Guqin playing method

When playing, put the piano on the table, pluck the strings with your right hand, press the strings with your left hand and pick up the sound. There are many guqin techniques, including 1000 in ancient times, but only dozens of them are commonly used today, such as rubbing, plucking, hooking, picking, picking, breaking, grasping (that is, "eight methods of right hand"), turning, plucking, pinching, locking, rolling, brushing, double playing and so on.

Up, down, into the complex, back complex, singing, floating, kneeling, pulling up, picking up, picking up, touching, pulling, full support, half support, ugly, indirect hook, finger turning, ringing the bell, etc.

Guqin presses the strings with the left hand and plays the strings with the right hand. Different fingers of the left hand and different parts of the fingers will cause different timbre. Except for the occasional middle finger and forefinger, the most commonly used left-hand strings are the name finger and the big finger; There are also two kinds of pressing parts of strings: meat pressure and nail pressure.

Generally speaking, the name refers to the sound of the strings, which is warm and steady, while the big finger is crisp and bright; The meat is warm and firm, and the meat is crisp and bright.

As far as plucking the strings with the right hand is concerned, its strength varies widely. Because the effective chords of guqin are long and wide, and the same string-playing technique can play a very soft and erratic sound, but also a very heavy and strong sound, all depending on the strength of the player. However, musical instruments with shorter effective chord length, such as pipa and Ruan, have much smaller changes.

In fact, the four fingers of the guqin strings themselves are also different in strength. Generally speaking, the grip of the big finger and the hook of the middle finger are particularly strong, while the index finger and the name finger are relatively weak. Among the four fingers, the effect of using meat bullets is different from that of using armored bullets.

The sound line produced by the meat bomb is thicker, while the armored bomb is thinner; If the forces are equal, then the thick volume is large and the unit pressure is small, so the one with large force wins; The thinner one is smaller, more stressful, and wins with strength. When playing guqin, you can choose the appropriate string playing techniques according to the needs of sound intensity, and there is considerable room for choice.

The basic posture of playing guqin:

1, piano placement

In ancient times, pianists put their heads, right tails and left hands on their knees to play. After the Song Dynasty, the piano table has been widely used. Now generally speaking, the piano stand is also used to play the piano. When the piano is placed on the piano table, it should be placed near the player with the head on the right and the tail on the left.

Qin Zi should be outside the table. The bottom plate of the head and neck of the piano and the feet of two geese are in contact with the desktop. Where the piano touches the table, there should be a piano pad (piano recommended). If it is a big piano table with a slot on the right, you should put the piano in the slot.

2. Playing posture

The posture of playing the piano is exquisite. Generally speaking, when playing the piano, the player's body should be about half a foot away from the piano, and the farthest is generally not more than one foot. His chest should be facing the five emblems, or between the four emblems and the five emblems.

When playing, the player should stand upright and not bend or lean. Keep your shoulders flat and don't shrug. When a man plays the piano, his knees are usually separated and his feet are naturally flat on the ground. When a lady plays the piano, her knees and feet can be naturally close together.
