There are seven major schools of guzheng, namely Shaanxi Zheng, Henan Zheng, Shandong Zheng, Chaozhou Zheng, Hakka Zheng, Zhejiang Zheng and Inner Mongolia Zheng, and their zither songs and playing methods have their own characteristics. Shaanxi Zheng: Also known as "Qin Zheng", it is simple and elegant, retains the original flavor of ancient songs, is the ancestor of various Zheng schools, and is now popular in northwest China. Henan Zheng: It was introduced into Henan and merged with the local folk music "The Voice of Zheng Wei" to develop into a famous Zhongzhou ancient song in later generations. Fu Xuan's evaluation of Henan Zheng music in Fu Zhengxu is that "the melody is high and few, and the technique is exquisite and difficult to work", which is characterized by impassioned heart.

Chaozhou Zheng: Popular in Chaozhou, Guangdong Province, it has a special musical structure and unique rotating style. It is exquisite, subtle and unique with its unique way of playing with flowers with smooth and gorgeous right and left hands. The main tunes are heavy six, light six, lively five and anti-line. Among them, the tune of Liu Chong is euphemistic; The tune of Light Six is fresh and lively; The tune of "Living Five" is touching and sad, with distinctive rhythm. Hakka Zheng: that is, the Zheng music of Guangdong Han music, which is one of the excellent traditional music in Guangdong. Guangdong Han music has a long history. According to legend, it was a long historical period from the ninth year of Jin 'an (AD 405) to the demise of the Song Dynasty, which was popular in places where Hakka people lived in compact communities, such as eastern Guangdong, including Meixian, Huiyang and Shaoguan counties, as well as parts of Jiangxi, Fujian and Taiwan Province provinces and places where overseas Chinese lived in compact communities.

Inner Mongolia Zheng: Only 10 string, mostly used for folk songs and pastoral accompaniment. Traditional Zheng music can be divided into two schools: North and South, and now it is generally divided into eight schools: First, Shaanxi Zheng, "Zhen" has gradually spread from the northwest to all parts of the country since Qin and Han Dynasties, and has been integrated with local operas, rap and folk music, forming various schools with strong local styles. Traditional Zheng music is divided into North and South schools, but now it is generally divided into eight schools. In the past, Mr. Cao Zheng said that "the nine factions spread to China", but now he has a new point of view. ) Different schools of Zheng music and playing methods have their own characteristics. Shaanxi Zheng: Shaanxi is the birthplace of China Zheng. But now, the "Royal" Zheng music is almost perfect. Traditional Chinese opera and folk music are rich and colorful, among which there are many traditional musical instruments, but there are few or no Zheng. It is only in Yulin that Zheng is used as an accompaniment instrument, which appears in the accompaniment of Yulin ditty together with dulcimer, pipa and sanxian. Mr. Cao Zheng, a famous theorist and educator, said that this is "the sequela of Qin Zheng". Although Zheng has been in Yulin for more than 300 years, Yulin is remote and its culture is relatively backward. The skill of playing the Zheng is still stuck in the ancient method. The right hand mainly uses two fingers to eat, and the left hand rarely trembles, which is the earliest way to play the Zheng. Zheng has gradually disappeared in Shaanxi, and his descendants have no news. At the end of 1950s, Shaanxi Zheng experts put forward the slogan of "Returning to Qin", and did a lot of work from theoretical research to playing skills, from accompanying local operas to composing Zheng music with unique style, which made Shaanxi people familiar with Zheng again.
