Cultural background display of guzheng performance techniques

Let's take a look at the playing techniques of guzheng.

1, traditional technology

The traditional technique of right hand mainly refers to the use of three fingers: big, middle and food. No matter how to grip, split, hook, pick, wipe, pick, pinch, turn and shake, its core principle is: the technique law with the big finger as the axis and the hook technique within five tones and eight degrees as the characteristic.

Whether it's an enlightenment beginner or a typical school of Zheng music, the position of playing strings is octave with the big finger and the middle finger-the melody is played mainly with the big finger, and the index finger moves on the four Zheng strings within the octave of the big finger and the middle finger, which is the main feature of the traditional right-handed technique.

Traditional left-handed techniques are characterized by singing, rubbing, sliding and pressing, with rhyme as the main feature. Various changes in techniques are the main means of expression of local schools. First of all, we should master the basic concepts of yin, kneading, sliding and pressing, and then we can master the special expressions with local style and characteristics.

2. Modern technology

With the development of the times, the techniques of Zheng widely draw lessons from and absorb the techniques of other musical instruments to enrich their own means of expression. From playing with both hands to expressing special sounds, from arranging pentatonic and heptatonic scales to arranging special scales, Zheng's playing ability has been greatly enriched.

The fingering of fingering sequence is arranged according to the law of melody, which is suitable for special music sequence and rapidly changing melody. "Finger-sequential plucking" makes the fingers plucking strings not limited to the big, middle and index fingers of the right hand, but ten fingers of both hands, emphasizing finger function and finger independence, and plucking strings is the main plucking method. This further developed Zheng's techniques. The "finger-shaking method" with the point as the line is one of the important means of expression of modern music, which makes the rotation coherent and smooth, strengthens the intensity, broadens the scope of expression and gives modern music new meaning of expression.
