Combining a downward slide with vibrato. Press a string to the desired pitch. Pluck it. Relax the left hand to create a downward slide. As the left hand, relaxes, play a vibrato. There are two additional techniques: 1) The right hand may also play yaozhi (tremolo) at the same time, combining vibrato, portamento, and tremolo in one technique. 2) the left hand may move to the left while playing, modifying the sound of the vibrato and downward slide (portamento).
