ABSTRACT

Pipa was first introduced to the Central Plains from Persia, which is deeply influenced by Chinese music aesthetic thought. Whether it is delicate and elegant literary music or fierce martial music, pipa embodies the essence of traditional Chinese music thought aesthetically. In the continuous evolution of the pipa in the past 2,000 years, it has reached an unprecedented height in terms of shape, vocal range, and playing technique. If the playing technique of the right hand is the skeleton of lute music, then the playing technique of the left hand of the pipa is the soul of pipa music. This article will introduce the common techniques of the pipa with the left hand, and analyze the use of different techniques in the corresponding representative works.
