Qiqi was mistakenly called Qiang flute in a previously published music dictionary.

The Qiang flute is an ancient single-pipe, no-reed, three-hole, vertical wind instrument in China, which existed in the Han Dynasty. It is of the same family as the ancient musical instrument. Xu Shen's "Shuowen Jiezi": "The Qiang flute has three holes". Ying Shao's "Customs Tongyi": "The flute is one foot and four inches long and has seven holes. Then there is the Qiang flute. ... Longer than the ancient flute, it has three holes and different sizes, so it is called a double flute." Many, Qiang flute became a general term, and was written into poems by literati, making it difficult to distinguish between Qiang flute and horizontal flute. In the Yuan Dynasty, the records in Yuan history still read: "It is made like a flute and has three holes." It was used for court banquets. The history of the Ming Dynasty records that the Qiang flute was used in the Siyi dance music during the banquet. After the Qing Dynasty, the Qiang flute disappeared. In the early 1950s, folk artists of the Qiang nationality played their jiji in Chengdu and other places. The interviewer contacted Ma Rong's "Flute Fu" in the poems such as "the modern double flutes started from the Qiang" and the Tang Dynasty "why should the Qiang flute complain about the willows?", which they mistakenly thought were true. The Qiang flute is subjectively given the name of Qiang flute. People in the music industry have not seen the real thing and believed it to be true.

Mr. Yuan Bingchang, a famous ethnomusicologist in my country, after several years of investigation and research, published the academic paper "Qiang Di Kao" in the fourth issue of "Musical Instruments" in 1992, citing literature, and analyzing the air-sounding musical instruments with similar shapes and sizes. Qiang flute. Moreover, there has never been a Qiang flute in the Qiang area, and the name of the Qiang flute, which has been imposed on it for 40 years, has been rectified until now.
