Features: Regarding the versions of traditional tunes, the ones provided in this tutorial are merely illustrative. Since the versions of traditional tunes for most ethnic instruments are often varied in performances, this is determined by the inherent flexibility of ethnic music. We should appreciate this musical cultural phenomenon and its characteristics. However, candidates should also note: First, the version of the tune chosen by the candidate should indeed be the same tune as the one in the textbook, not a different tune with the same name; Second, the technical and musical expressive difficulty of the version chosen by the candidate should be roughly equivalent to the level of the version provided in the textbook. As long as it is no lower than the level of the version provided in the textbook, candidates need not worry about using the same tune from a different version of this textbook. All the tunes in this textbook (excluding etudes) have been tested and proven through years of national examination practice. This edition has added a certain number of etudes, hoping to promote the improvement of extracurricular teaching standards for the zheng in the future.
