1. In fact, many people have discussed the musical characteristics of Jiangnan silk and bamboo.
2. As early as the 1950s, Jin Zuli summed up his music style with the words "small, light, fine and elegant" in his handout "Overview of Silk and Bamboo in South China".
3. "Small" means that the band organization and musical structure are mostly small, "light" means that the musical taste focuses on lightness and elegance, "fine" means exquisite and exquisite performance style, and "elegant" means that the melody is beautiful, elegant, soft and clear.
4. Since then, new generalizations have been constantly carried out, such as "flower, fine, light, small, lively", such as "soft, fine, light", such as "gorgeous, colorful, quiet, elegant, smooth, Qingyue", etc. Now there is Mr. Qiao Jianzhong's "exquisite, gentle, light, elegant" ("Dai Xu").

7. What I feel is that the sound form of Jiangnan silk bamboo has the characteristics of "fine", the melody form has the characteristics of "dense", and the rhythm form has the characteristics of "stable".
