1. A vibration damping structure for a compressor, the compressor being configured to compress gas, the vibration damping structure, comprising:
a compressor assembly including a frame, a cylinder disposed in the frame and defining a bore, and a piston inserted into the bore of the cylinder and configured to linearly reciprocate to compress the gas;
a string configured to connect the compressor assembly to a shell of the compressor;
an assembly string connector disposed on the compressor assembly and connected to the string; and
a shell string connector disposed on the shell and connected to the string, wherein the assembly string connector comprises a through-hole, wherein the string passes through the through-hole, wherein the string is configured not to be coupled to the assembly string connector in a longitudinal direction of the string, and wherein a tensile force is configured to be generated at the string due to self-weight of the compressor assembly and the compressor assembly is suspended from the shell by the string.
