Nowadays, various channels of information are mixed, there are real and false, and there are subjective extremes, and we beginners have relatively little understanding of the guzheng and the guzheng industry, and it is easy to form a cognitive misunderstanding, which leads to the confusion in choosing a zither, or the lack of selection. Really suitable for their own guzheng. Now there are many guzheng brands, and their own words are the best choice for the perfect guzheng. However, the reality is that the quality of guzheng varies, and there are only a few that have really formed brands in the guzheng industry and users, such as Dunhuang and Shensheng in Shanghai, Suzaku in Xi'an, Dragon and Phoenix in Yangzhou, and Xuanguang in Hong Kong.

As far as the repertoire played by beginners and their usage conditions, any well-known brand of guzheng with guaranteed quality can be selected. Although the timbre characteristics of these brands are different, they have little impact on beginners.

The Dunhuang guzheng has a bright and crisp tone, and the sound is explosive and penetrating; the Shensheng guzheng has a bright and mellow tone, with a mellow and mellow voice; the Suzaku guzheng has a thick tone and strong sound resonance; Yangzhou zheng has a mellow tone and a long aftertaste.

At present, well-known brands have their own outstanding side and their relatively weak side. No guzheng is perfect. This is why many professional zither players have several zithers in their hands, and use different zithers to play different styles of repertoire, and at the same time avoid the problem of one zither going back and forth.

When choosing a guzheng, children mainly consider the following aspects: ① Guzheng quality is guaranteed (keep away from low-quality zheng), ② Guzheng tone should be liked, ③ The strings feel suitable for them, and ④ Choose a suitable model according to the budget.
