The Xibo iron reed (pinyin: Xíbó zú tiě huáng) is a traditional musical instrument of the Xibo people, belonging to the class of reed instruments. It is made by bending a 10 cm long iron bar into pliers. It is shaped as a capital frame, and the spring tongue sandwiched in the middle is made of thin steel sheet or thin steel sheet. The playing method is the same as that of the pincer-shaped iron spring.
The Xibe ethnic group is an ancient ethnic group with a long history among the ethnic minorities in my country. The Xibo people originally lived in the northeast region. During the Qianlong period, some Xibo people moved westward to Xinjiang to enrich the locality. Today, most of the Xibo people live in Liaoning Province (70.2%) and Qapqal Xibo Autonomous County, Huocheng, Gongliu and other counties in Xinjiang. There are scattered settlements in Fuyu, eastern Inner Mongolia and the Nenjiang River Basin of Heilongjiang Province.
