There is a five-degree relationship between Beijing and Hu, and there are different tunes according to different tunes of Beijing opera. The two strings of Jinghu have a fixed five-degree relationship. According to the different accompaniment tunes of Beijing Opera, they are often fixed as c 1, g 1 (anti-double spring), G, d 1 (double spring), A, e 1 (Xipi) and d 1, A66.

When Jinghu uses silk strings, generally, two strings are outer strings and the old strings are inner strings. In the same jinghu, steel strings are crisper than silk strings. Because the strings of Jinghu are short and the range is not wide, it is not suitable for ordinary music playing or accompanying songs and dances. When playing Jinghu, the player's feet are flat and separated, the left hand holds the piano under the hook, the piano tube is placed on the left leg, and the piano rod is slightly tilted to the left. Hold the bow in your right hand and play steadily. Bowing methods include drawing bow, pushing bow, trembling bow, shaking bow, bow, carrying bow and fast bow. When the left hand presses the string, the hand shape is semicircular. Except the thumb, the other four fingers touch the string at the position between the fingertips. In addition to pressing the sound, fingering mainly includes techniques such as kneading strings, typing, sliding sound and leaning on the sound.
