The difference between guzheng and modern guzheng in fingering

Yes, the playing skills are much worse than now. The technique of Zheng began to develop rapidly after the 1950s, drawing on the skills of many other musical instruments, so that the left hand could play a greater role in playing, because in ancient times, the left hand was only used to press the strings, and it could only play a single note at most, and it didn't wear nails.

These reforms caused controversy at that time, and some people thought that ancient laws could not be changed. In fact, this reform is good, it greatly enhances the expressive force of the guzheng, and many modern guzheng songs are also very nice. However, traditional good things can't be lost. Guzheng pays attention to "supplementing sounds with rhyme", which shows that the ancients attached importance to the word "rhyme", but now people's playing skills are good, and this kind of "rhyme" is really getting less and less. The feeling of music is from the heart, not just the practice of skills. Without a deep understanding of culture, it is impossible to play a bad instrument.

Ps: I hope I can study China ancient music hard in the future. The current knowledge reserve is far from enough. ...
