Chapter 86 sheet music

Refers to the special score for guqin.The qin score before the Tang Dynasty used words to describe the fingering and chord position of playing the piano. It is not like other music scores indicating the pitch, length, etc., but it shows which finger of the left hand holds a certain position of a string, and which finger is used for the right hand. Which fingering method is used to play the fingers, so that the notes pop up one by one according to the instructions, and they form a melody.This kind of musical notation is called character notation, and Jieshi Diaoyoulan handed down by Liang Qiuming in the Southern Dynasty is the only extant example of notation.

Although the written notation is clearly described, it is very cumbersome, so Cao Rou in the Tang Dynasty created a new notation, which simplifies the characters used in the notation into some symbols, such as the thumb, middle finger, and ring finger of the left hand. For "big", "middle" and "xi", the fingering of the right hand is also simplified into some symbols, such as "tiao" is simplified as "乚", "打" is simplified as "ding", and "hook" is simplified as "[not available ]"Wait.Then write the fingers used by the left hand and the pressed position on the top, and the fingering and chord number of the right hand on the bottom to form a symbol, such as "[None]", which means that the index finger of the right hand picks the seventh string, and the ring finger of the left hand presses the seventh string and the tenth string.

Of the various musical instruments in ancient times, only Guqin has the most scores. Now there are several collections, such as "Qin Music Collection" published by Zhonghua Publishing Co., Ltd., and "Guqin Music Collection" with stave notation.
