Introduction to guzheng fingering

Guzheng is one of the national musical instruments in China. It is often used to play traditional and classical music in China. The following is the introduction of guzheng fingering:

1. Holding the Zheng in the left hand: When holding the Zheng, the palm of the left hand is up, the four fingers naturally bend, and the thumb naturally bends, and the Zheng rod is clamped between the fingers.

2. Pressing strings with the right hand: Guzheng has 2/kloc-0 strings, which are pressed with the index finger, middle finger and ring finger of the right hand respectively. When you press the string, you should use the fleshy part of your fingertips with moderate strength.

3. Right-handed string sweeping: String sweeping is one of the important skills in guzheng performance, which can strengthen the melody and rhythm. Keep your wrist flexible when sweeping the strings, so that the vibration of the strings has a sense of rhythm.

4. Left-handed keys: press the corresponding keys on the Zheng surface with your left hand to adjust the pitch. Control your attention and speed when pressing keys.

5. Left hand glitter: glitter is a playing skill of the left hand, which can realize the continuous change of pitch. When sliding, you need to use your left index finger or middle finger to slide to the target sound.

The above is the basic fingering of guzheng, which requires constant practice and performance to master it skillfully. For beginners, you can practice simple music tracks and basic skills first, and gradually improve your performance level.
