There are many ways to shake your fingers, including thumb shaking, index finger shaking, middle finger shaking, two-tone shaking, three-tone shaking, swipe shaking, buckle shaking, etc. Thumb shaking means the thumbs continuously alternate outward or inward. For splitting the strings, the index finger is also used for other fingerings. When playing, the method of shaking is different.

Thumb shake is divided into support wrist shake, stub shake, hanging wrist shake, fast support and split shake, as well as index finger shake, two-finger shake, buckle shake, sweep shake, multi-finger shake.

Wrist shaking is to gently pinch the thumb with the index finger, press the base of the palm on the head of the zither at the foot of Qianyue Mountain to form a point, then use the wrist to drive the fingers, and use the index finger to pinch the thumb to adjust the volume of the guzheng.

Use your little finger as a fulcrum, and lower your wrists when you play, and then play again. The wrist shake is a finger shake that relies on the control and strength of the wrist.

The fast support and split shake is to use the base joint of the thumb to pluck the strings, and use the joint between the thumb and the palm as a moving point to drive the movement of the whole finger.

The index finger shake is to use the fingering of wiping and picking to continuously pluck the strings inward and outward. When playing, the middle finger, ring finger and little finger are naturally relaxed, and the index finger is used to control the depth and angle of the strings.

Two-finger shaking is the thumb and index finger strumming the strings continuously inward and outward simultaneously with the fingerings of the thumb and the index finger.
