What are the timbre characteristics of guqin?

The timbre of guqin has the characteristics of deep timbre, lingering sound, wide range and far-reaching meaning. Different fingering of strings produces different phonology, which makes Guqin's music sound restrained and implicit, full of tension, especially suitable for expressing the pianist's subtle inner world and strong emotions.

Guqin has clear and sweet treble and rich and firm bass, which can be divided into overtones, scattered sounds and bent sounds. Overtone is a playing method formed by combining left and right fingering. The fingers of the left hand falsely press the emblem to suppress the vibration of the whole string and only keep the vibration mode with the pressed emblem as the node. Its voice is crisp and high-pitched, sometimes looming, light and lively, like the sound of nature, and it has the metaphor of "floating clouds without roots and catkins". Therefore, the implication symbolizes heaven. The overtones played by Guqin are centered on the Seven Emblems, rising to both sides in turn, which can play about 1 19 overtones. The number and frequent use of overtones are also a major feature of the piano.

The scattered sound of guqin timbre is the empty string sound that only pops up without pressing the string with the right hand.
