When playing, most of the postures used are to sit cross-legged, place the qin in front of the legs, or place the head of the qin on one's right leg in an inclined state, or place the qin on a wooden frame or a high platform. above.

The thumb, index finger and middle finger of the right hand wear bone-made nails to pluck the strings, and the index finger and middle finger of the left hand are the main ones, supplemented by the thumb and ring finger.

The right hand has fingerings such as support, split, hook, pick, wipe, buckle, wheel, even support, continuous wipe, double pick, double buckle and so on. The left-hand pressing method has skills such as empty, solid, empty, slippery, rubbing, shaking, wiping, and spotting.

The index finger of the left hand can also be played alternately with the right hand with a bone-made nail pick. Many pastoral areas do not wear bone-made fingernails to play.
