The paper is devoted to the study of the traditional and modern repertoire of the Chinese stringed instrument - erhu. In the traditional repertoire, poetic images of nature are revealed mainly in the lyrical works of the cantilena style. Samples of melodies and
their expressive techniques are presented by specifi c examples. The author proves the necessity to use hieroglyphs for designating various playing techniques, primarily in the fi eld of bow movements (direction of bow movement, techniques of its inclination, pressing, etc.). The paper provides the transcript of the musical notation for the erhu with the use of hieroglyphs.
Key words: Erhu, repertoire, piece of music, string instrument, strokes, score, performer, bow movements, hieroglyphs.
