Once, they fell in love at first sight when they were "you Fang" (that is, young men and women use antiphonal songs to fall in love). It didn't take long for the girl to come to Brother Jiang's nine house, but the boy's mother didn't like the girl and always wanted to tell her to go. In order to keep the girl, Jiang Xiujiu pretended to be sick and bedridden, and the girl stayed by his side to serve. Jiu Jiu didn't know what the plan was, and after serving for three years, he didn't recover from his illness, so he took up the burden and left. Jiang Xiongjiu chased after the door, took off the prickly ash leaves in front of the door, and put it to his mouth to blow the truth. The graceful and sincere sound of leaves flew over the fields and hills, and floated to the hillside. The girl heard the sound and returned. The boy's mother saw the girl's affection and never drove her away again. They formed a happy marriage, and from then on, their family lived a harmonious and happy life.

There is an ancient love song circulating among the Buyi people: the leaves are piled up in the mountains, but unfortunately my elder brother can't play it.

Version 2

Legend has it that the orphan Danye is hard-working and simple. One day, he was resting on the way home from collecting firewood, and saw a kind of leaf called Guanmenchai rolled up and closed, and when the breeze blew, it made a melodious "woo woo" sound. Make a crisp sound. From then on, every day he went up the mountain to chop wood, he would pick a few leaves and play it for twenty-one days in a row. Once he became proficient in playing, he was able to use twenty-one joys in his hard life and his joys and sorrows. The melody of anger and sorrow is expressed. Unexpectedly, this beautiful and beautiful music actually touched the heartstrings of the seven fairies in the sky. She disregarded the rules and regulations of the sky and resolutely came down to the world to "wave whistle" with Danye (Buyei language means to talk about love). Dan Ye is on Nanlong Mountain, and the Seven Fairies are on Beifeng Slope. They send each other a wave and whistle song with the sound of wooden leaves. You blow one, and I answer you. The more they blow, the closer they come together. , When Dan Ye walked to the middle of the two mountains, I saw the Seven Fairies waiting there shyly like a camellia, holding a leaf that was neither old nor tender. They became relatives and lived a good life of men farming and women weaving. Since then, the Bouyei people have been blowing Konoha, and young men and women have used the sound of Konoha to convey their love. This love song of "use only Konoha without a matchmaker" was born very early. Legends like the Bouyei people are also popular among other ethnic minorities such as the Lisu people, and the custom of blowing leaves to invite love is still preserved to this day.
