The flute has flat blowing and urgent blowing, which are the playing skills of the flute. The flat blowing should be slow, and the urgent blowing should be fast. These two techniques often appear in the expression of the flute music. Generally, slow blowing is used for the lyrical adagio part, and urgent blowing is used for the cheerful allegro part, one slow, one fast or two slow and three fast, which are always scattered in the flute music. Flat blowing pays attention to the looseness of the mouth and the slightly larger mouth damper, while for urgent blowing, the mouth wind is finer, the mouth damper is very thin, and there is a feeling of muscle tension. The breath of urgent blowing is also very strong, and it is more difficult to grasp the shape of the damper than flat blowing. It is easy to blow certain sounds, and it is normal to blow a certain sound or blow a flower.

Flat blowing looks very simple, but in fact, few people can achieve that kind of elegant feeling. Of course, except for master-level people, most people are very perfunctory or impetuous, like pretending to be vassal and elegant, but it is useless!
