Xiao, also known as dongxiao, single-pipe, vertical blow, is also a very ancient musical instrument. It is generally made of bamboo and is blown straight. There is a blow hole at the top, and the sound holes are the first five and the second one. As early as "Shangshu·Yiji" recorded that "Xiao Shao is ninety percent, and the phoenix comes to the instrument." It is called this because the accompaniment instrument of Shao music is mainly the Xiao (the panpipe at that time).
Breathing is a normal physiological phenomenon of life. The strength, speed, size and length of breathing indicate the degree of people's health. Adopting correct abdominal breathing is like slowing down the biological clock, reducing energy consumption and prolonging the time of energy exertion, that is, prolonging life. The correct breathing method is very important for blowpipe. Chinese folk windpipe attaches great importance to the use of "qi". Only by using the breath properly can it be played freely for a long time. The blowpipe generally adopts abdominal breathing.
1. Abdominal breathing can improve heart function. During abdominal breathing, the contraction and relaxation of the diaphragm and abdominal muscles constantly changes the abdominal pressure. For example, when the abdominal pressure increases, the veins in the abdominal cavity are under pressure, and the blood is pumped into the right atrium. On the contrary, when the abdominal pressure decreases, blood is input into the abdominal cavity. Due to the continuous alternation, the breathing exercise increases the function of the heart's nourishing blood vessels, and at the same time increases the amount of oxygen in the heart, which invisibly charges the body and increases the blood flow. circulation, which enhances cardiac nutrition, improves the nutritional process of the heart, and helps maintain the health of the cardiovascular system.
2. Abdominal breathing can expand lung capacity and enhance lung function. The main physiological function of the lung is to control qi, and the lung is the place for gas exchange. The clear qi people inhale, accumulate in the chest, participate in the generation of zong qi, and focus on the heart to exercise the whole body. In order to transmit air and fluid, and moisturizing the fur at the same time. Frequent blowpipes can improve cardiopulmonary function and thus play a cosmetic role.
