The fingerings that Guzheng must practice every day include hook, hold, split, pick, wipe, tick, hit and so on. These fingerings are all basic single fingerings, and different fingerings can be combined with each other to form more complex compound fingerings.

The fingering of Tuo is to pluck the string with the thumb to the outside, and the fingering of the split is to pluck the string with the thumb to the inside. Among them, the fingering of Tuo is the most basic fingering when playing the guzheng. This basic fingering is often used in some single-tone performances. . The direction of the split fingering is the direction of the treble, and the direction of the support fingering is the direction of the bass.

The split fingering is not played straight up, but at a slightly sloping angle. The directions of the split and tow fingerings are completely opposite, but the technique of playing is exactly the same. The two fingerings are often used together, but not simultaneously, but alternately.

When the two fingerings are used together, most of the fingerings are used first, followed by the fingering of split, so that the melody played is more harmonious and beautiful. In addition, the fingering of the hook is also relatively common, and it will be used in conjunction with the fingering of the support.
