Abstract

As a member of plucked stringed instruments, Guzheng, with its granular sound characteristics, constitutes the melody and lines with a strong Chinese national style. The Guzheng playing technique is made up of 4 point like sound in the early spring and autumn period, such as “Tuo”, “Muo”, “Gou”, and “Da” (transliterate), and later developed and innovated linear music skills such as “Tuopi”, “Yaozhi”, “Lunzhi” (transliterate), etc. Guzheng art has a long history, and its playing techniques are constantly innovating. These innovations in linear techniques give the Guzheng, which is a traditional plucked instrument, the opportunity and possibility to better express linear music. In order to explore the meaning and effect of the linear technique of Guzheng performance on the art of Guzheng performance, this study systematically analyzes the development status, performance effects and training methods of the three Guzheng playing techniques, Tuopi, Yaozhi, Lunzhi. This study further analyzes the technical characteristics of the three techniques of Tuopi, Yaozhi, Lunzhi in guzheng playing, and draws conclusions about the importance of “linear” art in the development of Guzheng. It not only provides references for the performers in the acquisition of the three skills systematically, accurately and scientifically, but also helps the performers to improve their performance levels.
