The history and usage scenarios of Dongbull

The Xibe people have a long cultural history. The Xibo people are good at singing and dancing, and the folk music is rich and beautiful. Folk songs and dances are common hobbies of people. Among the folk songs, there are both traditional ancient songs, hunting songs, love songs and new folk songs. The older folk song circulating in Xibe is called "Aqina", which ruthlessly exposes the ugly face of the reactionary ruler, reflects the spirit of resistance of the working people, and praises the people's good wishes for freedom and a happy life.

Hunting songs are inseparable songs in the daily life of Xibo people. Whenever the mighty hunting teams set off, or they are returning home after hunting, people often sing the unrestrained hunting songs full of grassland flavor to express their hearts. Passion, the joy of singing the labor of life

After the founding of New China, the Xibo people became part of the big family of the nation. Under the brilliance of the Party's national policy, their lives were getting better day by day. They composed many new folk songs, sang a happy new life, and praised the good leadership of the Party. Because the Xibe people live together with the Han and Kazakh people, they live in good-neighborly and friendly relations and have close cultural exchanges, so the upper half of the Sanxian that absorbs the Han nationality and the lower half of the Kazakh Akendumbra appear. On the basis of the combination of these two instruments, a new type of stringed instrument, Dongbuer, belonging to the Xibe people, is created, which is rare in our country.
