Abstract

This study focuses on the evolution and preservation of the cultural heritage of the Ti-Tzu ten-hole bamboo flute in Sichuan Province, China. For collecting data, the researchers conducted interviews and observations. The results of the study show that Shen Wenyi's original work resulted in the invention of bamboo flutes with seven, nine, and ten holes, which are significant findings. These developments resolved issues with pitch discrepancies and broadened the range of playing techniques, influencing the flute's cultural importance and musical repertoire. The study also emphasizes educational endeavors, group development, and textbook creation to safeguard and advance the flute tradition. It highlights the lasting impact and constant evolution of the Ti-Tzu ten-hole bamboo flute as a representation of cultural heritage and a source of pride in Sichuan Province.
