The term dynamics refers to the intensity of the notes in a score or musical performance, or the intensity of the sounds. The control of intensity during performance must be unified with the content of the music. Only when you have feelings in your heart and are moved can you discover the most beautiful sound and express the performer's artistic understanding and experience of the work through changes in intensity. Just as it is said in "Qin Jue" (written by Zhao Xiaosheng) that "if the mind has different voices, the strength will be different" and "if the internal pressure is slightly applied, the strength will be buffered".

In performance, intensity is of great significance to the processing of parts. Main-key music often has several parts such as melody, middle part and bass. If the melody uses mf, the accompaniment part uses p to set off the main melody; if the accompaniment part uses mf, the melody part uses f.

The melody lines should be prominent, the middle part should be quiet and full, the bass should be solid, clear and elastic. This requires different strength control of both hands, and even different fingers of one hand have different strengths when completing different parts.
