When Miao young men and women are socializing, jumping slopes or in love life, most of them are men playing the flute and women singing harmony. Although there is no fixed tune, the soft and euphemistic tune blown out is like singing an emotional love song.

When the straight flute is played, the flute pipe is placed upright. The ring finger, middle finger, and index finger of the right hand press the first, second, and third holes respectively, and the ring finger, middle finger, and index finger of the left hand press the fourth, fifth, and sixth holes respectively. The upper mouth of the tube is placed on the lower lip, and the upper lip protrudes forward, and the air flow enters the tube from the blowing hole, making the air column vibrate and sound. The sound of the barrel is eight degrees away from the sixth hole.
