In the early Qing Dynasty, the pipa was divided into two schools: the south and the north. The Southern School, namely the Zhejiang School, is represented by Chen Mufu and uses the next round. The music he is good at includes "Hai Qing", "Under Armour", "Moon High", "Pu'an Mantra", "General's Order", "Navy Exercise", "Chen Sui", "Wulin Yi Yun" and so on. The northern faction, the Zhili faction, is represented by Wang Junxi and uses the upper chakra. The music that he is good at includes "House of Flying Daggers", "Xiao Drum in the Sunset", "Little Pu'an Mantra", "Yan Music Zheng Sheng", etc. Wuxi Hua Qiuping and Hua Zitong learned from the two schools of the North and South, and edited "North and South". The three volumes of the "Secret Edition of the Second School of Pipa Mana" use Gongchi mana and have a relatively complete record of fingering. It is the earliest pipa mana published in my country. The school taught by Fahrenheit was then called the Wuxi School.

Introduction to Pipa School - Wuxi School

The "Pipa Pupa", the secret version of the two schools of the North and the South, was published three times before and after, which had a great influence on later scholars and provided valuable information for the study of the ancient pipa. Although there are not many direct descendants of the Wuxi School. At present, there are very few people who play according to the original score of "Fahrenheit Score", but other factions have more or less adopted some of the music in "Fahrenheit Score" to organize the popular performance words. Therefore, the Wuxi School played a linking role in the middle of the Qing Dynasty and made due contributions to the development of the pipa.

Involving musical instruments

Pipa (pinyin: pí pa), the first plucked instrument, is a traditional plucked instrument in East Asia, a plucked stringed musical instrument. Made of wood or bamboo, the speaker is half-pear-shaped and has four strings on the top. It was originally made of silk thread, but now it is mostly made of steel wire, steel rope and nylon.
