Ji Kang, one of the Seven Sages in the Bamboo Forest, wrote a poem about playing the qin: "Seeing Guihong off and waving the five strings."

Li Bai, a great poet in the Tang Dynasty, wrote it even better, "Shu monk holds Lvqi and descends to Emei Peak in the west. When you wave your hand for me, it's like listening to Wanhe pine." With a wave of his hand, he not only completed a chic and clear aesthetic action. It can also be used to express the beauty of guqin fingering, which lies in this.

The sound of the Guqin is simple and vast, strong and clear, and its sound has three overtones: overtone, pressing tone, and scattered tone. When playing with the right hand, tap the different emblems of the string with the left hand to show "ling."

The clear sound of "ling" is like the sound of heaven, which is used to symbolize the sky. When playing the scattered sound, only use the right hand to play the empty string, which presents "beng.

The sound of 飞" is thick and deep to symbolize the ground. When pressing the sound, while the right hand is whisking the string, the left hand presses the string and groans and slides. The sound is rich and varied, just like speaking to symbolize.

There are many changes in the fingering of the guqin. Just one "singing" method has many kinds of long, steady, flying, fine, wandering, finger-dropping, etc. Plus their respective techniques are vigorous, gentle, leisurely, and simple. Its fingering is more mysterious.

According to modern statistics, there are more than 1,070 kinds of musical instruments in the world with named and unnamed guqin fingerings. The ancients liked to use images to compare fingerings. Just listening to their names and seeing their graphics is an image.
