Chaozhou Guzheng, Linshu Guzheng Nine Schools

Since the Qin and Han Dynasties, guzheng has gradually spread from the northwest to all parts of the country, and has been integrated with local operas, rap and folk music, forming various schools with strong local styles.

Traditional Zheng music is divided into two factions, North and South, and now it is generally divided into nine factions. As Cao Zheng said, "Nine schools are in China", and the Zheng music and playing methods of each school have their own characteristics.

"Han Jiang Si Zhu" Chaozhou Zheng: Popular in Chaozhou, Guangdong Province, it has a special musical structure and unique rotating style.

Zheng can is different from other musical instruments in his own way. The most important thing is the change of left glide, which is called rhyme complement. Otherwise, it is hard to say the genre and development of Zheng music. In Zheng Chao, the application of this technology can be said to be wonderful. In fact, when playing the guzheng, the combination of several scales and modes is achieved by pressing with the left hand, and the melody is also different from the twelve-average law and folk music in other places.

Chaozhou Zheng is exquisite, subtle and unique with its smooth and gorgeous right-hand and left-hand sliding tones. The main tunes of Chaozhou Zheng are "emphasizing six", "ignoring six", "living five" and "contrast". Among them, the "heavy six" tone music is more euphemistic; The tune of Light Six is fresh and lively; The tune music of "Fire Dance" is touching and sad, with distinctive rhythm. In the folk, playing the "poetry score" of ancient music with plucked instruments such as Zheng is called string poetry music. "Liu Qingniang" is the most popular song in this poem. Although it is not a big suite, it contains four tones: light six, heavy six, lively five and light three and heavy six. The tune is beautiful and has the characteristics of tidal music. It is called "the mother of string poetry" in Chaozhou music, which means the mother of music.

When learning Chaozhou Zheng, "Liu Qingniang" is an essential repertoire; In addition, cold ducks playing in the water, high moon and icing on the cake are also commonly used tracks in Chaozhou Zheng.
