Erhu learning "five-character secret"

First, about the fast bow and slow practice of the erhu. There is nothing wrong with this sentence itself, but many teachers will only say "fast bow and slow practice" when students ask how to practice fast bows. Personally, I think that the phrase fast bow and slow practice is a process rather than a method of fast bow practice. If it is a method, it is a method of flickering and prevarication without a method. Many people start practicing erhu since childhood, and they become a fast bow by slowly practicing it, which is honed by time. In a sense, it means knowing what it is and not knowing why. The method of practicing the fast bow is not the same as the method of playing.

Second, about the slow longbow practice. When students ask how to practice the erhu slow longbow, many teachers will say that they should practice the slow longbow for at least a few dozen minutes every day. How many beats to pull a bow and how long to pull, of course, this practice is also needed. But it gives people the impression that the concept of the erhu slow longbow refers to the bow to be drawn for a long time and a long time, which is a bit narrow. Personally, I think. The slow longbow of the erhu refers to the meaning of pronunciation. As long as the pronunciation meaning is slow longbow, then even one inch of bow movement is also a slow longbow. If you understand it this way, using the above method to practice the slow longbow feels like there is no way to do it. When the concept is not clear, it is also very difficult to practice the slow longbow well. In a sense, the slow longbow is not practiced by death, and the slow longbow practiced by death is mechanical, not flexible, without movement, and without vitality.

Third: about the concept of the basic skills of the erhu. People all summarize the fast and slow bow, fingering, glissando, beating, jumping, throwing and so on as the basic skills of erhu. Personally, I think it's quite unrigorous, these should be the category of basic erhu techniques, at most they can only be considered mantra basic skills! There should be a single exact definition of erhu basic skills.

Fourth: about the flatness, straightness and evenness of pushing and drawing the bow. I think it is very unscientific to push the bow, draw the bow and carry the bow in the erhu, and regard flat, straight and even as the methods and standards for bow movement. Flat, straight, and even, at most, can only be the methods and requirements for pushing and pulling the bow. The definition of erhu bow transportation should be: the bow is loaded with "goods", and the bow is called bow transportation. This "goods" includes emotions, connotations, emotions, and so on. The push and draw of the bow without "goods" lacks "spirit and spirit" and looks pale and weak, just like the empty roar of a transport cart running back and forth and without the weight and pressure of "goods", and this kind of "straight and even" practice has no meaning for improving the level of erhu performance.

The above four points are only some of the concepts of erhu confusion. It's all explained in my video on how to practice playing the five characters of the erhu.

The second word is to solve the problem of erhu slow bow. Let you understand why the erhu is not pulled. The third word teaches you how to play the erhu fast bow and slow bow well. The conversion mechanism between the fast bow and the slow bow of the erhu was clarified. The fourth word outlines the most basic requirements in erhu performance, teaches you how to play erhu quietly, cleanly and without noise, and solves the problem of changing bows without traces. The fifth word, to solve the problem of how to play a good tune, contains a lot, first, an academic definition of the basic skills of erhu, what we usually call the mantra of erhu basic skills is the basic technical category of erhu. Second, explain what is the soul of erhu. Third, explain the difference between erhu pushing and pulling the bow and carrying the bow, and the academic definition of erhu moving the bow. Fourth, the absolute role of internal force and internal strength in erhu performance, how to practice internal force and internal strength, without internal force and internal strength, you are not qualified to talk about the connotation.
