In our daily life, there are often more times when the guzheng is not around, but at this time, we can't relax. With a few simple tricks, your fingers can be exercised at any time!

No need for guzheng, let your fingers get exercise at any time

Note: Don't get tired at any time; only full attention will help; even if only one finger joint is moving, pay attention to letting the whole body relax.

  1. The shoulder rotates in the sagittal plane, and the arm hangs negatively as it rotates.
  2. Draw a circle with the arms: first lift the arms with the backs of the hands facing each other; the fingers begin to lift in front of the eyes, and the palms face upwards when the arms are vertical; the arms are raised directly in front of the body, and he descends from both sides with large soft movements; The palms are forward as you land; then, the arms are turned inward as you fully land, so that the backs of the hands are facing each other again when you start to lift again.
  3. Relax your arms, straighten them out, and draw a circle. The arms form a unified whole from the fingertips to the shoulders. The rotation is large. It should feel as if the fingertips are pulling the arm. This can be done by relaxing the entire body.
  4. Lower arm raise and lower movements. The palms remain firmly in the chord-playing position: this creates the feeling that the fingertips are directly activated by the elbows.
  5. Relax your wrists and make soft bends; your fingers should also be relaxed. Shake and stretch your fingers, straighten your wrists, and relax. Straightening begins with an active movement of the fingers; the palm sags naturally when relaxed.
  6. Contrary to the previous action.
  7. With the palms facing inwards, the wrists move up and down. (sideways action)
  8. The fingers are slightly bent, and the palm is upward. Using this state as a starting point, stretch your five fingers to the maximum.
  9. Bend your fingers as close to your wrist as possible, then rub your fingertips along your palm to the base of your fingers.
  10. Put the four fingers of the left hand together and insert the right hand facing the right side of the left hand, so that the three to five fingers are above the left hand, and the two to four fingers are below the left hand. Replace quickly. This exercise is a good preparation for playing alternate thirds.
  11. Take turns making circles with each finger, starting down, then up. (Good for exercising "speed muscles")
  12. Take turns spreading each finger sideways, as far apart as possible. (Do not overwork your fingers)
  13. The ultimate solution: when watching TV every day, the guzheng finger training device---skilled, hot finger training is also a good choice.
