiments are not limited thereto and variations within the scope of the invention will be apparent to those skilled in the art.
