Features: Specifically, this book can be divided into three stages. The first stage is the stage of creation and implementation. Utilizing the half-hole fingering method of the traditional six-hole bamboo flute to fix the key and play 12 half-tones is the best solution to the current tuning problem of the bamboo flute. This reform is different from general instrumental reform; it is a transformation in ideology, concepts, and playing methods. Since it adopts fixed-tuning sight-reading and playing, it is very practical for solving the sight-reading and sight-playing problems of performers, while also being easily accepted by bamboo flute enthusiasts. The views expounded in this book are not opposed to traditional playing methods; rather, they are not intended to replace traditional playing methods. On the contrary, this playing method not only does not affect the stylistic characteristics of traditional music, but also elevates the performance of traditional music.
