Extensive observations of solar flares made in high energy bands during the maximum of the present solar cycle are discussed with a special reference to the results from Hiniotori, and with attention to the relevant flare methods. The hard X-ray (HXR) images from Hinotori showed mostly coronal emission at 20-25 keV suggesting that the HXR is emitted from multiple coronal loops, consistent with the non-thermal electron beam mode in a high density corona. The thermal HXR model seems to be inconsistent with some observations. Three types of flares which have been classified from the Hinotori results are described, along with newly discovered hot thermal component of 30-40 million K which contributes thermal HXR emission. A summary is given for the characteristics of the energy release in an impulsive burst; and an empirical model is described, which explains simultaneous energy releases in multiple loops and successive movements of the release site as suggested from the HXR morphology. The discovery of large blue-shifted hot plasma from the soft X-ray line spectrum leads to some quantitative arguments for the evaporating flare model. An electron-heated flare atmosphere appears to explain various observations consistently.
