Yueqin has a lot of playing skills, but usually the right hand uses methods such as playing, plucking, picking, long wheel, and strumming, while the left hand uses methods such as pushing, pulling, kneading, and shifting fingers. "Play" and "Pick" are the main performance techniques of Yueqin. Yueqin is a traditional Chinese plucked musical instrument, which originated in the Han Dynasty.

When playing the yueqin, you should hold the qin obliquely in front of your chest, hold the qin in your left hand to press the strings, and use your right index finger or pick to pluck the strings to make sounds. Picks are made of bamboo, horn or bone. The Yueqin is often tuned in the relationship of fifths or fourths. The four-stringed Yueqin can have two strings of the same tone, and each string can be fixed with a tone.

The basis of Yueqin's right-hand performance is: playing, plucking, picking, and wheeling. The playing method is to hold the shrapnel tightly with the index finger and thumb of the right hand, form a 45-degree angle between the wrist and the forearm, use the power of the wrist to play the strings above and in front of the bergamot, repeatedly strum, and evenly strum, remember not to play strong or weak.

After the right hand is basically proficient, cooperate with the left hand. The method of the left hand is to use the thumb to hold the neck of the piano, and the other four fingers use the fingertips to play on the frets, remember to use the part just ahead of the fingertips. When the finger is raised, it should not be too high or too high, which will affect the speed. In addition, there are methods such as push, pull, and finger movement.

Beginners can start training with scale exercises, starting from sixteenth notes, eighth notes, and quarter notes, from slow to fast, and repeated practice, requiring smooth melody, uniform notes, and granularity in each note.
