What is the difference between a flute and a xiao

Question 1: What is the difference between a flute and a xiao? I can provide this information for the time being, I don't know if LZ is satisfied?

Xiao, soft and low tone; flute, high and loud tone, they represent two very different personalities, not a simple relationship between horizontal and vertical playing.

The Xiao is suitable for people who are introverted and calm; the flute is suitable for people who are cheerful and lively;

The difference in the instruments is also relatively large, the Xiao has no membrane, and the flute has a membrane. The length of the flute is generally not more than 2 feet, and the Xiao is more than 2 feet. The blowhole and sound hole of the flute are in a plane, while the Xiao is divided into three sides. The Xiao is closer to the ocarina, a close relative of the ancient ocarina, and has a much longer history than the flute.

In the performance, the Xiao can be more fascinating, expression of feelings, often ancient poetry and fugue everyone can play a handful of superb Xiao art, in today's Xiao with Guqin (zheng, ocarina) performance, more can show the long cultural heritage of China.

The flute is blown horizontally with a membrane hole, and the xiao is blown vertically without a membrane hole, but with a post-tone hole. The flute is also known as a, }, flute and so on. Some music lyrics are described in this way: ancient musical instruments, made of bamboo, on the sound hole like the flute. There is no indication whether it was played horizontally or vertically. Nowadays, there are also short vertical flutes without film, and their sound is closer to that of the flute than to that of the xiaojiao. So, in ancient times, the difference between the uncoated horizontal and vertical flutes was not great, and the sound was closer to that of the xiao. About the origin of the xiao and flute, the argument is different, according to > records, the Zhou dynasty in the elegant music has been used a. And flute homophonic same meaning. But a for vertical blowing, not horizontal blowing of the flute. It is also rumored that this kind of instrument originally came from Qiangzhong, and was called a in the Han Dynasty, initially with four finger holes. Western Han Jingfang added 1 hole, became 5 holes, Jin Dynasty a has 6 finger holes, similar to the modern xiao. With the excavation of archaeologists, Suizhou in Hubei Province unearthed two horizontal blowers from the Spring and Autumn and Warring States Periods. Open 6 holes, the shape and bamboo flute is very similar, only one end is closed. During the Wei and Jin Dynasties, it was used as the main instrument in the orchestra. In the Tang Dynasty, there was a flute with 6 holes and 1 hole with bamboo film, called the seven star flute (>). To the yuan dynasty dragon flute, and today's 6-hole bamboo flute is completely consistent. Up to this point. Flute and xiao concept has been basically clarified: horizontal blowing for the flute, vertical blowing for xiao.

So, which instrument was first created and used by people? From the human body structure, vertical blowing is more in line with the normal movement of the human body, while horizontal blowing requires an arm to the side, and the other arm needs to exceed the chest to the other side of the body. So you should blow vertically in front and horizontally in the back. However, because the volume of the horizontal blow is large, it travels far. After the membrane, the sound is crisp, bright and expressive, and the number of flute players has gradually increased. The volume of the flute is small, the tone is soft, sweet and elegant, suitable for solo and repertoire. The small volume is due to the structure of the flute itself. The blowhole of the xiao is very small and tilted inward according to the thickness of the pipe wall, which makes it difficult to play with a large airflow. The xiao is suitable for playing low and gentle tunes, sending quiet and distant reverie, and expressing delicate and rich emotions. It is quiet and elegant, with a rich aftertaste, and it is hard to find a soulmate to be intoxicated by it. For our fast-paced modern city life, it can undoubtedly make you appreciate the beauty of simplicity, back to basics, relaxation of the nerves, the pursuit of emotional peace, so that the thinking of the consciousness with the sublimation of the enjoyment of beauty.

The choice of flute

The choice of flute should be considered from the quality and category of flute. The quality of the flute depends on the quality of the pipe itself, but also on the level of production. When choosing and purchasing, you should check:

1, check the bamboo quality of the flute. Requirements for the bamboo tube solid (bamboo grain old). Bamboo grain fine. The body is straight and round. The general head of the body is slightly thicker than the tail, but the difference should not be too large. The thickness of the tube is moderate. The inner wall of the pipe is flat and smooth. The whole body is free of moths and cracks. The shape is beautiful and generous. These requirements, by visual identification.

2, test the pitch of the flute. The method is in accordance with the school sound instrument standard tone flute or sound instrument (accordion, electronic organ, etc.) against the test blow. After the main sound is determined, and then according to the interval relationship, the accuracy of all the pronunciation of the flute test. It is also possible to play the individual overtones to see if they come out easily and cleanly. Testing the overtones is also a good way to check the pitch of the real tone.

3. Check the volume of the recorder. Generally speaking, a flute with a high volume is good. Volume of the flute, *** sound big, strong vibration. There is sometimes a tingling sensation on the fingers when blowing.

4, test the tone of the flute. The general requirements for the tone are loose, thick, round and bright ...... >>

Question 2: What is the difference between xiao flute and xiao, flute? As for the xiao flute can have two explanations, one is no membrane hole flute, the other is a big bass flute, such as the big G key big F key, etc.

Question three: What is the difference between the flute and xiao, from the appearance of the flute blowing horizontally with a membrane hole, xiao vertical blowing and there is no membrane hole, but there is a back tone hole.

Question 4: What is the difference between a bamboo flute and a xiao? Your question is a long one. If you haven't learned either one, it's best to learn one of them first. It's better to learn one of them first if you haven't learned either one.

