How to play the flowing part of "Mountain Flowing Water" (Guzheng Music)?

Mainly playing sliding notes. Pay attention to the first two notes of each summary with your index finger, so as to highlight the main idea of this paragraph. You can hum the main theme along with it, and then adjust the intensity of each bar. When it is smooth, it will feel like running water.

There are many kinds of glides in Zheng, mainly including up-glide, down-glide, line-glide, up-spin and down-spin. The breakdown is as follows:

1, sliding up: after plucking the string with your right hand, press the string with your left hand to make the sound slide to a certain height and stop (keep the pitch).

2. Descending: First press the string with your left hand, hold it down after pressing it to a certain degree, then pluck the string with your right hand, and then lift your left hand and slide up to make the string loose back to its original position or a certain pitch.

3. Line Slip: Connect two or more notes with an arc with an arrow like a line mark, indicating that they slide from the first note to the last note in turn. Wired glide does not emphasize a particular tone, but emphasizes the accurate pitch, accurate duration and balanced volume of each tone. The requirements for the slip sound are: smooth without disorder, continuous and clear, and playing each note coherently and accurately in the slip sound.

4. Swing-up glide: After plucking the strings with the right hand, the left hand instantly raises the local tone by two or three degrees (sometimes two degrees), and then turns back to the local tone.

5. Slippery hem: First press the string with your left hand, press the string twice or three times (sometimes twice), then pluck the string with your right hand, and then press it back to the original pitch with your left hand.

Extended data:

"Mountain Flowing Water", a China guqin song, belongs to one of the top ten ancient songs in China. It is said that Boya, a pianist in the pre-Qin period, once played the piano on a barren land, but Zhong Ziqi, a woodcutter, could understand that this was a description of "towering like Mount Tai" and "surging like a river". Boya was shocked: "Well, the child's heart is the same as mine." After Zhong Ziqi's death, Boya lost her bosom friend, broke the piano, and never played it for life, so there was a song of high mountains and flowing water.

"High mountains and flowing water" is a metaphor for bosom friends and music. Later generations are divided into two songs: Mountain and Running Water. There is also A Zheng's song "Mountain Flowing Water" with the same name, which has no inheritance relationship with Guqin music.
