What is the difference between using virsh and qemu to create virtual machines?

I think there are two ways of creating a virtual machine.

1.Use virsh command(or GUI,virt-manager) to create a virtual machine.

2.Use qemu command (like qemu-system-x86_64)to create a virtual machine.

What is the difference between the two ways?

Virsh is the command that interact with the libvirtd in order to manage "any" hypervisor. qemu is a Quick Emulator. This is actually the application that will provide the hardware abstraction layer for the guest VMs
