What kind of music does whistle belong to?

Whistling should belong to an independent art, but many people are biased against whistling and have not been recognized by the public.

Some people say that "whistle should belong to the category of music, because it can blow out beautiful music, so it should belong to the category of music." "

Some people say, "whistling is the skill of mouth, and it is the art of people expressing their feelings with their mouths, so it should belong to the category of ventriloquism."

In my opinion, neither of the above views is comprehensive.

In my opinion, whistle is a unique artistic expression of expressing thoughts and feelings with the mouth. Whistle can't be simply and unilaterally classified into the category of import technology or music. However, whistling is closely related to ventriloquism and music. With the development of human history, the expression of whistle has been borrowed and used in ventriloquism and music. Whistling is integrated with ventriloquism and music.

Because:

First, judging from the relationship between ventriloquism and whistling, ventriloquism is a kind of acrobatic and quyi programs (including ventriloquism). Using pronunciation skills such as mouth, tongue, throat and nose to imitate various sounds, such as the sound of trains and birds, can enhance the sense of reality when performing with actions. In ancient times, ventriloquism was called "cross talk", which means imitating sounds. It is an art of imitating sound, and it is still popular today. It can be seen that in the performance form of ventriloquism, performers not only use many whistles, such as birdsong and shell sound, but also use many nasal sounds and throat sounds. Therefore, whistling can not replace and contain the whole category of ventriloquism, but is just one of the artistic expressions often used in ventriloquism.

Secondly, judging from the relationship between music and whistle, music is an art that uses organized music to express people's thoughts and feelings and reflect real life. Music can be divided into vocal music and instrumental music. Although whistle sounds through lips, tongue and airflow with the movement of mouth, it can not only simulate the singing of various singers in vocal music, but also simulate various musical instruments in music. It can be seen that whistling can fully express music and enrich the content of music.

Thirdly, from the actual performance of the art world, there are countless examples, whether it is to express music by whistling or to interpret ventriloquism by whistling.

Therefore, it is wrong and incomplete to think that whistle is a ventriloquism and whistle can only express music. It should be a unique art category.
