Whisling should be an independent art, but many people have prejudices against whistling, and it has not been recognized and taken seriously by the public.

Some people say, "Whistles should belong to the category of music, because you can play beautiful music with whistles, so it should be a category in music."

Some people say, "Whistles are made on the mouth. Kung Fu is an art in which people use their mouths to express their emotions, so it should belong to the category of ventriloquism."

I think that the above two views are not comprehensive.

My opinion is: Whistle is a unique way of artistic expression that uses the mouth to express thoughts and feelings. Whistling cannot be simply and one-sidedly included in the category of oral skills or music. However, whistles are closely related to ventriloquism and music. With the development of human history, both ventriloquism and music have borrowed and utilized the performance method of whistles. Whistling is incorporated into ventriloquism and music.

Because:

First, from the perspective of the relationship between ventriloquism and whistles, ventriloquism is a type of acrobatics and folk art programs (including ventriloquism). Use pronunciation skills such as mouth, tongue, throat, nose, etc. to imitate various sounds, such as train sounds, bird calls, etc., and coordinate with movements during performance to enhance the sense of reality. In ancient times, ventriloquism was called "crosstalk", which means imitation of sound. It is an art of imitating sound and is still popular today. It can be seen that in the performance form of ventriloquism, the performers not only simulate many whistle expressions, such as bird calls, cannonballs..., but also use many nasal sounds, guttural sounds, etc. Therefore, whistle cannot replace and include the entire category of ventriloquism. It is just one of the artistic expression methods often used in ventriloquism.

Second, from the perspective of the relationship between music and whistles, music is an art that uses organized music to express people's thoughts and feelings and reflect real life. Music can be divided into two major departments: vocal music and instrumental music. Although the whistle uses the function of the mouth to make sounds through the lips, tongue and airflow, it can not only simulate the singing of various singers in vocal music, but also simulate various instruments in instrumental music. It can be seen that whistles can fully express music and make the content of music richer and more substantial.

Third, judging from the actual performances in the art world, there are countless whistles used to express music or whistles used to perform ventriloquism.

Therefore, the views that whistling is ventriloquism and that whistling can only express music are wrong and incomplete. It should be a unique art category.
