Excerpt
The term "Chinese bamboo flute" is not confined to the dizi, but actually refers to a wide range of transverse (horizontally held when played) and end-blown (air split directly on mouthpiece) flutes that are made of bamboo. Among them, the xiao is comparable to the dizi in terms of its popularity and prestige.
