Sixianhu (Pinyin: sì xián hú) Sixianhu is a bow and stringed musical instrument of the Zhuang people. The timbre is rich and used for folk song accompaniment. Popular in Tian'e County, Hechi Area, Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region.
The shape is composed of the piano tube, the piano rod, the peg, the jin, the bridge, the strings and the bow.
In order to commemorate Shanlang and Naying in the beautiful legend, the Bouyei people have always used four-stringed hula to play beautiful Bouyei love songs to express their sincere love.
When playing, sit in a seated position, place the piano barrel on the left leg, support the piano rod with the left hand, press the strings with the index finger, middle finger, ring finger, and little finger, hold the bow with the right hand, and place the bow hair between the first and second strings and the third and fourth strings respectively. To play, when the bow is pushed inward, the first and third strings sound simultaneously; when the bow is pulled outward, the second and fourth strings sound simultaneously.
