Each of the music types is very different. Even if the patterns are melodically similar, each music type adopts different kinds of instruments, tones, scores, and temperaments. Yangqin, a primary musical instrument used to perform in both Guangdong music and Chaozhou Xianshi music, plays a dramatically different role in each music types. In Guangdong music, Yangqin frequently shoulders up the solo and leading parts, while in Chaozhou Xianshi music, Yangqin is a complementary character that stabilizes Tempos and bridges between Erxian and Yehhu. How Yangqin is able to dynamically fit in different music types reminds a curious mystery. The purpose of this thesis is to explore the roles that Yangqin plays at Guangdong music and Chaozhou Xianshi music. This study focuses on the types, scores, tones, variation and bamboo techniques, and performance practices of Yangqin to discuss and clarify how its music style varies in both kinds of music. With all these discussions about Yangqin, this study expects to promote the traditional performing art of Yangqin and contribute to the inheritance practices and developments of Yangqin.
