What to bring when playing the guzheng? Guzheng nails.

Guzheng nails, fake nails, also known as prosthetic nails, have been used in ancient times, zheng playing with real nails is called zheng; playing with fake nails is called playing zheng. According to records, as far back as the Jin Dynasty, there was: "Playing a zheng is more than an inch of bone and claws, and it is also used to refer to it." In Du Fu's poems, there is also the sentence "Silver armor is used to play the zheng".

The plucking tool of the koto has fake nails and real nails. In the past, koto players mostly used their own real fingernails to pluck the strings, and this method has been used until now. Real nail plucking, although flexible and convenient, has many shortcomings. Then there are guzheng nails.

The use of guzheng nails is to increase the volume, extend the length of the fingers, and protect the fingertips and nails. Whether the nails are properly worn or not is directly related to the quality of piano practice and the effect of playing.
