guzheng

Netizen: How old is it appropriate for my child to start learning guzheng?

Wang Zhongshan: Generally speaking, our children who are learning guzheng have been learning it since they were five years old. Personally, I think that from the age of five, judging from the child's development, finger condition and his whole memory, he has already possessed the basic conditions for learning music. Guzheng is a multi-spin musical instrument with soft and deep pronunciation. So I think it is more appropriate to start learning guzheng at the age of 5.

Netizen: Can anyone learn guzheng? Are there any requirements for fingers?

Wang Zhongshan: To learn guzheng, from the perspective of teaching guzheng, I will shout whatever I sell. Generally speaking, anyone who studies guzheng should be able to learn it. Why? Because the instrument itself doesn't need much strength. Secondly, its structure is relatively simple and uncomplicated, and its operation is relatively simple, so it is suitable for ordinary people to operate in all aspects. You should be able to operate the guzheng easily in the process of learning it, regardless of age.

If the price of buying guzheng is below 700 yuan, it is only for people who entertain themselves (generally, the use period of guzheng in 500 yuan is not more than 5 years), and people who want to learn guzheng music for a long time should not buy it;

1000 to 2,000 yuan to buy a guzheng is normal;

Guzheng boutique is generally at a price of more than 2000 to 4000.

Geographically speaking, the south should buy guzheng manufacturers in the south and the north should buy guzheng manufacturers in the north, which will have better effect, because the guzheng produced by guzheng manufacturers in the south is easy to crack in the north; Guzheng produced by northern guzheng manufacturers is easy to get wet in the south, and its sound is stuffy. Although there are many cards posted now, it is better to pay attention to the geographical location. Or do some related measures at home after purchase. It's too humid in the south. Do some moistureproof treatment.

You can buy bone carvings, digging and welding, cloisonne and so on. About 2500, belonging to a better guzheng. Actually, I don't think brand is important. Some things, like the Dunhuang brand in Shanghai, are also OEM in other places. Don't be too superstitious about brands. The key is to look at the timbre of the guzheng. You can choose to buy 1500 embossed guzheng. Compared with wheat flowers, lettering and pyrography, I think the relief is not bad, and the lettering is ok. As long as the guzheng is well maintained, there will be no major problems. I used a lettering Zheng when I was a beginner, and I still have it. Its timbre is very good. If economic conditions permit, you can buy cheap ones first and learn to buy a good one at a time. You can also buy it at one time, just buy a cloisonne, and it will not be a problem for a lifetime. Also, you'd better find someone who can play the new piano for a while.

The technique of innocence is very important for pipa, especially the finger rotation, which must be the foundation of learning when I was a child. I have received many adult students. Although their understanding is better than that of children, their fingering skills are much worse than that of children. There are also instruments from primary schools, and their intonation is particularly good.

As for who is suitable to learn pipa, my personal experience is that finger condition is very important. Pipa, a musical instrument, is not strict with finger conditions before the level of 1-7, but after the level of 7, the finger conditions are obviously dominant, such as climbing and shifting. The important content of good finger condition is that the little finger of the left hand should be long, and it is best to cross the line of the second joint of the ring finger. I don't agree with the statement that "the most suitable person to play the pipa is of course the person with long fingers" on the 5th floor. People with long fingers are not suitable for playing pipa, because their jumping ability and flexibility are much worse. The landlord went to see the most famous pipa master today, and his fingers are not slender. The key is that the left little finger crosses the line. In addition, people with hard hands press the line steadily with their left hands and bounce relatively well with their right hands.

Pipa has undergone some minor changes since it was basically finalized in the Tang Dynasty, and its timbre, volume and range have also changed. The timbre of pipa is clear and bright. Bai Juyi, a poet in the Tang Dynasty in China, famously said, "Like a plate of jade beads, the size of beads is like rain", which vividly illustrates the sound quality characteristics of pipa. Its playing skills are quite complicated, and different playing skills can imitate many sound effects (such as gurgling water and even people shouting on the battlefield, etc.). ), very realistic.

Usually a solo instrument. Pipa is also an extremely important melody instrument and accompaniment instrument in Chinese national bands. In addition, in many China local folk arts represented by Suzhou Pingtan, pipa is also the main accompaniment instrument.

At present, the number of strings of Zheng is between 19-26, and there are many specifications.

It belongs to the plucked instrument family, with a long history and evolution, and its pronunciation is crisp and pleasant, as smooth as a mountain spring. Because it is a pentatonic scale, it has national characteristics in China.

Whether it is used for solo, ensemble, ensemble or accompaniment (accompaniment), it is a very distinctive instrument. It is also often used by Chinese national bands to act as voices. In addition, Zheng is also widely used in many local folk art forms in China, such as Shandong and Chaoshan.

Personal experience:

Pipa's timbre is crisp, and its voice is relatively high. In playing skills, more rotation techniques are used, and usually the notes feel dense in the music. The timbre of guzheng is relatively deep and subtle, with deep bass and crisp treble, showing the slow rhythm of music, and the dense notes are as smooth as the ripples of mountain springs and lakes.
