How to change the key of D in Guzheng

Guzheng usually adopts close relation transition, that is, the relation between two tones differs only by one sharp or one flat.

Guzheng is set on a pentatonic scale, and the commonly used tuning is to achieve the purpose of "transposition" by "moving the column". The order of tones commonly used in Guzheng is as follows: #F <--- B <--- E <--- A <--- d="" ---=""> G ---> C -- -> F ---> bB ---> bE

The key of D is the basic key.

Move all the do notes in the key of D to the direction of Yueshan, and lower the semitone to si. This si becomes the mi of the new key of A, and the conversion from D to A is completed. Similarly, from A to E, from From E to B, and from B to #F, it is also necessary to first find the do sound of the original first key, lower the do sound group, move all the zheng codes of the do sound group to the direction of Houyueshan, and reduce the semitone to become the si sound , the tone becomes the transposed scale mi tone, which is transferred to a new tone.

Move the mi sound in the pentatonic scale of D, that is, the zheng code of the fourth, ninth, fourteenth, and nineteenth strings in the direction of Qianyueshan, and raise the semitone to become the fa sound, which is the tone of the transposed G key. The tonic do becomes the pentatonic scale of G, and the conversion of D to G is completed. Similarly, from G to C, C to F, F to bB, and bB to bE, the original key must be found. For the mi sound in the middle, move all the zheng codes of the mi sound group in the direction of forward Yueshan, raise the semitone to fa sound, and use it as the do sound of the new tune, and the modulation is completed.
