Before the 1960s, the Jino people were still in the patrilineal clan rural commune stage at the end of the primitive commune society. The village is managed by a "senior council" composed of seven people. Each village has a pair of big drums, the bigger one is the female drum called Zhuoba, the smaller one is the male drum called Zhuose, and they are placed in the father's house in the mother village. Usually no one is allowed to strike or move at will, only during religious sacrifices (such as offering sacrifices to goddesses), building a new house and other activities. It is the annual New Year's festival that really makes the spit a musical instrument for the masses' entertainment. During the three-day celebration, people sing and dance all night long with the accompaniment of the spit, the cymbal, the cymbal and other musical instruments. On other festive occasions, such as the New Rice Festival, wedding celebrations, etc., it is not allowed to tap the spit.

But just after the 1960s, the social outlook of the Jinuo people has undergone great changes, the masses have been freed from the shackles of religious ideology, and Saitu has been widely used in various festivals and festive occasions. When playing, the spit is often placed horizontally on a special trapezoidal drum stand with a height of 130 cm. One person beats a fixed rhythm in the back, and two people take turns to beat the drum in front of the dance or one person dances in front. The dance is strong and graceful. , the playing method is rich and varied. Another four perform two-sided and two cymbal ensembles. In the mass singing and dancing activities, the spit is the main rhythm instrument. The singing and dancing accompanied by it and the cymbal, cymbal and other musical instruments are called "big drums", and both singing and dancing are emphasized. The tune is only one phrase, and different lyrics can be sung repeatedly.
