What is the difference between Hulusi and Bau? Is Bau the same as Hulusi? What s the difference?

To put it simply: a gourd silk, pulling out the supervisor is an unadorned Bau.

The two are almost the same, the blowing method is the same, and adding a gourd on top of the Bao may become a gourd silk!

The sound principle of the two is similar, both are copper reed vibration sounds, both have different keys, and the timbre is very similar.

The main difference is in appearance, the gourd silk is composed of a mouthpiece, a gourd and a main sound pipe with one or two sound pipes, and the Bao is just a long pipe. Due to this difference in shape, according to the classification of Chinese instrumental music "eight sounds", the Bao belongs to bamboo, and the gourd silk belongs to Kuang.

The gourd silk is blown vertically, while the bau is blown horizontally.

1. The structure position is different.

The structure of the two breath entrances is different, the gourd silk is "protruding", hence the name "mouthpiece", and the Bau "not protruding", hence the name "mouthpiece". The position of the mouth of the two breaths is different, the position of the gourd silk mouthpiece is at the top, which determines that the gourd silk must be blown vertically, and the mouth of the gourd is located at the left end, which determines that the gourd must be blown horizontally.

2. The blowing is different.

Due to the different structures of the gourd silk "mouthpiece" and the "mouthpiece" of the bawu, the shape of the two mouths is also very different, so there is a saying in the Dai folk that "the mouth pouts blow the gourd, and the grin blows the bawu". The standard lip shape for both is:

Hulusi: The mouth shape of the blowing mouth is similar to the pronunciation of the Chinese character "屋 (pouting)".

Bau: The mouth shape is similar to the pronunciation of the Chinese character "七 (grin".

3. The exhalation method is different.

The correct method of exhalation is as follows:

Hulusi: "t" means "tu" in Chinese pinyin; "k" stands for "ku" in Hanyu Pinyin.

Bau: "t" means "te" in Chinese pinyin; "k" stands for "ke" in Chinese pinyin.

After tasting it carefully, you can realize that it is difficult to accurately pronounce "te" and "ke" with "pouting mouth", and it is also difficult to accurately pronounce "tu" and "ku" with "grinning". Therefore, it is unscientific not to make a distinction between the two in terms of the method of exhalation.

4. Emphasizing that the tone of mouth is meaningless.

From the above analysis, we can also get an off-topic gain, that is, when learning and practicing Hulusi Bau, we don't have to consider some concepts that are only involved in playing the flute, such as mouth wind, mouth strength, and wind gate. I can responsibly tell every enthusiast that there is no need to waste your precious time and energy in this regard.

"Hulusi Bawu Practical Course" is a book published by the National Publishing House in December 2002, and the author is Li Chunhua. The book contains a large number of scores from Hulusi and Bau, which is suitable for readers to learn.
