Pick: The right index finger plucks the string outwards, which is called "Bin Yan holding the reed posture", the second finger is flexed correspondingly, the third finger is relaxed and soaring, like a guest from the north geese, and the reed is held to protect the wind.
In the "Picture of Taigu Legacy Gestures" Zhongxing said: the cool breeze is coming, the swan geese are guests; the title of Lunan Township, the general will be Yiren, avoid the pass and go away, and send a sad sound to move people. From the story, it is understood that in the winter months, the geese have felt the movement of yang energy and are ready to fly to the north, so the "Book of Rites Yueling" says "Yanbei Township" in the winter season. To Mengchun, from the south to the north, "the wild geese come". In mid-autumn, the gust of wind rose, and the geese were ready to set off again, returning from north to south. "Book of Rites Yueling" said "the blind wind arrives, and the geese come." In the autumn season, "swan geese come as guests", and the cloud "guests" means swan geese as guests. In the thinking system of the ancients, swan geese "do not live in China", and the migration of geese from north to south follows the changes of yin and yang.
Fingering expression: Picking is carried out on the basis of fingering hooks, first place the middle finger of the right hand on the outer string of the picked string (adjacent or separated, but the separation cannot exceed two strings at most), as the force The fulcrum, the wrist is slightly lower, slightly lower than the back of the hand; then the thumb is close to the left side of the first joint of the index finger, exposing the first joint line; then the big finger retracts the index finger to form a circle, at this time the nail surface of the index finger It should be about one centimeter behind and above the string; finally, the big knuckle joint will exert force to straighten and push the index finger to pick out, and the index finger will also exert force to straighten the first two joints accordingly, on the nail surface about two millimeters away from the fingertip. Strike the string, the direction is 45 degrees diagonally downward. (Note: During the process, the index finger is passive, and the other fingers are naturally relaxed. After hitting the string, the index finger rests on the next string to relax.)
Common mistakes: Clamping the string with your hand, shaking the wrist up and down to exert force, the first joint of the index finger will not contract and bend, the big finger cannot be attached to the index finger for flexion and extension, the index finger is volleyed to pick the string, the right hand is swayed back and forth to rub the string, the index finger is on the string Bending the string up, raising the wrist too high, hitting the string too deep to produce noise, or the index finger being blocked by the string, etc., although the sound can be produced, the sound quality is too poor, which is not conducive to the control of the strength and timbre in the later learning, and Once a habit is formed, it is difficult to change.
Fingering practice: Pay attention to details when picking, and avoid all actions that are not related to string strikes.
