Jiangsu folk music has a profound and unique influence on the art of bamboo flute performance, especially in terms of musical style, performance techniques and forms of expression. As an important birthplace of Jiangnan culture, Jiangsu has a rich variety of folk music, with Jiangnan Sizhu and Kunqu opera being particularly representative. As a traditional musical instrument, bamboo flute occupies an important position in Jiangsu folk music. Its performance art not only inherits traditional bamboo flute techniques, but also integrates local characteristics and cultural elements.The elegant melody and rich rhythm of Jiangsu folk music provide unique artistic inspiration and performance space for bamboo flute performance. The exquisiteness of Jiangnan Sizhu and the euphemism and softness of Kunqu opera have influenced the use of breath, fingering techniques and timbre expression in bamboo flute performance. Under the nourishment of Jiangsu folk music, the art of bamboo flute performance has not only enhanced the expressiveness of timbre, but also promoted the innovation and development of performance techniques. By integrating the unique musical style and emotional expression of Jiangsu, bamboo flute performance has gradually formed an art form with unique local characteristics and has become an important part of Jiangsu folk music.This study aims to explore the influence of Jiangsu folk music on the art of bamboo flute performance, analyze its profound role in music creation, performance techniques and artistic inheritance, and further understand the shaping and contribution of local folk music to the art of traditional musical instrument performance.
