As a traditional plucked musical instrument in China, the guzheng had already become popular in the Shaanxi Gansu Ningxia region during the Spring and Autumn, and Warring States periods. In the current era of promoting quality education, its gentle tone, rich expressive power, and easy-to-learn characteristics meet the learning needs of the mass market and have become one of the most popular musical instruments in the education market. As a Chinese zither learner who has been teaching for many years, the author believes that there is still an important and undeniable problem under this premise, that is, the teaching of basic Chinese zither skills cannot be completed with quality in the market environment. Due to concerns about the current situation, the author will sort out and analyze their own experiences and insights to clarify the current situation, determine the root cause, and form solutions.
