Abstract
The formation and development of Chinese national chamber music has experienced the temper of history, which reflects its musical charm as a traditional art. Da Ruan plays an irreplaceable role in the band and group, and in the national instrumental chamber music works. This paper analyzes the timbre, tone quality and playing methods of Da Ruan in Chinese national instrumental chamber music works, and sorts out how to realize Da Ruan's role in chamber music, and summarizes the role and development trend of Da Ruan in national instrumental chamber music. This instrument can not only solo, and in the band as a bass part, its sound quality is rounded and rich, beautiful, low and graceful. This instrument is not only a member of the national orchestra, but also plays an important role in the national instrumental chamber music and instrumental combination [1], especially in the performance of the chamber orchestra, Da Ruan has always played an important role in the bass part. With the improvement of the understanding of the value of traditional music, the small ensemble form of national instrumental music is tending to a more refined and standardized development path. In particular, the instrument began to gain the attention of composers and performers in general, and its use became increasingly frequent in newly created works.
