| Shandong School Shandong guzheng music has its root from Shandong opera “Lui-Ju”. The music is overflowed with enthusiasm. Traditionally, the Shandong School uses silk-stringed guzheng. The silk strings require harder push than the steel strings; therefore, the Shandong playing style is known to have hard push with the left hand. More over, Shandong musicians use real nails instead of picks, therefore the nail utilization is extremely elegant. They pluck using first joint, and the fingers are able to move fast. Well-known Shandong musicians are Mr. Zhang Wei-Zhao, Mr. Zhao Yu-Zhai, Gao Zi- Chen, Mr. Han Ting Gui and so on. There are two types of Shandong guzheng music, the “Da-Ban”, and the “Xiao Ban”. “Da-Ban” is often played at the end of the opera. “Da-Ban” has 68 measures, and is played repeatedly with stronger emotion. “Xiao Ban” music refers to the Shandong folk songs that are generally lively and enthusiastic.