Since you asked, I thought you might be thinking about whether to choose the bamboo flute or the xiao. But since I don't know what you're considering, I don't know how to recommend it. If you can, you add a bit of clarification down the line.

Since you mentioned fingering and tone: fingering is very similar, the difference is only in the part of the highest tone (the one of the xiao is equivalent to the flute closest to the mouth in the back of the xiao oh). Tone, the flute overall brighter, xiao volume smaller, will not be noisy dormitory people (I originally play both, but four years of college have changed to play the xiao, the room is small, the flute blowing up they will die, graduation and then play the flute again). But if you're going to perform on stage, we recommend the flute (amphitheater). The flute was originally used by the ancients to play with their friends at home. Note the word "play". Also, from my knowledge (almost 20 years), the range of the xiao is 2-3 steps wider than the flute. The flute's range is 2-3 steps wider than the flute's. The flute can go up to a high 6, while the xiao can go up to a high 1 or 2.

Regarding tone, the flute is roughly divided into the bang flute (high and bright) and the qu flute (less bright), but there are actually many kinds of flutes, and some of them are not so noisy, such as the big flute.

Oh, I'll start with these, I'll see what you have to say.

Comrade ruochai's answer is the best one, considering that you are going to cultivate a hobby and presumably play for the rest of your life. The flute is more expressive. If you play alone it is better to flute. Tell me about the personal situation: if it will not be noisy to other people, I used to play the flute are half a day and half a day to blow (the first time to learn to blow for a long time of course will be dizzy, after that it will not, blow for how long are not dizzy); blowing is very easy to get tired, I do not know why, maybe I am self-taught, gestures may have problems, but I can not think of a better posture, watching TV on the teacher Weiliang is also my posture of this position, the main thing is that the right hand is very awkward, the right hand is not 20 minutes, but the wrist is not too long. It doesn't take more than 20 minutes for my wrist to hurt. So, if you are playing alone, you should learn the flute first. The flute is a great way to learn how to play the flute, and then you can play the flute naturally.

Question 5: What are the differences between the flute and the xiao? are traditional Chinese musical instruments, the flute and Xiao different points are mainly different tone, the other there are pronunciation medium, fingering and so on different; in the tone of the flute higher than the Xiao tone has a kind of masculine beauty, and the Xiao is the opposite, Xiao's pronunciation of the lower, basically, the Xiao pronunciation is a key. The flute has A-G several keys rely on the membrane of the flute pronunciation, the higher the tone of the pronunciation of the more brittle, and the thinner the membrane of the pronunciation of the flute the more pointed, the G tone of the flute pronunciation light is a bit like Xiao, Xiao issued by the cavity sound, the flute's pronunciation of the bamboo cavity and the membrane of the flute **** with the pronunciation, so the flute pronunciation is very bright, and the Xiao is still low rhyme; flute do not pronounce the holes can be issued monotone, also accompanied by a different role in life. Different roles, flute and suona as accompanied by cheerful, joyful part of the surroundings, Xiao also with the erhu, the more you listen to the more sad, acting as a depressive atmosphere, the two kinds of music in people's artistic life also occupies an important position, no matter whether it is used to perform or used to cultivate the body and mind, are music lovers are indispensable. Chinese traditional musical instruments than those of foreign countries and big and benzene heavy musical instruments, China is more representative of the natural sound of human beings, the natural habitat of the sound, always so exquisite!

The flute and xiao are both bamboo wind instruments shape is not very different performance techniques also have a lot of similarities to say the difference between a few aspects First of all, the blowing posture horizontal blowing and vertical blowing mouthpiece is also slightly different

Secondly, the sound *** don't The flute relative to the xiao to crisp, loud and clear a little more xiao generally to low and elegant a little more

The horizontal blowing flute vertical blowing Xiao, blowing Xiao pay attention to the "low head squinting, after the sound around the beam", the sound is smooth. The flute, on the other hand, emphasizes the "heart to its state", and the sound is much clearer than that of the Xiao.

The Xiao is an ancient national instrument of China, and the harp is a Western instrument.

The English Horn belongs to the alto section, the Bassom to the tenor section, and the Fagotto to the bass section. All of them have a mouth spring, which vibrates to pronounce the sound. Their tones are melancholic and have a magical power to attract people.

In the Han Dynasty, the xiao was called "a", "vertical a" or "Qiang flute". The Qiang flute was originally a musical instrument of the Qiang people who lived in Sichuan and Gansu in ancient times. Initially, it had only 4 holes (3 tone holes plus 1 hole in the mouth of the pipe), and the Western Han Jingfang (word Junming, 77 ~ 37 BC) became a 5-hole xiao after adding one of the highest tone holes at the back.

In the Western Jin Dynasty, the flute reformed by the musician Lie He and the Chinese Minister of the Book, Xun Castor, was a 6-hole flute (5 holes in the front and 1 hole in the back), whose shape is very similar to today's xiao. Huan Yi of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, good at music, he had a Cai Yong's Ke Ting flute (xiao), is the first number of Jiangnan xiao masters, status and reputation have been very high. He had played three pieces of music for Wang Huizhi, who was unknown to him, and was rumored to be a good story in history.

Before the Tang Dynasty, flute xiao is usually not divided, to the Tang Dynasty, appeared in front of six holes, next to a hole, plus a bamboo film flute, at this time, the concept of flute xiao is basically separate, blowing horizontally for the flute. Vertical blowing for xiao.
