Features: This Zeng (Guzheng Score Collection) includes three zeng pieces composed by the author. This is not an attempt by the author to mix and sell personal "private goods" by taking advantage of the opportunity to organize and print this Zeng. Rather, it is due to the popularity of these works, which have been included by multiple examination institutions as advanced repertoire for guzheng exams, and some have even been designated as final round pieces for competitions. In the past, many guzheng score collections often placed the "explanation of fingerings" at the end of the collection. When readers encountered unclear symbols or notational issues, they had to temporarily flip to the back to check the fingerings, which wasted a lot of time. This Zeng abandons this arrangement, placing the "explanation of fingerings" at the beginning of the collection. Readers can first familiarize themselves with the notational system and finger symbols of this Zeng before engaging with the subsequent zeng pieces, saving time and achieving twice the result with half the effort. To help readers understand the issues in guzheng notation and finger symbols, the author has attached the article "My Views on Guzheng Notation and Finger Symbols" at the beginning of this Zeng, clarifying the author's academic perspectives on guzheng notation and finger symbols.
