Traditional zheng music is

There is a certain distance between traditional zheng music and our era, and there are not many people who can really understand the charm and other aspects of it. Most of the ordinary guzheng teachers are light on the teaching of traditional zheng music, they only teach a few pieces that people can play, and they do not give in-depth lectures. This has also led to the fact that many students do not have a deep and thorough understanding of traditional zheng music.
