Zhuyedi overview

Zhuyedi

Bamboo leaf flute (pinyin: zhú yè dí), also known as bludgeon and leaf flute, is a single-reed gas-sounding instrument of the Dong nationality, popular in Congjiang County and Sanjiang Dong Autonomous County.

Bamboo leaf flutes are made of bamboo, and most of them are made of bamboo without water saving or the thickness of chopsticks. Folks do not stick to specifications, and they are made at will, so the length and size are not fixed.

The bamboo leaf flute has a soft and beautiful tone. Bamboo-leaf flutes are mostly used for solo performances and do not participate in ensembles of other Dong nationality instruments. Players often play alone in the mountains or fields for self-entertainment. There is no fixed music card, and most folk songs or minor tunes are played, and sometimes they are played improvisationally.
