The technique of guzheng is multifaceted and indispensable to every genre, but it is not the same as basic skills. Professor Wu Qing compared basic skills to a person's meridians, so if you want to become a guzheng master, the first step is to clear the meridians. Only by straightening out the basic skills can it be possible to move to a higher level.
Basic skills play a supporting role in the "high-rise building" of Guzheng. It contains the definition of technology, but it is not the same as technology. The two are closely related. The performance form of guzheng playing and performance, from the entry to the starting position, to the performance, each step is a step-by-step process. Only by laying a solid foundation, can you walk more steadily and solidly step by step!
In the process of learning the guzheng, it is not advisable to jump levels arbitrarily, to find tricks and ways like playing checkers. It is like climbing a mountain, one step at a time, and then there will be real experience and gain. In the sense that today is laying the foundation for tomorrow, this piece is laying the foundation for the next piece, and this stage is laying the foundation for the next stage. Are you still worried that there is no tomorrow?
In fact, practicing basic skills is like the growth of bamboo. It only took 4 years for the bamboo to grow 3cm. Since the fifth year, it has grown wildly at a rate of 30cm per day, and it only took six weeks to grow to 15 meters. In fact, in the first four years, bamboo extended its roots in the soil by hundreds of square meters. The same is true for practicing basic skills. Don't worry that your efforts at this time will not be rewarded, because these efforts are all for taking root.
