Tracing and Exploring the Influential Factors of Erhu Works with Northern Chinese Style

Abstract

In the new era of the development of Chinese traditional culture, "the Belt and Road" and "telling Chinese stories well", a new upsurge of inheritance of the performance art of traditional erhu works has been set off in the music industry. This article traces the influencing factors of the performance art of Chinese northern style erhu works, explores why northern dialects, folk music, and special style performance techniques are inevitable factors affecting the formation of "northern style" erhu works, and explores the reasons why their performance art presents a distinct "northern Chinese flavor" characteristic. Intended to compensate for the limitations of current research on single works and further improve systematic research in this field.The research findings indicate that:

1.Dialects can affect not only the beat and rhythm, melody and direction of music, but also the tone and flavor of music, as well as the categories of folk music.

2. Some works directly use folk song names and their melodies or related stories, while others use northern rap or opera music elements.

3.The special techniques of left hand string pressing, right hand bow movement, and two hand coordination have added the finishing touch to the artistic expression of the work.
