Commonly used symbols of the right hand fingerings and the essentials of the movements:

The thumb of the tooter finger plucks the strings towards the outside of the zither; the thumb of the splitter finger plucks the strings towards the inner side of the zither; the picker finger and forefinger pluck the strings towards the outer side of the zither; the index finger of the wiping finger plucks the strings towards the inner side of the zither; the center finger of the picking finger plucks the strings towards the outside of the zither; the middle finger of the hook finger plucks the strings towards the inside of the zither; the rocking finger plucks the strings continuously and rapidly; the thumb picks and plucks continuously, while the index finger plucks continuously or wipes and plucks continuously.

With the rapid development of guzheng playing technology, the above string playing techniques are no longer confined to the right hand, the left hand is more and more involved in playing, and the symbols used by the right hand are exactly the same when playing.

Commonly used fingering symbols for the left hand and the essentials of movement:

Pressing the strings means to press the strings in a controlled manner in order to get the pitch higher than the pitch of the strings; upward sliding means to press the strings with the right hand after the right hand plays the strings, so as to make the sound upward sliding; downward sliding means to press the sound strings with the left hand, and then press the strings with the right hand, and then press the strings with the left hand so as to make the sound downward; vibrato means to slide upward from the sound of the strings, and then back down. Vibrato is also known as chanting.

The main stages of thumb-rocking learning are divided into:

1, supporting wrist-rocking.

The index finger gently pinch the big finger, the root of the palm of the hand lightly pressed in the front of the mountain under the zheng head as a fulcrum, the wrist as the axis of the drive finger, hand type do not clench too tightly and do not open too much need to keep relaxing naturally, you can pinch the big finger of the index finger to regulate the volume of the volume of the finger shaking, this shaking is suitable for beginners shaking the finger of the students.

2, pile shaking.

With the basic principles of the pressure wrist shake the same, the difference is that it is not the whole wrist as a fulcrum but with the little finger as a support on the bottom of the front beam of the strings to be played, play need to pay attention to lower the wrist, in the initial practice thumb split, need to hit the bottom of the string in order to play a stabilizing effect, the finger slightly more force but do not need to lean on the string, such as when leaning on the strings will affect the flexibility of the fingering. The fingering flexibility will be affected if you lean on the strings while resting on your fingers.

3. Wrist swing.

In the previous two shaking fingers on the basis of the fingering has been further emancipated, hanging wrist shaking does not need any bracket, rely entirely on wrist control and power to complete the shaking fingers, this shaking fingers from the limitations of the pile, can be completed from the front of the mountain to the yards between any place between the tone of the requirements, such as the swimming rocking and so on.
