Ficak

Ficak (pinyin: fēi chá kè) is a single-reed gas-sounding instrument unique to the Xibe people. The Xibe language is also called Olhuifizak. The Han people call it the reed flute. It is popular in Qabu Chaerxibo Autonomous County, Yili Kazak Autonomous Prefecture, Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region. The Xibe people have a long cultural tradition, and folk songs and dances are popular. You can often hear high-pitched and unrestrained hunting songs, cheerful wedding songs, field songs of productive labor and pastoral songs full of grassland flavor. When night falls on the earth, the duet of love songs of young men and women will be heard from a distance, with beautiful tunes and beautiful words, sometimes replaced by the melodious and euphemistic sound of reed flutes.
