cucurbit flute

A kind of bamboo grows in Luxi City, Dehong Prefecture, Yunnan Province. The Dai language is called "Maidang Khan" and the local Chinese is called "Lira Bamboo". Especially, almost the whole dam area of mangshi Bazi is covered by this kind of bamboo. The growth characteristics of this kind of bamboo are based on the crown. The crown is not large, ranging from a few to a dozen bamboos in each crown. From a distance, it looks like a scattered phoenix tail.

During 1979, a group of three people from Tianjin Song and Dance Theatre traveled to Dehong Prefecture, Yunnan Province. In Bazi, mangshi, Ni Weide, a poet and poet, saw young men and women of the Dai people talking about love in droves in the bright moonlight, singing love songs in a low voice, and the voice of cucurbits. The evening breeze blew to the bamboo tip ... The poet was full of poetry and wrote the lyrics of "Fengzhu in the moonlight". Since then, songs have spread all over China and all over the world.
