As a traditional wind instrument originating from Yunnan minority, hulusi is loved by many music lovers for its unique timbre and playing techniques.

In hulusi performance, glissando mainly includes two types: upper glissando and lower glissando.
The use of the upper glisson is usually manifested as sliding from the lower scale to the higher scale, symbolizing the upsurge of emotions and the openness of artistic conception, giving people a positive, soothing and smooth feeling, which is often seen in the emotional scene of joy, joy or passion.
The lower glissando, on the other hand, is a smooth transition from the higher to the lower scale, creating a deep, long, and poignant musical effect, which is often used to express the emotional atmosphere of melancholy, sadness, or longing.

Not only that, mastering and properly using glissando skills can greatly enhance the artistic appeal of fenugreek performance, make the original single melody become colorful, give music works stronger vitality and expression, so as to better show the unique charm of fenugreek as a national instrument.
