Hooking is a technique in which the middle finger is plucked to the inside of the palm to complete the skill "hook", and then the thumb is plucked to the inside of the palm to complete the skill "tuck".

The basic steps of "hooking" the piles and clips are:

1. Keep the "bridge" posture when playing. The middle finger and thumb are respectively supported on the strings to be plucked, and the ring finger is tied on the adjacent strings below the middle finger or on the nearby Yueshan, ready to play.

2. The middle finger exerts force, moves into the palm, and plucks the strings of the zither. After the hook is completed, the middle finger should be on the adjacent string below, and the middle finger and ring finger are on the same string.

3. After the middle finger movement is completely completed, the thumb exerts force, moves into the palm, plucks the strings of the zither, and completes the playing of the support. The thumb should then rest on the adjacent string above. This completes a set of Go Todd playing.

4. After the thumb is played, move the ring finger down and tie a stake on the adjacent zheng string below the middle finger or on the nearby Yueshan Mountain. At the same time, the thumb moves down to the corresponding upper octave of the string where the middle finger is located, ready for the next play. It should be noted that the ring finger is generally moved after the hook is completed, and it should not be moved down hastily for a long time after the hook is completed. This is because the meaning of the stake is to provide a stable fulcrum. If it is moved too early, Affects how the thumb plays.

The basic steps of "hooking" the cantilever lift are:

1. The player "bridges" the string above the target string, and the middle finger and thumb are respectively placed on the string to be played. Prepare for playing. Pay attention to keeping the distance between the player and the string.

2. The middle finger exerts force, moves toward the palm, plucks the strings of the zheng, and completes the play. After that, the middle finger is out of contact with the string.

3. After the middle finger movement is completed, the thumb exerts force, wants to move in the palm, plucks the strings of the zither, and completes the playing of the support. After that, the thumb should also be out of contact with the strings. This completes a set of toro playing.

4. Adjust the arm or wrist appropriately to prepare for the next play.
