As the saying goes, "The left hand makes three parts of the world, and the right hand makes seven parts of the world", which refers to the importance of bowing with the right hand in huqin performance. Therefore, the whole process of "mind leading" to control the good luck bow is very important for huqin performance. We all know that more than 90% of the behavior of adults depends on the guidance of consciousness and the guidance of ideas, and Huqin learning is no exception. Especially for middle-aged and elderly friends who are new to Erhu, strengthening the training of "ideal guidance" in bowing and fingering can play a multiplier effect on playing the huqin well.

Four key exercises for Huqin's

In the process of practicing the piano, the following four aspects should be strengthened:

1. Relax and transmit power smoothly. 

Taking the shoulder joint as the axis, the big arm drives the forearm and transmits the force to the wrist, and the wrist goes first to drive the bow to move horizontally. The transmission of the arm should be smooth, without obstruction, and the transmission should be direct, relying on the natural sinking force of the arm to transmit the force to the strings, and do not accumulate the force on the drum.

2. Standardize and rationally allocate bow segments.

A well-written piece has depth in its layout, paragraphs, and levels. When writing a piece, length, layout, and theme must be considered. In the same way, bowing should also take the overall situation and make overall arrangements, and use the bow sections and bow sequences reasonably. The right hand controls the speed of the Lucky Bow. It should be fast or slow, and it should be slow or slow. The principle is to save and make full use of the bow.

3. Flexible and precise left and right coordination. 

The right-hand string change is coordinated, synchronized, and unified with the left-hand change. The "power point" of the left finger should be concentrated, and 100% of the emotion should be concentrated on the fingertips; the right hand should also have a kind of power to cater to and find the "power point" of the left hand, so that the left and right coordination should be done in an orderly manner. will be full.

4. Harmony of heart and hands in coordination and synchronization. 

Only when the bow is real, the sound will not float. It is difficult to guarantee a good tone when playing the "big windmill" style round bow. Wherever the bow goes, the heart moves. If the heart is there, the strength is there, and the tone is there. The sound is obtained in the heart, and the hand should be used to achieve the realm of the unity of the human and the qin.

"Inspiration to lead" Huqin bowing is very important for adults who are beginning to learn Huqin. More than 70% of the timbre, the emotional cadence, the rhythm, etc. are completed by the right bow. Therefore, it is very important to strengthen the training of mind-guided muscle flexion and extension.
