Abstract

As an adapted zhongruan piece, “Dry Heavenly Thunder” is very useful for beginners to progress in solving their skills. Adapted by the famous Yangqin player Yan Gongshang, the piece utilizes a lot of right hand picking techniques, as well as left hand glissando techniques, making it a unique zhongruan piece. In the process of learning and playing the piece, it is found that the picking technique is flexible in the piece and there are difficulties in practicing the picking technique in some parts of the piece, which can only be overcome in order to play the piece with higher quality. This problem can only be overcome if the piece is played in a high quality. It is necessary to practice each section according to the different picking problems. In this paper, the background, technical points and teaching methods of the work “Dry Heavenly Thunder” are sorted out and researched in parts: the historical flow of the development of zhongruan, the background of the zhongruan piece “Dry Heavenly Thunder”, the technical points. Through the research, it is found that the piece plays a great role in solving the basic skills of the players, and also lays the foundation for the subsequent performance of more difficult repertoire.
