A Comparative Study Of The Northern And Southern Schools Of Bamboo Flute

Bamboo flute is a traditional Chinese musical instrument.It is named after bamboo.It has been passed down for thousands of years in Chinese history and has its unique charm.The ancestor of bamboo flute is the "Bone Flute" made of the bones of birds and animals.In ancient China,the bone flute has experienced many improvements in material,shape and tone,and has developed into the present bamboo flute.In ancient China,bamboo flute has always been in the subordinate position of various tunes and vocals.In the Ming and Qing Dynasties,the development of Chinese opera reached its heyday.In this period,along with the maturity of opera,bamboo flute developed into the main instrument of opera accompaniment.There are two forms of bamboo flute: Bangdi and Qudi.Qudi is mostly used in southern opera and instrumental ensemble,while Bangdi is mostly used as accompaniment in northern opera.The difference between southern and Northern bamboo flute art is gradually clear from this period.In the 1950 s,the bamboo flute,which was originally an accompaniment instrument of traditional Chinese opera,was put on the stage of solo by a piece of "happy meeting".Then,the bamboo flute solo music came into being like mushrooms.The southern style music played by Qudi is called "southern school",while the northern style music played by Bangdi is called "Northern School",and the southern school and the northern school are officially put on the stage of bamboo flute history.The southern school and the Northern School of bamboo flute have their own characteristics because of their long-term influence of different historical,custom,humanity,geography,climate and other factors,so they have different musical styles.This paper makes a deep comparison and analysis based on their respective musical styles.The different styles of the southern school and the northern school must first be reflected in the main part of the music.For example,the same variation technique in the structure of the music is accompanied by different ways of handling and different characteristics of the rotation,showing different musical images,as well as the analysis and research of various aspects of the structure and characteristics such as rhythm,tonality and speed strength.Secondly,the accompaniment texture of the music.On the one hand,the southern school and the northern school have the same characteristics,which reflect the single characteristics of the accompaniment texture of traditional Chinese music.The last part of the analysis and research is the performance method and skills,which often give people some more intuitive feelings.In the third part of the article,the author selects the representative music of the northern school "happy meeting" and the representative music of the southern school "partridge flying" by Lu Chunling for example analysis.First of all,it introduces the creation background of the repertoire and the influence of the repertoire on the development history of bamboo flute and on social music and culture.Secondly,it expounds each music in sections.Finally,it studies the two repertoires In conclusion,the research of southern and Northern art forms of bamboo flute will be more clearly demonstrated.In the fourth chapter,the author analyzes and studies the inheritance and development of bamboo flute art.First,starting from the first song of the integration ofthe north and the south,the author analyzes the influence and significance of the first song of the integration of the north and the South on the development history of bamboo flute art.If the bamboo flute art wants to be inherited and stand on the stage of Chinese folk music history,it needs to continue to develop and improve,in terms of music Take the essence of traditional flute tune and go to the dross of traditional flute.To a great extent,the repertoire of the integration of the northern and southern schools has enriched the expressive force,style and connotation of bamboo flute,which is an important work in the art history of bamboo flute.After the integration of the north and the south,the bamboo flute has a new vitality.Although the bamboo flute has been more mature with the prosperity of the opera and the emergence of the independent form,the development of the bamboo flute art has not stopped.At the same time,there are still some problems that need to be improved,such as the shape,materials,accessories and other aspects of bamboo flute to be improved and innovated.Although many predecessors have made efforts to explore and improve these aspects,they have not fundamentally solved the problem.Therefore,the improvement of bamboo flute is still on the way and needs to be improved day by day.In the future,the existing problems and development needs of flute players,flute makers,composers,our theoretical researchers and other people to complete together,so that the art of bamboo flute can move towards a more brilliant tomorrow.
