KòuYáo 扣摇
Meant to invoke the sound of wind. While performing yaozhi with the right hand, pinch the string between the left hand thumb and index finger at the movable bridge. Slide the pinched left hand towards the right hand. This creates a muffled percussive sound that rises in pitch as the left hand moves closer to the right. The song “Fighting the Typhoon” has one of the most famous examples.
