The nose flute is named after playing with the nostrils. The musical instruments commonly used by Li youths to express their love, there is also a love story about the production of the nose flute.

Legend has it that a long time ago, a pair of young Li people fell in love at the foot of Wuzhi Mountain. Before getting married, the girl went to the betel nut garden to pick betel nut. She was found by the owner of the cave and arrested. The owner of the cave forced the girl to marry him. The girl refused and was locked up. The young man searched for ten days and ten nights, and finally found that the girl was locked in a small hole in the jungle. The two could not meet each other, and the young man had to sing and tease. When the master of the cave found out, he picked up the young man again, cut off his tongue, and sent him to a remote mountain forest. After a month, the young man appeared by the cave again. He chopped a section of white bamboo and blew out his pain and longing with his nose. The girl understood and was moved. Later, the young man was caught and executed by the master. Before his death, the trustee handed the nose flute to the girl. Soon, the girl escaped from the tiger's mouth and knelt in front of the young man's grave, distraught, and played the nose flute that the young man had played before his death. However, the girl was carrying a nose flute and slept in front of the young man's grave. Since then, the nose flute has been passed down from generation to generation.
