What are the techniques and expressions of the yangqin?

The basic bamboo method of the yangqin is to alternate between the two hands. There are two traditional bamboo techniques, the "left bamboo technique" and the "right bamboo technique". In the 1950s, Mr. Wang Yifu summarized the eight methods of the Yangqin, namely, playing, wheeling, trembling, sliding, pointing, plucking, kneading, and hooking.

The colorful playing techniques and expressions can be roughly divided into seven categories: monophonic techniques, diatonic techniques, wheel tones, wheel playing, decomposition of chords, two-voice configurations and color techniques. Among them, monophonic technique and wheel tone are the basic core techniques of the yangqin.

Various color techniques: counterpicking, plucking, chanting, vibrato, staccato, overtones, and slide plucking.

The drum tone, wooden tone, picking tone, talent tone, and striking plate simulate the sound of percussion. Fingerboard sliding sound both to obtain the rhythm of the piano. Accurate, refined, flexible and skillful use of these techniques of the yangqin in music can enhance the artistic impact of the performance.
