The fingering chart for the key of C is as follows

1. When holding the erhu, the palm of the left hand is close to the strings, the fingers "lie" down on the strings, and the thumb bends down to hook the strings.

2. Finger joints are excessively curved, and the tips of the fingers (or even the fingernails) are used to touch the strings.

3. Finger joints are bent backwards, especially the first joints of the middle finger, ring finger, and little finger.
