Features: Today, the performance techniques of the Yangqin have entered a new stage of being versatile and developing in all directions. Basic training content has become increasingly rich, and its requirements are also more refined. Therefore, the approach of using pieces as a means of training has become inadequate to meet the current needs of performance. Solid fundamental skills must be acquired through targeted and continuous practice. This book focuses on the essential techniques of the Yangqin, including finger techniques (such as plucking and rolling), as well as the harmonization and polyphonic two-part texture techniques, as daily practice content. Textual prompts are provided to highlight key practice points, aiming to suit learners of different levels. Specific requirements for the exercises are also provided in text form for reference. Performance techniques are merely a means of musical expression. In technical training, if one pursues speed and intensity at the expense of the beauty of music or the proper application of techniques, it is impossible to achieve the true purpose of expressing music.
