Generally speaking, the throwing bow is composed of two parts. The first part is a short jump sound, which can be started by drawing the bow or pushing the bow (the first bow of a set of throwing bows is usually a bow stroke). When the bow falls to the qin barrel, the thumb and index finger of the right hand are slightly relaxed, and the middle finger and ring finger press down the bow hair to prevent the bow from jumping up.

No matter it is several notes in a bow, the focus is on the first bowing note, and the subsequent bowing notes are played by the natural elasticity of the bow stalk, and the intensity must gradually weaken. trend. The arm movements of the bow-throwing should be dominated by rotational movements, supplemented by up and down movements. If the arm moves up and down too much, it will reduce the beat of the bow, giving people a thankless feeling. In terms of holding the bow, pay attention to different elastic changes, hold the bow slightly tight when playing the vice h6 and lifting the bow, and after the fall hits the qin barrel, the thumb and the index finger should be relatively relaxed immediately, so that the bow can beat naturally.
