Among Jingpo folk traditional musical instruments, "Tuliang" is favored by people for its bright and deep tone. According to records, Tuliang has a history of more than 7,000 years. Tuliang has been passed down to this day, and it symbolizes sadness and grief among Jingpo people. Therefore, it can only be played outside Longshang in Zhaizi. The reason for this has to do with a poignant love story legend...
Once, in the era of slash-and-burn cultivation, there was a pair of very loving lovers - "Le Xian Dang Zhi" and "Peng Ji Gaili". One night, the two of them made an appointment to guard the valley together. The girl was spinning the thread while waiting for her sweetheart, when the ball of thread accidentally fell to the bottom of the shop. After a while, she always felt that something was playing with her ball of thread. The girl thought to herself that it must be her lover who was here to make fun of her! So the girl said: "Stop playing, come in quickly". Unexpectedly, it was a fierce tiger who came to play the string ball. Hearing the voice, he came in and killed the girl. When the "Le sample is the ambition" came, just as the girl thought, he also got into the bottom of the building and wanted to make the girl play with him. Unexpectedly, there was no human voice and only blood was dripping. He immediately outmaneuvered the tiger, peeled the skin cover for the girl, and threw the girl's clothes to the tiger. After that, the heartbroken "Le Xian Dang Zhi" took the bodies of the girl and the tiger back to the stockade, put them beside Long Shang, chopped a bamboo and made a "Tuliang" and played it, feeling endless in his heart. Grief can only be expressed in a good voice.
Since then, Jingpo elders will tell their younger generation not to play "Tuliang" in the stockade, which represents mourning.
