Understand the characteristics of national tonals.
Ethnic tones usually have unique scales and interval relationships, such as pentatonic scales, quadrutone scales, etc. When arranging chords, it is necessary to first understand the scale characteristics of the key, and grasp the direction and interval relationship of the melody. For example, in the pentatonic scale, the interval relations are mainly major seconds and minor thirds, while in the four-tone scale, minor thirds and major seconds are dominant. These interval relationships affect how chords are configured.
Consider the harmony of the chords with the melody.

Common principles of harmony include avoiding dissonant intervals, utilizing consonant intervals, and utilizing chord transpositions. For example, in the pentatonic scale, a minor third chord can be in harmony with the minor third interval in the melody, while a seventh chord may create a sense of dissonance. Therefore, when configuring chords, it is necessary to choose the appropriate chord based on the specific melodic characteristics.

For example, in Adagio melodies, soft broken chords or sustained bass chords can be used to express deep emotion;In Allegro melodies, however, tense genus seventh chords or strong column chords can be used to express agitated emotions.
Consider the feasibility of playing technique.

Therefore, when configuring chords, it is necessary to combine the skill level and technical ability of the player, and choose a chord that can not only express the best characteristics but also be easy to play.
