A stroboscopic evaluation was prepared for every participant. Additionally, the voice classification and features of individuals were correlated statistically. <strong>Results:</strong> Statistically significant difference were observed between the voice categories and the size of stomatopharynx, the shape of the hard palate, the length of the vocal folds, the width and thickness of the vocal folds, as well as the tone of speech, in male singers. Statistically significant differences were also observed between the voice categories and all the variables except the shape of epiglottis, the color of speech and the shape of the vocal folds, in female singers. <strong>Conclusions:</strong> There is correlation between the morphometric characteristics of the vocal folds and the voice categories.展开更多

All participants underwent stroboscopic and cervical posterior-anterior radiographic imaging of their oral pharyngeal and laryngeal area. Additionally, the voice classification and features (e.g., height, weight) of individuals were correlated statistically. <strong>Results:</strong> Statistically significant correlations were observed between the VC of the participants with the Phonetic Area (PA) (r = −0.451, p = 0.001) and the VC with the Oral-pharyngeal Cavity (OPC) area (r = −0.402, p = 0.001) in the total sample. Specifically, in male singers, the PA and VC correlation was r = −0.319, p = 0.047, and the VC and OPC area was r = −0.328, p = 0.044. Likewise, in female singers, the PA area and VC and PA were r = −0.336, p = 0.041 and the OPC area and VC were r = −0.344, p = 0.039. The analysis confirmed no correlations between VC and height and body weight. <strong>Conclusions:</strong> The cervical posteroanterior radiography in conjunction with laryngeal stroboscopy provided new morphometric correlations of the VC of professional singers with their Oropharyngeal and Laryngeal Anatomy.展开更多

Due to a long history of contact with the Han and Zhuang nationalities, most Yao people also speak the Han and Zhuang languages. The Yao nationality has no written script.The Yao have settled mainly in the Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region. and Hunan, Yunnan, Guangdong and Guizhou Provinces. The areas they live in boast beautiful mountains dotted with bamboo trees and pine forests. The Yao are divided into many branches such as 'Pan Yao'. 'Guoshan Yao'. 'White-trousers Yao', and 'Red-trousers Yao'. Each group has distinctive dwellings, clothing, and customs.The Yao nationality is one with strong cultural traditions. Among the many folk books, the historic documents most cherished by the Yao are the Canonization of Guoshan and the Ode to King Pan. The former tells the Yao's history and the latter, over 3.000 lines long, depicts how the Yao ancestors created the nationality and how the objects in the world came into being.The colorful Yao costume displays many aspects of traditional Yao culture. The Yao women are good at cross stitch and wax printing. Their method of wax printing is similar to that of other nationalities, but the materials are different. The wax they use is a kind of tree gum. With strong adhesive properties, it is suitable for drawing delicate and complicated designs.The Yao have a festival almost every month. The big ones include the Spring Festival. the Pure Brightness Festival, and the King Pan Festival.展开更多
