Rewriting P systems, as language generating devices, are one of the earliest classes of P systems with structured strings as objects and the rewriting rules as evolution rules. Flat splicing is an operation on strings, inspired by a splicing operation on circular strings. In this work, we consider a variant of rewriting P systems with only regular or linear rewriting rules and alphabetic flat splicing rules, and the language generative power of rewriting P systems with flat splicing rules in comparison with flat splicing systems and Chomsky hierarchy is investigated.
