Guzheng teaching grade test enthusiasts usually have a question, how are the grade test pieces graded? As far as the currently published textbooks are concerned, the guzheng grade test pieces are generally divided into 9 or 10 grades.

For example, the teaching materials compiled by the Music Grade Examination Committee of the Chinese Musicians Association are divided into 9 grades; while the teaching materials compiled by the Chinese National Orchestra Society are divided into 10 grades. There are also textbooks compiled and printed by other art colleges and government departments, and there are also grades 9 or 10, which vary.

Whether it is divided into 9 or 10, the purpose of the assessment is the same:

First, most of these repertoires that measure the artistic level and the level of learning the guzheng are the same; This is like taking a bus. You have to go from the starting point to the destination destination. The distance is certain. As for the number of stops in the middle, this is not the most important.

Second, no matter how many levels, the purpose is to define a public standard recognized by experts, relatively standardized and easy to operate and identify among the many repertoires from elementary, intermediate to advanced, as the assessment basis for common compliance. Only the first, second to ninth and tenth grades were created.

In fact, this is entirely the product of the fever of learning zheng and exams in recent years. What needs to be said is that the level of the level is not divided by the addition and subtraction of mathematical concepts, but is judged by the technical content as a means to achieve the quality of artistic expression.
