Features: This book is divided into two main parts.
1. Introduction to Playing Techniques: The description of each playing technique is detailed and accompanied by illustrations to enhance learners' visual perception, helping to avoid obvious errors in technique.
2. Technique Training: This includes practice pieces. There are nearly 100 original and adapted practice pieces. The arrangement of the pieces is based on the techniques encountered in actual Guzheng performance, divided into four sections: plucking, tremolo, left-hand pressing, and comprehensive techniques.
The plucking section, in addition to classifying introductory techniques as a major category, arranges other techniques in order of increasing difficulty based on specific fingerings. The tremolo and left-hand pressing sections are arranged according to the characteristics of the techniques and the potential musical forms that may arise during performance, progressing from easy to difficult and from simple to complex. At the end of each practice piece, there are performance and practice tips. Learners can refer to the table of contents to find the specific fingerings and corresponding practice pieces based on their own existing issues.
