Hi all, I'm reading some music from a book I got recently entitled Zhongguo Minzu Minjian Qiyuequ Jicheng. There are some symbols that I can't identify after combing the web. Here's some pictures of the symbols I'm talking about. Can anyone help me out with these? Thanks!

In the first photo, the small circles indicate harmonics. The characters above the circles indicate fingering, - is 1st finger, = is 2nd finger, and so on. I think that the character above the three horizontal lines (3rd finger) indicates the inside string. I don't recognize the other symbols. What instrument is the score for, and what is the tune? If this is a modern tune, the composer may have invented some symbols to indicate special or new techniques. These should be explained in the score.
Sometimes it is useful to find a video or audio recording of a tune. That way you can find out the meaning of the symbols by the sounds.
Best wishes,
David
